I would like to see speed bumps installed if possible due to the fact that there is constant speeding around the lake here on Short Rocks Rd which has been going on for years including people speeding around the corner here and ending up in my or my neighbors front yard.

I have lived on 18 Stone Gate Drive for 18 years with my family and I walk around the Supply Pond every week. I do not allow my child to bike around the Supply Pond for fear she will be run over by a car, and also fear for my safety as well as my dogs safety when we walk around the pond! Cars speed around the Supply Pond all the time and this area should be made safer by placing speed bumps to slow people down. This is a recreational area for runners, walkers, , bikers and dogs to enjoy with safety a top concern. Please make Branford safer!!!

This road is really a recreational road, not a throughway. Speed bumps would slow down traffic and save lives

Let me know if you need any help. My husband was hit by a speeding trail bike, so I know what it feels like when these cars or bikes are speeding .

Speed is often a problem on Short Rocks Rd. Speed bumps are a good idea.

We've needed this for years. It's not a matter of if. It's a matter of when there will be a horrible accident. I'm there 2x a day. I've seen too many close calls. And it's not just kids. Branford Parks and Open Space Commissioner John Tolbert

My kids run thru Supply Pond and need to get there via the roads. There are many tight turns and blind spots making it risky for the kids to get to the beautiful trails for practice. It is much safer for them to run on these trails and it is also better for their developing bodies to run on the soft trails. I have also observed children and adults fishing on the bridge and many cars make near misses with the turns. More speed control needs to be considered in this beautiful area of Branford.
