Angry at speed bumps, signs, driver will be blowing his horn I am writing this letter [about residents on Golfview Drive] out of extreme frustration. My wife and I have lived in the Kedron area since 1994. During this time we have admired your neighborhood so much. It reminded us of a neighborhood we lived in Raleigh, N.C. I felt proud of showing off your neighborhood to our out-of-town visitors. Today I feel very different about you. Initially when the first stop signs went up, I was shocked to see it. I wondered what had happened to cause such a radical solution to your problem. I did nothing but shake my head and obeyed the law as I drove through your street. Then when more stop signs and higher speed bumps were added, I got angry. Historically, once a stop sign or speed limit is placed in an area, it is very difficult to have it changed back to what it was before. I must protest now or else endure this harassment forever or even more to my horror you add even more obstacles to your street. I know all this is to discourage me from using your street. I know I have a choice, but the choice is to either drive Golfview Drive or to drive almost two miles farther. I will from this day forward show my anger by joining the other protesters in blowing my horn as long as I am traveling your street. I will do this at whatever time of day or night it happens to be. And I will do this until you come to your senses. Please stop and look at the appearance of your neighborhood now. With all the public decorations (signs, flags, speed bumps, painted stripes and extra stop signs), your neighborhood looks gaudy and not like the beautiful neighborhood it once was. Today when my out-of-town visitors arrive, I will be blowing and driving through your neighborhood to show them where the self-centered people live! There has got to be a better solution! Just think what Peachtree City would be like if we all chose your remedy. Larry Bowers Peachtree City
