Southwest Lansing (MI) and my neighborhood

What about the increased traffic on Averill, Malibu, Continental and Deerfield?

Capt. Szymanski, thanks again for the wonderful support from LPD!!!!

Here are some things that came up later in the meeting that I needed to pass along:

PROBLEM: Speeding (and extra traffic) along Averill, Malibu, Continental, & Deerfield because of the Holmes/Waverly road closure

REQUEST: Can you enhance patrols of this area and issue tickets?Video 26 0 00 14-03

I’ve also made these requests of Andy Kilpatrick ( city transportation engineer) which will hopefully also help:

  • Add temporary stop signs to interior intersections to prevent a “straight shot” through the neighborhood.
  • Add temporary speed bumps to help slow the traffic
  • Bring the mobile traffic speed monitors into the neighborhood
  • Add permanent speed limit signs on Averill by the elementary school (One of our youth residents noticed that we have no speed limit signs anywhere in our neighborhood and that would be helpful even after Holmes and Waverly are re-opened)

    Still want to know why the Benero Administration will not approve putting the temporary speed bumps in!! They are very badly needed on Continental Drive!

    Thank you to LPD, they seemed to have bumped up patrol of the area!
