Sharon...my my my. You seem to have issues with people just trying to make their neighborhoods a better place to live. Granted, I respect your opinion and see the merits in which you say them, although with about as much finesse as a bowling ball through a window and twisting my postings to your agenda. (BTW, what is your point?). I am not talking about Rt. 4, 235 or anywhere else besides the CRE gate.

I dont live right on the gate entrance but very close enough to hear these people regularly and it wasn't a problem until recently. That's all I was saying. Merely trying to shed some light on a problem within my community as a concerned homeowner and attempting to help someone from getting hurt in the future. If that's complaining in your book, well then, so be it.

Then as a concerned homeowner go do something about it...let us know what & how it works out. Complaining here won't help. In the past I've had problems with speeders, inconsiderate drivers, and dogs running loose while I'm out walking my own dog. Most people comply if you talk to them nicely - others are hopeless, and I know to jump out of the way when I see 'em coming.

I'm not the one with an agenda, nor have I twisted any of your posts. Go back and read them yourself.

I respectfully disagree. Try the front gate's 3 way stop if youwant to see rudeness to the max. Speaking of worlds records, count the number of drivers that don't even slow up for the stop sign from CRC to RT 760. CRC has more than it's share of lousy, rude drivers. Notice for yourself how quick the centerline paint is worn off especially on the corners.

You can join up with SC to fix the problem. Good luck.

Here's where you can start. Join a committee, we have quite a few and they are always looking for volunteers. Try the Neighborhood Watch Com. and see if they are willing to help, if not - seek like minded neighbors and start a traffic control committee and go from there.
