The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
I would like to see speed bumps put up on Welles Ave between Talbot Ave and Washington Street. The street is wide and open and people drive down it at 40 miles an hour. This is a huge safety concern for neighbors.
Who it helps and why
Speed bumps would keep everyone safer.
