Resident urges action as speeding rises on Trudy Lane and nearby streets
Summary
A Universal City resident reported increasing speeding on Trudy Lane and asked the council to take action; council acknowledged concerns and said staff and police are monitoring the area.
A Universal City resident raised safety concerns about rising vehicle speeds on Trudy Lane during public comment at the April 15 council meeting, urging additional enforcement and traffic-calming measures.
Richard Edwards said he has observed more vehicles traveling at higher speeds — sometimes well above 35 mph — on Trudy Lane where there are no sidewalks and pedestrians use the street. He said squad-car presence has increased but that one-time enforcement may not solve the problem. Edwards suggested targeted enforcement (radar, pull-overs) and community awareness, and said residents sometimes confront drivers.
Mayor Tom Maxwell acknowledged the concern and councilmembers said the city is discussing the issue; one councilmember suggested increased enforcement or targeted patrols and using driveway-based contact to issue warnings. Council did not take further formal action at the meeting but indicated staff and police are aware of the complaint and will consider enforcement and traffic-calming options.
