From:Jennifer Rhoads <br />To:Adam Edwards <br />Subject:Speed limit on Willow Drive <br />Date:Friday, January 11, 2019 1:33:48 PM <br />Adam, <br />I received your letter in the mail requesting input from the neighbors in the area where you are considering a <br />reduction in speed on Willow Dr. Thank you for reaching out for input. <br />I live on Glendale Cove Ln and in order to reach Hackberry Park we need to cross over Willow Drive. <br />Unfortunately, there is a slight hill in the road between Glendale Cove Lane and the fire station which makes cars <br />not visible to us for a moment before we cross the road. As an adult I know to watch for the car to go into the blind <br />spot, but our children do not fully understand this (and are shorter so canny see the cars well before they drive into <br />the blind spot). Now that my children are riding their own bikes, we tend to go to Holbrook Park instead of <br />Hackberry because we do not have to cross over Willow Drive. <br />In addition when drivers are heading south on Willow and pass the fire station they can see the 40 mph speed limit <br />sign in front of them and I believe they immediately start to pick up the speed. This means they are often going 40 <br />mph before they even reach Glendale Cove Ln where we are trying to cross the street to go to the park. <br />Reducing the speed limit to 30 mph would help me feel more comfortable crossing over Willow Drive with my <br />children. <br />If you have any questions on my comments please feel free to reach out. My cell is 419-344-7604. <br />Thank you, <br />Jennifer Rhoads
