Be safe on residential street

With the new roundabout going in at the intersection of Mill Road and Waikiki Road, Bellwood Drive will become a primary route between these two streets. Bellwood will become the easiest option. I live on Bellwood, and there are many young families and children who also live on it.

My neighbors regularly play in their front yard or driveway. All three of these beautiful girls are under the age of 6. Every single one of them is adorable and full of life. Please don’t take that away from them.

When you drive through Fairwood, please slow down. Bellwood is not an arterial. It’s a residential street filled with young children who have their entire lives to live. The buildings you see when driving along Bellwood aren’t businesses; they’re houses.

Respect the posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour, drive safely, and pay attention to people walking, playing and living on Bellwood and living in Fairwood. Lives depend on you. Thank you for respecting the residents of Fairwood.
