Description
To whom it may concern,
My home is the first house on Oakridge Street. Each and every day drivers continuously speed up and down the street with no respect for others. There are no signs that indicate the speed limit. This is a great concern to myself and most neighbors because we all have small children and/or pets. I have witnessed it many times and have nearly been hit by speeding cars when walking in the neighborhood. I really would appreciate it if someone would come to Oakridge and put up a sign encouraging drivers what the speed limit is in this neighborhood. Thank you.

The first speed limit sign on Pendleton Ave. itself, is not until nearly 1/2 mile from Memorial Dr. (PAST Bellamy School) and it’s covered by overgrowth AND is mis-aligned—-both of which was reported on this forum over a month ago, but not yet corrected.
There should be a speed limit sign on Pendleton within 500 feet or less after entering it from Memorial Dr.

You'll be encouraged to call the Police department and at that point you'll be told "we can't do anything unless we catch them" (love that line)
This is a systemic issue city wide that seems to continue. It took me 3 years to get an Issue sorta kinda resolved that's now back to where it was in the beginning.
I've called and called and called... I'm to the point where I'm fully convinced that the Police are either overwhelmed or just flat out do not care.
The part that's even more discouraging is there is literally 1..... YES 1 out of 9 city councilors on this forum (Ward 7 Councilor Courchesne) that is actually Involved, making a difference. Where are the rest? That's Big slap in the face as far as I'm concerned.
