Other: We have had multiple incidents on our street due to people driving too fast and visibility issues for drivers coming out of E Allendale Road. A car flipped and landed at the entrance of Barkley Square apartments, a car went off road striking the corner of a carport and edge of a house, a woman was killed after striking a moving vehicle and most recently a young woman struck our walnut tree at the edge of our driveway suffering a concussion and a broken arm. Totaled her car and the other driver’s car was damaged badly but her airbags seemed to have prevented injury. We, as well as our neighbors have had to replace our mailboxes several times. It is a matter of time before someone on the sidewalk is struck and killed. I have not seen police stopping speeders on our street for some time. I believe some type of traffic calming devices would help as no one drives the 30 mph speed limit on this road.
Let the resident know about ongoing efforts to prioritize Walnut St. Pike.
Kelli, I believe we have already emailed about this, but if not, I apologize for the late response here. Over the past year, the City has prioritized street safety along Walnut St. Pike through a couple different avenues. 1. As part of its Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant application, the City prioritized Walnut St. Pike for crosswalk improvements and sidewalk connections. 2. Through the City's Sidewalk Committee, staff has made a point to discuss the pedestrian experience along and across Walnut St. Pike. We will have much more clarity once the SS4A grants are announced as to funds available for safety improvements along the corridor. Regardless, know that this is very much on our radar and we are working to improve safety for residents and visitors alike here.
