Issue acknowledged assigning to Traffic Division

I live in this neighborhood and think there should be stop signs at every intersection along Home and along Pine.

It would be great to have one of those "Your speed is..." signs to remind people they are no longer on an interstate. Every time we walk to school, the cars are flying past us and even the slightest mistake in wet or icy conditions could lead to a fatality.

The speeding on Home Ave is beyond dangerous. If the city fails to post speed limit signs and police this matter, the citizens will be forced to do something about it. The city knows that the way that Home Ave is being used is not what it was built for. There are various studies proving this. So the city allows this neighborhood two-lane road to act as their de facto Champlain Parkway for decades. The traffic continues to get worse and the speeding/distracted driving more dangerous. I watched a person speed by my house today going at least 65 mph while looking down texting with both hands!

Per Traffic Division: 25 mph speed limit signs were installed West of Shelburne Rd and East of Pine St - issue closed.

On my way home from picking up my son from pre-school this early afternoon I noticed the new 25 mph speed limit sign just west of Shelburne Rd heading toward the lake. THANK YOU. After talking with many neighbors about the issue I was losing hope that anything would be done.

There is A LOT of pent up anger and resentment among the long time residents on Home Ave about the increasing traffic load, speeding and driver behavior. People say it has gotten steadily worse and with City Market opening soon the burden will only grow.

Hopefully, the stop sign will be a positive start toward influencing people's behavior to use Home Ave in the way that it was legally intended. If the Champlain Parkway is ever built that should help, but being perpetually two years away does nothing to improve the here and now.

Once again, thanks for this site and for the new stop sign!
