Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.

Well, realistically, you won't get speed bumps (they just don't do that on public streets) but youRead More might get a speed trap once in a while. I drive this road every weekday and am just as appalled as you are by the speeding. And let me tell you, it's not always youngsters. I've seen a few blue-haired old ladies ride my bumper on that street. We have a similar problem on Barn Hill, another long stretch of road where drivers feel the need for speed. What I can't figure out (with all due respect) is why anybody with half a brain would choose either of those streets for their morning or evening walk. That's just tempting fate.
