Resident urges traffic-calming measures at Rome Street corner

Savannah Jobe, a resident of 100 Rome Street, told the City of Temple council that drivers repeatedly fail to stop at the corner where her house sits, striking mailboxes and creating a safety hazard for local children. “On any given day, our children are using the sidewalk riding bicycles or scooters or even just walking,” Jobe said, describing multiple incidents and a police report filed after a mailbox was hit on Sept. 28.
