Again we feel that it is necessary to remind residents to SLOW DOWN.  Soon our kids will not only be playing in yards and near the streets but also waiting near the roads for School Busses and getting off in the afternoons.  There are speeders in our neighborhood who are not from the association but there are also those of us who mean well but are in a hurry and not thinking of our speed.  Please think, each time you enter our association boundaries, that it is MY JOB to make sure the car I am driving is going the speed limit or below in my neighborhood.

Recently a flyer was placed in the press boxes by a resident that has some difficult statistics for all of us to hear that at 20 MPH 9 out of 10 persons who are hit by a car survives but at 40 MPH only one person survives.  A link to the full color pdf is here.  The PEDS.ORG web site also has some other good resources and one is titled 10 Good Reasons to Make Your Community Walkable.  Please go check it out and maybe next time you drive the streets near home you will think more of your speed and even slow down the speeding driver behind you.

Thank you
