Cars in this driveway routinely block the sidewalk.
Cars in this driveway routinely block the sidewalk.
I was walking my dog this morning when we noticed a deer ahead in the road, several hundred feet away. So we stopped and turned around to go the other way. I looked back after turning and realized it was aggressively running at us. Fortunately I am young and am able to run. But others in my neighborhood may not be so fortunate. This is completely unacceptable. I know that this is likely a doe protecting a fawn nearby, but I find this unacceptable as a citizen trying to use a public road to walk. It’s outrageous. Had I not seen it running at us it could have attacked and killed my dog, as they have been known to do, or attacked me.
Atwater @ Mitchell graffiti on back of public sign
There are no stop signs or speed bumps for a long section on Maxwell Lane between High Street and Jordan Avenue. The speed limit is 25. People are regularly driving 50. From Jordan heading east toward Sheridan there is a hill. Traffic turning or crossing at Mitchell aren’t able to see over the hill. If people drove the posted speed limit, it would not be an issue. There is regular honking as people speeding east on Maxwell crest the hill to find cars turning onto Maxwell from Mitchell or the residences. There are also many elementary students in the very near area, and a bus stop on Maxwell at Sheridan. A stop sign at Mitchell or Sheridan on Maxwell would drastically improve the safety of the area.
