Goodrich – Despite cars speeding near neighborhood children, most residents aren’t in favor of speed bumps in one Goodrich neighborhood.
Results of a speed bump survey on Rose Lane and Fox Hollow are in, prompting residents to speak out at the July 11 Village of Goodrich meeting.
The survey was sent out in response to residents? complaints, said village president Ed York.
Residents agreed six speed bumps, at a cost of $400 each, are a potentially cheap way of saving lives. Some felt the bumps were a nuisance.
Since most of the drivers through the neighborhood are residents, perhaps they could be self-policing, suggested resident Bill Gibbs. Electronic speed signs were another idea.
Chad Toms doesn’t want to antagonize neighbors, but his family knows first-hand the tragedy associated with speeding drivers.
‘My wife’s grandmother was hit getting her mail,? he said.
Council encouraged residents to circulate a petition for a strategically-placed stop sign, and agreed to looking into more police presence in the area.
‘I think if you write three or four tickets–they’re mostly residents there–it’ll monitor itself,? said Toms.
