Guest editorial: Calming Downtown Traffic There's a resurgence in Downtown Commerce. Let's don't let it die off for lack of attention to the biggest basic problem: Safety of Pedestrians. Amen, to the following guest editorial. -EW By Billy Joe Fudge Guest commentator I am so excited about the increased commercial and social activity, Downtown. To actually see folks meeting, eating, and congregating Downtown brings joy to my heart. Now it appears that activity is going to increase even more with Danny Reeves moving and expanding his business into the "old Firestone" building. Additionally, it seems that Ben Arnold is again making a sizeable investment in the Downtown economy and social scene with the remodeling of the Columbian Theatre and, by all appearances, the reopening of that historic venue. After having a Downtown almost devoid of commercial and social activity, especially after the 9 to 5 business day for several decades, I am sure that we are all ready to make a commitment to do our part toward making sure that there is an atmosphere conducive to continued growth and expansion. I want to encourage all our elected officials and all citizens in positions of authority or responsibility to make every effort to get the speed limit on the Square and a two block radius on all streets entering and exiting the Square lowered to 15 mph. At present it is either 35 or 25 depending upon which street speed limit signs you choose to go by. Of course at this present time, enforcement of current speed limits and attention to drivers who are being reckless and irresponsible are key to creating a safe, comfortable, and palatable atmosphere in our Downtown. Let us not wait for another accident causing injury or death to get serious about lowering the speed limits and enforcement of those limits to calm down the flow of traffic in our Downtown.
