Description

There is rampant speeding along Chapel St between Olive and Franklin. For the second time in the past week my wife and I have nearly been run over in the crosswalk exiting Wooster Square to DePalma. There needs to be greater traffic-calming measures along these blocks which is a heavily trafficked residential neighborhood - the one crosswalk at DePalma and Chapel is not enough. Police need to enforce speeding along this route (I saw a police car ignore an SUV run the light at Chestnut and Chapel recently). This is unacceptable. Residents of this area should not feel frightened to cross Chapel Street. There should be either more crosswalks with pedestrian signs, speed bumps, and greater enforcement.
