Dear
George,
I just read Kevin
Cox's message. Though I agree that the current method of traffic calming
is not only a failure but dangerous, I don't agree with his solution. I
think the answer is very simple and inexpensive: stop signs. I don't know
why, but people who speed will stop for stop signs. It has worked great
in the greenbrier neighborhood. I live on Locust and I will fight tooth
and nail to keep those bumps off our street. It appears certain members
of City Council are unwilling to admit they made a mistake. As the money
has already been spent we should let the experiment run its course but let's
not repeat the mistake elsewhere. This is one of the worse ideas I have
seen since they were thinking about putting in a traffic circle in front
of the old Lane High School.
