Good luck, if successful we'll try for same on the east end of Hidden Cove Rd.

I'd love to reduce the commuter by-pass. Hidden Cove Rd. is particularly dangerous in the dark and would be well served by a similar measure.

Yes, it's unfortunate that cars are using the side roads to get past traffic backups but if this helps then I'm all for it.

I would like to see the speed limit dropped on the entire stretch of N. Madison. I live near the corner of N. Madison and Winther and it is ridiculous how fast people drive along the road.

It's already a dark street, as all are on the island, and reducing the speed limit will increase the safety dramatically

I am signing this petition as a concerned resident of Bainbridge Island with similar concerns for the Seabold area where we daily endure hundreds of cars speeding through our neighborhood to bypass traffic on 305

Speeding has been a problem on North Madison since we moved here, 25 years ago. But it has gotten dramatically worse in the past few years, as drivers use North Madison as a 305 bypass.

I lived in this neighborhood for years and lost several animals to speeding cars. Slowing down is a great idea!

If the speed limit is reduced to 25 m.p.h. and it isn't enforced then it doesn't matter. Just enforce the speed limit. 35 m.p.h. is adequate for the area. What IS NOT acceptable is pedestrians walking on the side of ANY darkly lit street with no reflective gear or lights.

This is an absolute "must" in my opinion. The speed of drivers on this stretch of road is far too fast to be considered safe for residents in the area. While it is a suburban area with houses abutting the street, it is often treated as a thoroughfare by drivers only trying to pass through the area at the highest speed possible.

I would love to see this happen on Sunrise too. There are way to many blind spots from the dips to be st 35 mph!

This neighborhood was historically quiet and at the end of the road. However, it has evolved into HW 305 East with drivers far exceeding speed limits. The neighborhood would appreciate your consideration in reducing and enforcing a lower speed limit. Thank you for your attention.

Thanks for supporting this change and ideally creating a safer and more family/pedestrian friendly atmosphere on North Madison.
