In response to the accident on Saturday September 3 @ 12:30 p.m. It would be nice if the town could do something about slowing down all the speeders on Whipple road. It is getting crazy how fast cars,trucks and motorcyles fly down this residential road. With no sidewalks it is very dangerous to walk down this road at any hour. I never see any police on this road, they are always just sitting at the Heath Brook school. Some police presence may help the situation.

I do see police presence on Whipple. They usually sit near Pleasant and Whipple, and at the intersection of Whipple and Chandler. On occassion, I see them near Whipple and Avon.
