(check out Ash Drive next time you're in Sherwood -- they got the Champs D'Elysee of sidewalks last year). Jevon, I'll be pointing anyone who questions the wisdom of the Trafalgar sidewalk to your comment. I've heard the speeding complaints from residents there also and have noticed myself when picking up my son at kindergarten. Busy little road. Hopefully it won't intrude on anyone's yard too much and we can spare all the trees. It wouldn't hurt to narrow the road a bit to get the sidewalk in. I'm told narrower road = less speeding.

A sidewalk will help. Can you make it nice and wide and un-bumpy too? That stretch of Edinburgh is very busy. A sidewalk will help. Can you make it nice and wide and un-bumpy too?

There would usually be at least 100 kids (and in some years, it seemed to at least double) who would go north from the schools using Trafalgar, and there was constant traffic (foot and car) due to the church. Add on top of that that Tragalgar is straight and reasonably long, and wow -- cars would really speed down that street. I think the real reason that the community never really bugged council about it too much was that nobody wanted to lose the trees at the front of their lawn ;) I grew up on Trafalgar St, and I always wondered why there was no sidewalk.
