[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gross. Matt Frumin, if you let this happen, you are out, guaranteed

“I live on University and walk dogs routinely. Cars with Virginia and Md plates routinely speed in the street, ignoring parked on both sides, pedestrians and the blind curve. They race through attempting to avoid the stop sign and are often on their phones, not looking who is in front of them. Speed cameras haven’t stopped them. We all complain and whenever a solution is proposed, people fight it. Nothing ever changes. Rain water continues to rush down the street and erode the concrete. I had to install a speed bump at my drive to direct chain bridge runoff from flooding my neighbor. Try going over a big bump every time you come into or leave your house. If you don’t live on the street and see the impact daily, not sure you can comment about your inconvenience. This is about safety. Speeding cars, no sidewalks, no action,

It’s like a big tobacco lobbyist strategy.. just keep the stays quo so no one does anything.”[/quote]

He's mad about water?  Does he think the runoff will obey the local traffic only signs?  [/quote]

The answer to this complaint is traffic calming and sidewalks, not stopping people from going through.  I live near a street that has a sign that prohibits traffic in one direction during rush hour in order to try to make it less of a cut through and the cars that I observe ignoring the sign are always the worst offenders when it comes to speeding and blowing stop signs.  If you put a sign saying people can't drive through the people who ignore it are not going to stop speeding unless they physically can't[/quote]

There's not actually a speeding problem.  The best solution is to install sidewalks and tell them to eff off with their bullcrap.[/quote]

Yes. And quit hissing[/quote]
