Dear neighbors:
I just want to share my appreciation to all that showed up to the AAA Slow Down Campaign Press Conference this past week. There was a good show of neighbors who came out on very short notice. The 5th District Captain and staff was there along with Alderman D’Amato and Council President Willie Hines, and AAA spokesperson.
Some highlights and suggestions heard:
1. A motorist was ticketed for squealing tires from a stop at Locust and Cambridge just prior to the event.
2. In addition to the recent signing of a Pedestrian Ahead sign, the Stop Bar on the road at the same location was re-stripped.
Other suggestions:
1. Stencil a LOOK sign on the sidewalk on the norhwest corner of Locust & Cambridge.
2. Replace the b&w Yield to Pedestrians sign with newer colored sign.
3. Stripe the perimeter of the (fried-egg) traffic circle at Cambridge and Kenwood so motorist see it.
4. Finish filling and planting the traffic circle at Bartlett & Linnwood.
To conclude, we can set examples to others so….Slow Down, Save Fuel, and Be Safe!
