Our subdivision unfortunately

is used as a shortcut for the "after school" traffic wishing

to avoid the congested backup at the above-mentioned intersection; unfortunately

I have counted as many as 30 to 40 cars back to back speeding through

Gaelic Way to cut through to Ellison at the back entrance to the subdivision.

It is only a matter of time before a serious accident with another car

or possible accident involving a child occurs, but this is a subject for

another letter.

I and others in our subdivision

have felt for a while that some of the cut-through traffic could be alleviated

a right on to Ellison from Jenkins.

Another solution would be to

place a deputy at the intersection for approximately 30 minutes during

the peak flow of traffic from Sandy Creek High School to keep the traffic

from backing up on Jenkins.

This is a safety issue that

the county should deal with for all concerned the residents of Gaelic

Glen, drivers navigating Jenkins and Ellison, and our children.
