Dear members of City Council and citizens

My name is ---- and I live on  Shore Drive. The reason why I would like to address City Council today is speeding cars on Shore Drive. Since I have lived on Shore Drive we have had several severe accidents involving speeding cars, one time a car was wrapped around a palm tree in the median and caught on fire, just a few yards from my house. 

Another time a speeding car destroyed the newspaper stands then came across the road and crashed into our mailbox sending glass and metal parts all over the road and all the way up to my basketball hoop. My concern is that there are people on the sidewalk and in the street who could get seriously injured by the speeding cars. Small children, like my six year old brother and the neighbor’s grandchildren, play outside by the sidewalk. My dad has a den meeting at our house with my eleven year old brother and his friends who play outside. Shore Drive is also a popular recreation trail for joggers, walkers and bicycle riders. So far we have been lucky that the residents have not been injured. My question for the city council is: How can we slow the speeders down who think that Shore Drive is a racetrack?My suggestion is to put up speed bumps or speed waves.

 Thank you for your attention to my concern.

Update: City Counsil didn't and said they couldn't do anything. They told me that i would have to go door with a petition for speed bumps. Why can the Mayor get a stop sign on his street and other counsil members get building exemptions without a petition. Hmm... They can't or won't because there nothing in it for them $$$ .
