SLOW DOWN IN TOWN!

I am still grieving the death of Sadie and didn't sleep much last night. This morning I sent off an email to our local city office. I pray that something can be done about the speeding vehicles that whiz by my home every day.

Dear City,

In the past eight years we have lived in our home; our house, garage door,

vehicle, and now our beloved family pet have all been victims of speeding

vehicles down the ----- Street hill. The speed limit is clearly posted, as

is a fake (I am assuming) sign saying radar patrolled. Late yesterday

afternoon a large speeding gravel truck struck my dog and killed her. I

believe the truck was speeding and I am thanking the Lord that no children

were trying to cross the corner of ----- and ------ because it was about

after school time and a dozen kids and bicycles use that intersection to get

home. I myself have two children who know not to go near the road, still I

fear for their life when we are working in the garage or the driveway. At

this time I cannot change my driveway but I can ask you to enforce the

speed limit better. Too many children and people use our streets to get from

one place to another, it would be a sad day if a speeding car, truck or semi

trailer met with one. Please let me know how I can help you get the word out

that we have to slow down in town.

Thank you for your time,
