Ms. Schmitt said she is concerned when backing out of her driveway and shoveling the driveway. The photos submitted showed a December 3, 2025 incident where a vehicle struck her mailbox. She would like to know the process for getting a stop sign in that area. If not a stop sign, can something be done to slow traffic down like a speed bump or other “slow down” signage.
