Yes, uh good evening, thank you, City Council, for giving me an opportunity to ask you today. I'm here on behalf of one uh bench for uh neighborhood. I live at 13957 Southwest Mistletoe Drive. I've been here before. I'm pleading with the City Council to take action against the extreme traffic problem we're experiencing in our neighborhood. It's beyond anything you all imagine it to be. We have people driving through a 20-mile an hour speed zone at 50 and 60 miles an hour. Someone's going to get hurt. I was here several months ago. I've been told that traffic calming surveys are going to be done. I was promised that the police department would step up the traffic patrol, temporary signage would be placed. I'm unfortunately here to report that very little is actually been done from my observation. I'm asking you to please prioritize our neighborhood.
