We all would like for our children to be safe.  However, the homeowners on Old Oak Way between 162 St and 163 St need to stop monopolizing the road to ensure their children's safety.  The flourescent, plastic "safety kid" should not be put in the middle of the road, but at the edge.  In addition, these families need to stop using their cars, and the plastic kid, to obstruct traffic.  Also, it would be appreciated if the stares directed at motorist's who dare to use the road to access their homes would stop.

Seriously????  People come flying down this road at 30-40 mph all the time completely disregarding the speed limits in the neighborhood.  We will do whatever we can to slow everyone down and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.  You don't like it?  Go around.  Still have a problem with it?  Stop, get out of your car, and we can have a face to face conversation about it.  But don't post on this message board making us out to be the bad guys b/c we don't want our kids pancaked by disrespectful drivers.

Who can'tagree with you! Are the roads not made for motor vehicles? Beleive me, the next time I get a star I will be stopping.

Streets are paths that are shared with motor vehicles, bicycles, walkers and runners they were never intended exclusively for cars.

Ignorance seems to shine in this forum, let the kids play there is nothing wrong with fellow neighbors getting together with there kids and enjoying life, thats what makes a great neighborhood!

If it causes me to drive down another street so they can have fun and be safe so be it!

Lone Oak Parke attracted me to it because of the friendly neighborhood were kids played without the danger of being hit by cars, people were outside walking there dog, running or riding bicycles. Now I'm finding out that maybe it's not friendly. 

Maybe its time to move back to the old neighborhood were kids and familys were out everyday enjoying themselves in a non gated community.
