AN UPDATE IS POSTED AT "ALBEMARLE ACTIVISM BRINGS SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Danger lurks around every corner on the five-block stretch of Albemarle Road between Ocean Parkway and McDonald Avenue. Drivers turn off Ocean Parkway and McDonald Avenue and proceed down Albemarle at speeds that justifiably worry and anger residents. Cars breeze through stop signs on the side streets to turn onto or cross Albemarle.
Too many drivers are in too much of a hurry. They're a menace to other drivers, pedestrians of all ages and abilities, and cyclists. Neighbors have been trying to get relief from this bad situation for years--something has to be done to end it.
You can help by filling out the Albemarle Road Safety Survey (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JSJMNDB). It should take just a minute or two to fill out.
Point out the intersections you've seen problems at (from Ocean Parkway to Dahill Road). Suggest solutions (installing or enhancing crosswalks; speed humps; stop signs; traffic lights; speed enforcement; other methods of slowing car speeds, such as narrowing travel lanes and extending curbs; and other).
Public safety and traffic-calming are popular Internet topics. You'll have a lot of websites to choose from if you'd like to read about the different solutions before you fill out the survey.
Thanks to Michael K. for the tip.
