Residents and officials say 2017–2023 crash data understates current conditions; ask for new counts
Summary
Speakers pressed the presenter to update or augment crash data and conduct traffic counts during the school year, arguing that COVID-era data and recent increases since 2022 undercount current crash frequency and traffic patterns.
The presenter confirmed the crash dataset used in the display covers 2017–2023. Multiple residents and the Bradford fire chief said that COVID-era declines and more recent traffic growth mean the existing range likely understates current crash frequency and that counts during typical school sessions are needed.
Resident Chris Patel urged counts during the school year and reactivation of a flashing crosswalk at the post office, while Brian Al and others noted crash increases since 2022. “They clocked this person going 92 miles an hour on 1 14 in front of my house,” Patel said to illustrate extreme speeding observed locally and to press for up-to-date sampling.
