During a recent government meeting, community concerns regarding traffic safety on Montgomery Road were prominently discussed. A resident urged officials to evaluate Montgomery Road using the same criteria applied to Colgate Road, which has seen significant improvements due to similar issues. The resident highlighted that Colgate Road, which experiences 200 fewer vehicles daily, has benefitted from the installation of speed bumps that have created a quieter neighborhood environment.

The speaker emphasized the dangers posed by high-speed traffic on Montgomery Road, where vehicles have been recorded traveling at speeds of 50 to 55 miles per hour in a residential area. This situation is particularly concerning given the presence of an elderly pedestrian and the proximity of Glenwood Elementary School, where students frequently navigate traffic.

Acknowledging the challenges, the resident expressed gratitude for the efforts of local officials, specifically mentioning the helpfulness of staff members Bradley and Mr. Mashinko, who provided a comprehensive report on the matter. The resident called for measures to slow down traffic on Montgomery Road, suggesting that the community's safety should be a priority.

In response, staff noted that the issues raised were similar to those that led to the installation of speed humps on Colgate Road, which had been affected by traffic diversion from Montgomery Road. The discussion reflects ongoing efforts to address traffic safety concerns in residential neighborhoods and the importance of community input in shaping local infrastructure decisions.
