RE: South Broad Street Area Plan / Danger
Hello,
I am writing regarding the increasing danger on Broad Street and the plan that was adopted in
December of 2014 but not fully implemented.
I am a homeowner and have lived in Stoneridge for seven years. Trying to pull out to go left
onto Broad Street has become increasingly more difficult and dangerous.
While I have been patient with hoping the city would address the danger sooner than later, I
now have a teenager driving and it is even more frightening to consider what can happen due to
the volume and speed of traffic that continues to increase on Broad. This needs to be addressed
and soon before there is loss of life.
For starters the following could be addressed:
• The center turn lane is open for turns at every intersection, making for very unsafe
driving. This lane is often used as an unlawful travel lane.
• Traffic needs to be slowed down on Broad Street. Speed bumps, lower speeds, and
additional traffic lights would be of most help.
Thank you for your time and I sincerely hope this gets addressed before we have a terrible
accident in the community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
