Hill, curves, on-street parking make driving on Parrott Dr. dangerous.

Speed limit signs will do nothing. Do not waste government money on them. Should install speed humps instead.

Sent information on speed hump program. Streets with 30 mph speed limit don’t qualify for speed humps.

Agree with speed limit reduction. Please also reduce on-street parking or widen road.

The width of Parrott Dr varies between 33 and 34 feet. We may consider limited parking on one side of the street.

Objects to speed limit reduction. This is just a way to give more tickets and get more money. Cars aren’t built to go so slow. How can a few people decide the speed limit? Will it make a difference in speeds? The street is safe enough.

25 mph is the typical speed limit for a residential street.
