Make Valley Avenue Safer – Take Action Now

I have a 5 yr old granddaughter and I’m worried about her safety

I’m from the Birmingham area and the safety of the community is important to me. Too many incidents occur in this particular location.

Police, local politicians, and city planners have long been aware of this issue. The number of people on their phones and/or speeding while I try to pull out forward from my parking spot onto Valley is incredible. Speed bumps, stop signs, lower speed limits, etc would at least show there is an attempt to fix this issue of preventing property damage and bodily harm. On top of this, there a many children that live in the area, making this issue even more important to address.

I live in the townhomes off valley avenue and have a daughter and it scares me every time I leave home worried someone’s gonna hit me. People fly through there every day.

My daughter lives in one of the condos on valley ave. It’s very dangerous to back into traffic that often times you can not even see when she leaves for college. Any measures that the city can take alleviate safety concerns on this busy road will be greatly appreciated.

This is a serious situation

Last year there was an accident and 4 parked cars were hit. It’s very dangerous to get out of the parking lot

Our daughter lives in this area and we visit often. My husband is 73 and I’m 66. It definitely causes anxiety for me (on arrival & departure) to park on Valley Avenue. No one likes speed bumps BUT they do alleviate speeding, which is a major problem on this busy road.

It's an accident waiting to happen. That's in addition to the many accidents that have already happened.

On April 26, 2025, a driver came barreling through Valley Ave, hitting 6 parked vehicles in the middle of the night. My car was one of them and was totaled.

This would be highly beneficial not only for the residents of Valley Ave, but also for any drivers that use Valley Ave for transit. People speed far too often on our road, making backing out of parking spots a very risky task, and cars use the middle turn lane to pass which is extremely dangerous.

PLEASE!

Reform is in order.

I live in the townhomes on valley Ave. I have been here less than a month and have already had my car hit while parked and the other car hit the condo next to mine. There has to be changes made to help increase safety.

Speed Bumps Now!

Please do something for all our safety

My family owns a condo where a woman crashed through the wall a few feet from where my son was sitting. Recently, someone crashed into a condo in the next building. This must be taken seriously.

Big Ole speed bumps

Every time I hear a noise I jump up and look out the window. We need a change.

Lived on Valley for 7 years-this has been a constant issue and one largely ignored by the city of Homewood. All residents of Homewood deserve the same attention and care, not just the ones in overpriced, single family homes!
