I noticed Broadmoor has a sign that says that it is approved for traffic calming or quietening.

Mike taking a lesson from ol' David and going to try and close that street to just the residents.

No, adding speed bumps, narrowing and a roundabout.

I think slowing may be a good idea but think it could have been accomplished by adding stop signs on Broadmoor at Peterson Way making it a three way stop and stop signs at Rustling Oaks making it a four way stop. And saved a ton of money and time. So much money for this project! Would be better spent on improving the park or even better, fix the sidewalks so they are ADA compliant all the way to 29th street. The wheelchair people from the retirement home ride in the street from 29th street to Rustling Oaks because the sidewalks are broken.

And I would not be happy if I was having a roundabout installed in my front yard!

Those signs have been there since August and maybe even before. I suspect they were placed there when Blinn finished the next exit on Villa Maria that forces traffic to turn right towards that area. The easiest way to get back to 6 is to cut through that neighborhood.

I'd personally like to see streets like that drop to 25 or 20 mph. There is no need for 30 mph in a residential area.

But that's just my opinion.

It's a major collector road and connects a number of smaller subdivisions together. I don't understand people who willingly buy houses on wide roads that connect areas together and expect that they should be entitled to traffic speeds equivalent to a cul-de-sac.

Some of those people probably bought their homes before Broadmoor was opened to through traffic. It used to dead end.

Not an excuse. The only way I could see why you could be legitimately upset is if all the criteria were met:
1. You are on Broadmoor east of 29th.
2. The house was obtained before 2008, which is when Broadmoor connected to Nash, but after 2005, when the road had extended by 800 feet to add three new cul-de-sac streets.
3. The speed limit had not previously been 30 mph before 2008.
4. Your realtor had mislead you about Broadmoor (the road was never terminated as a cul-de-sac, it was always designed for expansion).
