Good evening and thank you for taking the time reading this.

Over the 10 years I have lived in Newnan, the excessive speeding that occurs on Atkinson Street, as well as, Elm Street needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt or killed. We have been extremely lucky so far, but there have been some close calls in the past several weeks and would love to be as proactive on this as possible.

My last request was made back in approximately March 2021 with the solution that the city and city managers’ office came up with was going to be an installation of a speed sign displaying drivers’ speed as they past the sign, however, the sign did not record any particular data except high speeds during random times.

The pole was installed again for the second time; however, the tornado hit that evening and the city had other issues to address.

This time it is every type of vehicle traffic that is excessively speeding, no enforcement from NPD, however, the non-emergency line has been contacted on numerous occasions.

Again, I ask the city of Newnan to place a camera, police officer, speed bump - really anything to slow traffic down. This is to prevent what could happen, which we do not want to happen.
