Can the City PLEASE do something about slowing down traffic on East Morningside through Park Ridge East. I think nearly every resident on the block has complained, particularly those with kids. It can be speed bumps, but can be anything else too, raised garden beds in the street periodically, rumble strips, anything. But it's getting worse now that traffic backs up past the stop sign more regularly now at Smith and Morningside between 3rd and Morningside because of limited lanes at the intersection with highway construction. So cars when backed beyond the stop sign are speeding through the neighborhood as a shortcut to get back to 3rd/highway. Any help is super appreciated. Please reach out to the neighborhood association if helpful, or honestly knock on any of our doors on E Morningside and we'd be happy to provide input as those living on the street are most affected. If you want a handful of names of supporters, let us know, but in short it's a residential street that is full of bikers and walkers and the neighborhood is largely contained so doesn't need a highway through it on Morningside. We welcome any sort of E/W B-line that we've heard about or anything else that isn't fast cars. Thank you! It also goes right by the park! Oh, we did want to say thank you for the new tennis benches at the park though! Folks across the city use those courts, so they'll come in handy!
