Please, please, slow down!

Dear Editor:
I am a resident in the village and it just makes me sick to see how fast people drive through town.
There are many children that live on our streets, riding their bikes as well as walking (James and Ball streets). Don’t get me wrong, I do realize it is also the parent’s responsibility to watch their children, but it is also a learning process for the children (safety and such) I believe if you’re driving the posted speed, then you will have time to react if a child pulls out in front of you. The rate of speed I see some people go though would never allow that. School will soon be in session again, please slow down.
