He stated the speed has increased since he and his wife moved onto the street 1.5 years ago., noting that you cannot time the cars in order to pull in and out of the driveway. He has spoken to Mr. Kelly, the Law Director and Director Scofield about this issue and feels there should be more speed signs on the street, at least two and noting there are a lot of kids in the area. He and his wife are renovating their home and investing in the City, and in return they need attention to this issue. Also mentioned that Crocker Road is a speed strip and a community effort is needed to stop this before a fatality happens on the road. Mr. Bruce Bluell 4716 Lansing Drive Mr. Bluell is a neighbor of Mr. Peeples and has lived on the street since 1983, and came to reiterate Mr. Peeples sentiment. He feels the patrols have decreased in frequency since Crocker Road opened. He also stated the rush hour traffic cuts through at speeds over the speed limit and the sound has increased as well. Mr. John Cotofan 25914 Tallwood Drive Came to thank Safety Services for providing Auxiliary Police presence at the NOSO Soccer In - House Season, as he believes their presence on Barton/Bradley Roads made it a safer experience for all. He also stated that Barton/Bradly Field added a GaGa Ball pit and a few other things from Grant Becker of Troup 664as an Eagle Scout project. In 2018, Derek Becker built GaGa Ball pits and Forest and Spruce, which were both recently sold to the City.
