Gratz brown is within 100 feet or so of two schools with young children. Many young children live on this road and walk to school or bus stops. Frequent speeders on this straight road has been such a community issue residents have bought their own signs to warn speeders. We need speed bumps or a speed sign like on the outer road that shows the vehicles speeds. We need to do something before a child is seriously injured or killed. Its a great risk to the community!

Would love something to be initiated on Gratz Brown Street for the safety of our neighborhood, citizens, but mostly our children. We believe a speed trap like on Urbandale would work best. People go well over 50mph and will even pass people. It's just a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt or they hit a parked car. There are schools on this road, as well as the YMCA and a preschool close by, that this needs to be taken seriously. Something has got to give! Our front yards are not big enough to put in a sidewalk and there isn't really any areas for signs, but a speed trap on the curvy part of Gratz Brown would be great for everyone, especially our schools and students.
