Residents demand urgent action to curb dangerous traffic chaos
During a recent government meeting, community concerns regarding increasing traffic hazards were prominently discussed. Residents highlighted alarming trends on Franklin Road and Woodward Avenue, where traffic violations, including the disregard for stop lights and signs, have surged. This uptick in reckless driving has raised safety concerns for both pedestrians and vehicles in the area.

Local residents reported a notable increase in noise pollution from vehicles, particularly since the introduction of a new transportation service, which they believe has exacerbated the situation. The community is calling for enhanced law enforcement presence, specifically requesting that the sheriff's department intensify speed limit monitoring on Woodward Avenue and Franklin Road.

Residents urged officials to incorporate these safety measures into the sheriff's upcoming contract, emphasizing the need for immediate action to protect the neighborhood from escalating traffic-related dangers. The meeting underscored the urgency of addressing these issues to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
