Average speed on residential roads is not the problem
Dear Editor:
What a useless article. It says that it would cost $1.6 million to lower the speed limit but doesn’t say what it is that costs that much. Then it says that one speed bump would cost $7,500 but doesn’t say how many will be installed. After reading the article the reader knows nothing about the plan. Also it says that, on average, people drive within 10 mph of the 30 mph range. The problem is the people who drive way over the 30 mph limit, not the average of all drivers together. At the end of the article, council member Nick Klufas makes a comment linking lower speed limits to increased pollution. This is totally ridiculous! If the Observer wants to be taken seriously as a real newspaper, it needs to ask questions when government leaders make statements, not just print the jibberish that is spewed out.
