Traffic Concern
We are asking that our families not drive on our neighboring streets, Gribbel and Mulford Roads. Our neighbors on these streets have communicated to us that they are experiencing a heavy rate of traffic at unsafe speeds. They have notified the Cheltenham Police about the number of cars that disregard the 25 MPH speed limit.
Please help us be good neighbors by not driving on Gribbel and Mulford Roads. Thank you for your cooperation.
