You know what really sucks? This neighborhood, while filled with 40-Somethings like me and my wife, have lots of kids, from age 2 months to 5 years old. People like Chris Brown and his posse that speed up and down 18 foot wide streets have practically terrified parents to even put their kids in the car, let alone allow them near the street.
I've looked into having speed bumps put on our street (this was done the street below us because a few years back, a 4 year old girl was run over by a speeder and lost her life) but I've been told that since we're on an incline, it can't be done. If I can ever find the time, I'm heading over to our city councilman's office to discuss.
In the meantime, the kids aren't allowed near the street and must always hold someone's hand. Safety first. |

man...that scares me to death.
My daughter lives with her mom on a rural county road with little traffic, and I'm still apprehensive about the speed of which vehicles travel down that road.
