SLOW DOWN! End the traffic madness going through Aspen Hills

If a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle the odds of death at 20mph is 5%. At 30mph it increases 800% and at 40mph it increases 1,600% to nearly 85% fatality.

The speed limit on Aspen Hills and Cozy is 25mph. Empirical evidence quickly determines that many people travel at a speed higher than the posted legal limit. Radar gun detection in a previous informal study has proven that the average speed is 31mph.

We live here! We have children or neighbors with children who must be kept safe. The city has the RESPONSIBILITY to act and reduce the speeds in our neighborhoods.

We have attended City Council meetings, written our representatives, met with unelected city officials to no avail.
