Residents demand urgent action to address dangerous traffic issues
Residents of the Pheasant Run neighborhood voiced significant concerns regarding traffic safety during a recent government meeting. The discussions highlighted issues stemming from increased traffic in residential areas, particularly around Cherrywood and Apple Blossom, which back up to an office park.

One resident noted that employees from the office park contribute to the heavy traffic, often failing to stop at intersections, leading to dangerous conditions for local residents. The speaker humorously remarked on the lack of adherence to traffic rules, likening it to driving in New Jersey, and emphasized the risks posed by vehicles navigating the area without regard for pedestrians and cyclists.

Another resident, Matt Scattero, raised alarms about visibility issues at the intersection of Pointer Ridge Drive and Rabbit Road. He described a troubling situation where drivers often overlook oncoming traffic, creating a hazardous environment. Scattero pointed out that Rabbit Road has become a focal point for safety concerns, with reports of vehicles speeding through stop signs and even launching off speed bumps.

The meeting underscored a growing urgency among residents for traffic enforcement and potential changes to improve safety in their neighborhoods. The community's call for action reflects a broader concern for the well-being of families and individuals navigating these increasingly perilous streets.
