We are requesting the City of Ofallon to replace the speed dips along the major roads in Countyshire Subdivision. The dips in place limit the accessibility to the neighborhood to:
*Handicapped accessible vehicles with an undercarriage lift system.
*Vehicles with low ground clearance.
*Vehicles with long front or rear overhangs.
Acceptable replacements could include:
*Any dip under 2 " in depth.
*Rumble Strips, transverse or converse.
*Botts dots.
*Speed cushion.
*Speed table.
We also are petitioning the City of Ofallon to move the signage 10 feet before said speed deterrent.

Clearly you're not familiar with the family that started this petition as they do live here. I can guarantee she is not the one driving 40-50mph down this road as she has a disabled child in the car with her that's wheelchair bound. Please stop the negativity until you know all the facts.
I support this petition for the following reasons: 1.) The dips were both poorly designed and constructed which ultimately will result in vehicular damage to lower profiled cars resulting in unnecessary expense to the owner of the vehicle for repairs that could've been avoided. 2.) The dips clearly violate the capability of allowing a vehicle designed to transport disabled passengers to on public roads without damage to these costly vehicles and forcing drivers to take alternative routes which in the event of an emergency could be a matter of life or death.
Yeah, if the weren't friendly.....They wouldn't be there. It's not a problem, I have a buddy that works for Wentzville Fire... He gets rotated to station four often. They have more issues with getting through gated communities... Dips? Come on
This is bogus as there are multiple entrances off Highway N for people to come and go without having to traverse the dips. Also, those dips are there now. There was plenty of time for people to address their concerns. This site needs a button to stop the petition...or vote against it.
Those who are signing this petition.. Let's get real ...You don't really care about emergency responders and handicap vans getting over dips ....It's all about YOU! You don't care about child safety... All you care about is how quick you can get to Sommers Rd or Hwy N.. Without having to brake...Greed ! I call it like I see it .
When you use words like violate and emergency please have some facts or data to back up your statement ...Show me those costly repair bills... The only thing in violation is the guy doing 40 miles an hour down country Chase .
As a former Fire/ Ems dispatcher.... I can tell you that the dips, do not effect arrival time to an on scene incident. There are many other subdivisions and communities that have dips or some speed control mechanism.. It's never been a problem . Communications, weather and traffic are more of a problem for first responders getting on scene in a timely manner.

Since they started this I felt this was a poorly designed way to reduce speed in the subdivision. I do care about the kiddos running around and their safety but no matter how slow you are going, the dips are way too deep and at some point will result in damage to a vehicle.
