[RP TownTalk] TownTalk Digest, Vol 146, Issue 23

Mon Sep 24 14:44:40 UTC 2018

We tried that on Ravenswood road across from my house for a few days.  The
police pulled over 30+ people in one morning rush hour for blasting through
the stop sign.  They did this only a few times after I raised my concern
and I haven't seen any police here regulating since. (almost a year ago
now)  Now they just keep on blasting through.  We need signage to keep
people off Ravenswood and Taylor during rush hour.  Maybe not give them the
option to use our roads as a cut through for EW Highway,

I would love to come to a meeting and voice my concerns along with the rest
of you but I have two kinds under 3 years old and cant find the time to
join the meetings.  I hope that the powers that be actively monitor these
emails and can glean the information needed to make the necessary changes
to our growing traffic problems.

Thanks!
