Residents urge increased enforcement and safety fixes in Quaker Hill
Summary
At the Jan. 12 meeting, residents asked the Board of Police Commissioners for more traffic enforcement in Quaker Hill, raised concerns about students running in roadways, glare from LED headlights and some residential lighting, and limited sight lines at Chapman and Vauxhall streets.
Two members of the public raised traffic and safety concerns at the Board of Police Commissioners meeting on Jan. 12.
Bill Sheehan, introduced to the commission as the Board of Finance liaison, briefly summarized his understanding of that role. Resident Helen Kwasniewski asked for increased police presence in the Quaker Hill neighborhood to address speeding, said college students sometimes run in the roadway, and reported that LED vehicle headlights and certain residential lighting create blinding glare at night. She also said sight lines are limited at the intersection of Chapman and Vauxhall streets and suggested the commission consider measures to improve safety.
The commission received the comments during the public input portion of the meeting; the record does not show an immediate formal response or an assigned follow‑up from the commission. No specific enforcement plan, schedule, or funding source was discussed during the meeting.
