Cyclists

During warm weather, our roads welcome cyclists from our neighborhood. Cut-through traffic makes it difficult for cyclists to safely use our roads.

Pedestrians

With the lack of sidewalks, our residents must step off the road for vehicles to pass.

Road Longevity

The additional vehicle traffic reduces road longevity. These local streets were not designed to handle such volumes of traffic. The cost to repair and maintain these streets will be paid by taxpayers.
