SCHOOL TRAFFIC PROBLEM AREA
The city council approved the installation of another speed table on Summer Lake Street, the fourth on that street notorious for school-rush cut-through traffic. The city's Street/Traffic Control committee had approved it at their last meeting as well.
Materials will be provided by the neighborhood HOA (cost about $7500) and installed by city personnel; the less attractive, smaller rubber bumps are usually installed at no charge by the city.
Councilman Martin lives in the neighborhood.

Comments
The culprit is us, the residents of Fairhope and those that live in the surrounding areas. It is the business owners, the city employees, the old and young. We all speed in our neighborhood and your neighborhood. We are the reason we don’t see kids on bikes in the neighborhoods or downtown. We know we drive like everyone else and it is dangerous for anyone else on the streets. So we are horrified if we let our kids ride on the streets.
