The following 2 posts were on the Facebook site, but I know several people don't have Facebook, so I decided to add them here as well.
I am amazed at the number of people who fly down Nelliefield Creek Dr. We have 10 kids just in the small section that I am in and they love playing outside. As much as you teach a child to not run in the road after a ball they still do. As adult (we are the ones with our foot on the gas pedel) we have to take responsibility here. Please urge everyone to be intentional about their speed in our neighborhood.

You bring up a excellent point and thank you for doing so. I too am very concerned with the speeding down the main road. I have two boys under the age of 6 and I'm scared for them to play in the front yard most of the time. While the speed limit in the area says 25 we should all be aware that if a child were to run out in front of you going that speed, it would be very hard to come to a complete stop. I'm just asking everyone to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be cautious while driving down a street where so many children play.

You are so correct in that certain residents are going WAY too fast down Nelliefield Creek Drive often playing loud music.
I know it is easy to pick up speed along the long road. We have caught ourselves going too fast and not even realizing it. Now, we make a concerted effort to go 15mph all the way home. Everyone should try this especially on their way home when children would be home from school and outside playing.
