Belle Haven 2nd Class Citizens When It Comes To Traffic

Original post made by whatever, Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park, on Jun 20, 2018

The city council gives a few signs to Belle Haven for major traffic problem but the "wealthier" folks on North Lemon where houses sell for $3-6 million get three speed bumps on one block to make their street less attractive to cut through traffic.

Editor, why no story about the cut-thru traffic problems in Bell Haven and the City response. The Daily Post had a front page story.

"folks on North Lemon ... get three speed bumps on one block"

Do you know why lemon has speed bums and Belle Haven doesn't?

Lemon residents petitioned for speed bumps.

Have you?

Every town/city I've lived has had a similar/comparable policy: speed bumps can be installed on a road provided all residents on the petitioning block agree to speed bumps. I suspect Menlo Park is the same.

Asking/demanding speed bumps isn't enough. Have you done the work to gather a petition for speed bumps in Belle Haven?

If you haven't...well then that is likely the reason why you don't have e speed bumps and lemon does.

Lemon residents did the work and you haven't.

Here's information on how to petition Menlo Park for addressing traffic issues, including speed bumps : Web Link

It took me about 30 seconds to do a Google search and find the document above.
