Summary
A 14-year-old girl was struck by a car at Hudson and Maple, and neighbors say drivers routinely blow through the four-way stop. The city is increasing enforcement (including drone-assisted details), considering a no-parking zone on Montrose, and hiring a traffic engineer for a dedicated study — but residents want immediate traffic calming like flashing stop signs or speed humps.
