"Let's Slow Them Down! 98 Rutgers Street"
"HEAR, HEAR1"
"I live on a street that people use to avoid a light at Parker Ave and Boyden Ave. They speed up the hill from Boyden, without regard for what they might find at the top, like our kids!!"
"Please include Ridgewood Rd, which has 1 Elementary School, at least 2 nursery schools, and several churches right on the street. And some of the worst speeding in the town."
"While I am happy to sign this petition, please do not add my email address to any mailing list or pass it on to others. Thanks."
"I live at the corner of Sommer Ave and Osborne Terrace, and Sommer Avenue is used like a RACEWAY to get from Prospect to Valley Street. We've had petitions, and the speed checking cart (though the last time it was simply broken and was taken away!) Fran"
"I live at 129 Tuscan Road, which is a particulary dangerous road thanks to vehicles speeding frequently. "
"Ridgewood Terrace is also another pass-through street where people routinely speed."
"Traffic is a huge problem throughout the township. I would support a traffic summit, with the police, engineering and public works departments represented along with the Township's Transportation Committee and various public and private pedestrian safety "
"My husband and I walk our dogs around the Plymouth Ave & Oakview area each evening around 9:00pm. I am horrified by how fast cars tear up and down the streets."
"I live near the high school off of Valley and people often will drive too fast in order to get to school (students and adults alike) or avoid the lights on Valley. Slow down!"
"I live on Midland Blvd. near Boyden. Cars come off of Boyden speed up the incline and then speed down the block. "
"I agree with everything in this petition, particularly the part about the creation and implementation of an accountable traffic safety plan with enforcement."
"Crack down on these menacing Maplewood speeders -- especially in areas where children are walking to/from school. Thank you."
