<html><div style='background-color:'><P>I think there is a way to help the traffic, but would require the cooperation of the police department. I live on the corner of Natoli Pl and and Queensbury, the brick house owned by Jeffrey Yorke. That is and the end of the trap by the fire house, where the police set up on a regular basis and catch those who pass through during unauthorized hours. Obviously, there is heavy traffic on Lafayette during rush hour, especially with the morning trains that block Queensbury. Besides the back up, why can't the police setup unannounced traps like the do in front of the fire station to catch those that run stop signs on Lafayette? It would seem simple enough to catch those guilty of the "rolling stop" and pass out a few tickets...</P>

<META content="Microsoft SafeHTML" name=Generator>I feel your pain. And I admit to using Taylor or 49th, Ravenswood and Lafayette to get from E-W Hwy to Queensbury. I do this for the obvious reason of avoiding the back ups at Rt1 and E-W Hwy that sometimes extend to 49th. By contrast I seldom see an other car on Ravenswood when I'm in your neighborhood vis the traffic on Queensbury or Riverdale. <BR><BR>Now that Queensbury Rd will be blocked (west bound) in front of the firehouse, Ravenswood and Lafayette may become more attractive to additional drivers. Personally I'm betting on CSX. This summer they have "improved" the speed bump between Lafayette and Rhode Island at Queensbury Rd.<BR><BR>With tung-in-cheek (but not to far) I sometimes consider the effectiveness of large caliber weapons to get out of my driveway when the traffic is backed up at the light at Rt 1 or
for the the tracks. Don't even get me started about the late-night BOOM-BOOM car radios that drive by by house! (True sign of an old geezer - complaining about the young.)<BR><BR>Alas, Sue is correct, "There's probably no way we can realistically block off the whole town to anything but local traffic, but it sure would be nice, wouldn't it?"<BR><BR>Lou <BR><BR><A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="mailto:OurDollMom@aol.com">OurDollMom@aol.com</A> wrote:
