Subject: Traffic Lights on South Broad St
Hi, I am writing to you to about the need for traffic signals on Broad Street between South Street and Orcutt Street. I
live on Lawrence Drive and it is becoming impossible to get out on Broad by car or bike to go towards town almost any
time of day. It is also difficult to get out at Lawton or Meadow. Pedestrians crossing is extremely dangerous yet you see
people doing it all the time. Please consider earmarking the money needed for the traffic signals at your budget
meeting on Saturday. This has been talked about long enough, the city needs to take action and make my neighborhood
safe again. Broad Street was a two lane road when we first moved to Lawrence Drive, there was not much traffic. Since
that time the city has allowed tremendous growth and development out south Broad Street without doing anything to
slow traffic or allow for safe exit from our neighborhood. Please start to implement the South Broad Street Plan by
installing traffic signals as soon as possible, it has become an important issue in our neighborhood. Thank you for your
time. Yours, Kathy and Mike Cunningham
