Caddington Speeding Update

By Leon Peace

The NFCCA approved a proposal in June requesting appropriate action to begin the process to install traffic calming measures on Caddington Avenue.  Discussion focused on the concern that a traffic study should best be done during the school year to more accurately measure the traffic levels.  The previous letter from the Traffic Committee Chairman was returned by the county with the notation that the request should originate from the community association.

Caddington Avenue neighbors report speeds of up to 65 m.p.h. on the street, which posts a speed limit of 25 miles per hour.  Speeders reportedly have ignored stopped school buses, killed family pets and wildlife, and generated loud tire and engine noises.

The next steps call for the county to conduct a traffic study.  Your input and participation is sorely needed.  Please contact Leon Peace at [contact details redacted].   ■
