However, it would be nice to see them writing tickets in neighborhoods and on smaller streets. I see them most mornings enforcing the school zone in front of Austin Elementary, which is very "high profile". School zones already have many mechanisms encouraging drivers to slow down. Meanwhile, lots of drivers speed through Village Mill at least 10-15 over.<br /><br />Perhaps Dunwoody residents are afraid of being "bit by their own dog", so to speak. However, it is not really sensible to demand speed enforcement on through roads and ignore the streets where citizens live. I think aggressive enforcement of residential speed limits is key to having a safer community.Brian Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388548951301223476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-67523510824468846472009-05-22T07:35:01.791-04:002009-05-22T07:35:01.791-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.DunwoodyTalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13830017380253003870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-9539910756517746522009-05-22T04:33:18.618-04:002009-05-22T04:33:18.618-04:00I was disappointed by the Crier's choice of words....I was disappointed by the Crier's choice of words. While I understand the child made the tragic decision not to use the crosswalk, it's tasteless of the paper to say he "darted" into the street, particularly given there were no eyewitnesses.<br /><br />There are two victims here -- the driver who has to live with the "woulda coulda shoulda" and the child who has to grow up with the injuries. But let's all give each other the benefit of the doubt, and just do our parts to avoid these kinds of accidents (and worse) in the future.CeeCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445807453642561739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-64928708480295575212009-05-21T14:25:51.400-04:002009-05-21T14:25:51.400-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.DunwoodyTalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13830017380253003870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-60795202537140610032009-05-21T14:18:03.623-04:002009-05-21T14:18:03.623-04:00Judi

Does the person that hit him realize that they have changed his life forever? He is currently still at Scottish-Rite and has a very long recovery. I hope the driver was punished SEVERELY! I am so angry about this happening I can't even express the words.

Come on, how hard is it to not drive too much over the speed limit? I went to DHS in the early 90's and there use to be a Dekalb motorcycle cop that sat down by open campus and pick off students one by one coming down towards the college. I just have it engraved in my brain not to speed around Dunwoody and so far have not been late to anything nor missed any event! In full disclosure, I must admit in hs I did get a speeding ticket on Peeler b/t NPtree and Cham-Dun.Worth Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417019578133489221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-31025106103906592622009-05-21T07:19:37.056-04:002009-05-21T07:19:37.056-04:00Amen, John!!!
