Deering Road is a major cut through between I-75 and West Midtown and Midtown/South Buckhead that cuts through the Loring Heights Residential Neighborhood. Excessive speeding is experienced on a daily level by residents living along Deering, walking along the sidewalk and attempting to cross the busy collector street to experience the activities we have on both sides of Deering Road. We request that the Atlanta Police Department consider setting up consistent, continuous and frequent speed enforcement at the bottom of the "Deering Hill" - approximate locations being Steele and Deering and Hascall and Deering, to enforce the 30 mile an hour speed limit to promote safety within the Loring Heights Neighborhood. We also request that our Councilperson, Yolanda Adrean, as well as the three at-large Councipersons as well as the Mayor's office support this through direct contact with the APD.

I have sent the petition data and our specific location requests to Councilmember Adrean and the Mayor's office. We are currently waiting for a formal response regarding the requested patrol schedule for the bottom of Deering Hill.

THEY ALSO NEED TO PATROL HALFWAY DOWN HASCALL FOR THE PEOPLE AVOID THE DEERING STOP SIGN AND REDICULOISLY SPEEDING DOWN HASCALL. This neighborhood has a serious issue for people walking their kids, dogs or just walking. I hope we all can come together and resolve this soon.

Lower part of Hascall is a big issue for the people to use instead of stopping on the stop sign on deering. Great neighborhood but this speeding issue is a major concern. How do we stop it...?

I almost got clipped yesterday trying to walk my dog. People fly down this hill like they are on a racetrack. Need speed bumps or real police presence pronto.

Agree with everyone here. The noise and the speed are just getting worse. It used to be a quiet street but now I cant even pull out of my own driveway.

ITS SO DANGEROUS. I have kids and I am terrified to let them walk to the park alone. Do something before someone gets hurt.

people use deering to skip the traffic lights on northside and they dont care about the 30mph limit. need more than just a sign out there.
