Your Safety

Speed Limit 14.5 MPHImage by richardmasoner via Flickr

2 weeks after opening  Barry Speedway, KCMO officials are still dragging their feet on addressing a problem brought to their attention at the Barricade Removal Event...the 25MPH speed limit.  Besides the Funk's assertion that it would be taken care of in his comments to a WL citizen after the Event, at least two folks have written emails to officials requesting relief...to no avail.

Spokesman Sean Demory denies KCMO has set up a speedtrap (hmmm, what was that last Sat/Sun) and that the current speed limit was for "safety".  Understandable during the construction day, but evenings or weekends?  Even our "country road", the predecessor BRB, had a higher speed limit.  Also noted to KCMO was the absolute goofy transition from old roadway to new near Potomac...beware, anything more than 10MPH might cause you to bottom out your vehicle...kaalunk!

It is all part of the payback

Our activists made an issue of safety forcing KCMOs response.

Our elected officials irrelevant.

Get over it

Life is good in Hooterville

THe 25 MPH speed limit is appropriate during the day as construction is occurring. The last thing we need is a race track mentality on Barry while there is no center turn lane. People need to slow down. Plain and simple.
