Despite a brief respite, speeding still remains an issue on roadways in Franklin Township.
Resident Larry Williams expressed concerns to the board on Tuesday about police and traffic.
“Last month I said I thought it was getting better,” Williams said. “It’s not getting any better.”
Williams said that while much of the speeding occurs around 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., “it’s different times.”
Supervisor Robin Cressley said he had hoped the township was making progress on that front.
“I thought I’d see better numbers on the reports,” Cressley said. “We’ll have to talk to Chief (Jason) Doll again.”
Board Chairman Jason Frey concurred.
“It definitely sounds like a lot more needs to be done,” Frey said.
Last month, several residents, including Williams, addressed the board about the matter of speeding.
Doll, who attended that meeting, said at that time police have been making the best with what they have to work with, which is Vascar.
Williams said at that time he’d noticed a difference since September’s meeting.
Doll said at that time any residents who observe speeding or any other issues should come to the township police station with their concerns.
In September, the board suggested using the township’s electronic speed control sign that may help slow people down a bit.
The main roads the township has been getting complaints about speeding on are Reber Street, Long Run Road, Indian Hill, Canal Street and Main Road.
