Dear Sir,
I would like to request placement of a "Slow Down, Children At Play" or similar
sign on my street. I feel there is need for such a sign given the speed many motorists
drive on Jordan Springs Road, I hope to be opening an in home day care center in
January, and there are many families with children living here. Please let me know if!
can provide you with more information regarding this request or if there is anything else I
need to do.
Thank you.
