The current speed limit is fifty miles per hour. I am requesting that it <br />be lowered to thirty five miles per hour. <br />I have farmed along that portion of Thrall Road for a period of over forty years. As <br />the population has increased and more citizens have moved to the Badger Pocket <br />area the number of vehicles have greatly increased. The orchard business has also <br />had the effect of increasing the number of vehicles that travel that stretch of Thrall <br />Road. <br />In the last few years there have been several accidents in the area next to my <br />property. Most have been vehicles traveling at excessive speeds and distractive <br />driving behavior that have caused them to depart from the roadway. <br />Operating farm equipment along that section of road has become very challenging, <br />and quite dangerous. <br />I am also requesting that a radar speed unit be placed for a reasonable length of <br />time along the East bound lane ofThrafl Road adacent to my farm shop building <br />just prior to the left curve in the roadway. I am attaching a depiction of the location. <br />Thank you in advance for your help in this matter. <br />Sincerely, / � <br />� � x 6-4 <br />Thomas Bull <br />
