Adding a warehouse on Route 63 would be a further disaster.

By far not the only dangerous road that needs a speed reduction and enforcement.

This is a problem across the whole town. I often see people going double the speed limit on Route 188 by the Middlebury Public Library. I think more law enforcement is the best solution. These drivers ignore traffic laws because they think they can get away with it. We need to provide sufficient funding to the police department so that officers can be paid to conduct more traffic stops.

A crosswalk at Richardson Dr., crossing Rt. 63, is also needed for children walking to Memorial Middle School and for walkers accessing the greenway.

Something has to be done on straits turnpike. I have witnessed quite a few accidents there this year and it seems to be getting worse. Lower the speed limit and have more police in the area if at all possible.

The excessive speeds in our town are life threatening.

We used to live on straits turnpike near the 63/64 intersection I understand and wish you luck on lowering the speed limit.

Many Middlebury roads have become a danger for runners, walkers, and other vehicles due to excessive speeders!

Yale Ave. is a problem area; I've also feel that illegal obstructed tinted plates and illegal tinted windows should be addressed by enforcement.

I was just in that area a car on the opposite side passed out 4 cars going like a bat out of hell. If I or the cars behind me going the other way didn’t move to the right in the gutter we would have been in a head on collision

Living on rt 64. I’m no stranger to speeding cars. Vehicles going 60-65mph are the norm in front of my house. With a walking path right there. I had a tree at the end of my driveway until a car crashed into it. Speeding has only increased since Covid.

Very dangerous pulling out or turning into Anawan Ave. Cars and trucks are going way too fast.
