1. Do you have a good location on your property where the Sheriff’s Office could set up its radar trailer to monitor vehicle speeds for a set period of time? If yes or maybe, please answer #5 below.

2. As one possible solution, would you support having posted speed limits on Skyline Blvd. or other major roads where there currently are none?

3. Do you think the neighborhood should consider raising funds to purchase its own radar unit (pole-mounted or hand-held) for traffic speed calming and monitoring?

4. Would you support the possible creation of an Enhanced Sheriff’s Patrol District for the Skyline area to increase patrols similar to one in Washington County?

5. Would you be willing to volunteer to help observe traffic on weekends, possibly using radar guns borrowed from the Sheriff’s Office? If yes, please print your name, phone and email so we may contact you:
