I am writing in regards to West 2nd street here in Elk City. There are t-ball-baseball fields across from the three homes on this street, one of which are mine. I watched kids out on the field playing ball and the younger kids playing games on the fence line. Many times running into the street to get their ball or toy all while people speed down this road with complete disregard. The speed limit sign says 20 mph, when turning in off of Western Drive and that is highly ignored. I am needing to know who I need to get a hold of to add speed bumps here. Just like Eckley Park has them all around so should this place here. They are needed on this street to slow people down before a child gets ran over. I am willing to do whatever it takes to get this done. Myself and all neighbors are in agreeance and I am sure all parents of the children who play here. If you are willing to sign a petition for this please let me know. Kids aren’t safe on this street with the way people drive in complete disregard.
I have spent this week contacting the local traffic department to request an official safety assessment for West 2nd Street. Our combined efforts have drawn significant attention to the risks posed to the children playing near the fields. I will provide an update as soon as I receive a formal response regarding the proposed installations.

The momentum behind this request for traffic calming measures has surpassed my initial expectations. It is encouraging to see that so many residents agree that public safety near the ball fields must be our priority.

I too have seen this and the disregard lots of drivers have had in the area. One child hit is one to many.

I agree that if there is going to be a play area for children then the speed limit should be enforced and speed bumps would help with enforcing the speed limit law!
