Description

Cars speeding, 60mph all hours, day or night. This area is residential with Roosevelt cutting through residential streets that come up to Roosevelt at a diagonal. People walk their dogs, kids and generally walk across Roosevelt in fear for their lives and if they do not get hit, motorists speed through past people on foot as if the road is their right of way. It's a horrible way to live in a neighborhood, feeling unsafe when I walk my dogs or just want to go for a walk. In addition, the noise of racing/speeding cars is loud and not OK for a residential area. I think we should turn the whole of Roosevelt Ave, from 130th to Aurora Ave N, into a long/narrow park and/or greenway. There is no park in this Haller Lake area around Ingraham and we could use it. Cars can take 130th or 145th, major thoroughfares. There's not need, other than for City light to maintain lights along Roosevelt, to keep this road open. A park would be a very nice addition to the neighborhood. But, if no park, then can we at least get speed bumps? Dangerous living along this road (my house abuts Roosevelt).
