Despite the posted 25 MPH speed limit on Harbor Light Blvd, many residential and commercial vehicles have been clocked doing upwards of 65 MPH on this street. Harbor Light, like may in the Peninsula, is heavily populated with children. In fact, one of our only playgrounds is a few feet off this road.
As a result of numerous complaints, Jim Duke has asked Bench Hoyle, the Cornelius Police Chief, to step up enforcement of speeders in this area. Chief Boyle responded:
“Absolutely. I’ll get that on our the traffic unit list. I would definitely encourage to you tell residents we are going to be doing enforcement there. The goal of course is to slow people down, not cost people money, so if we can get the word out that’s great. We will still have the commercial traffic to focus on if everybody else slows down.”
So SLOW DOWN everybody, children are playing. The Cornelius PD will be patrolling and monitoring Harbor Light Blvd due to a resident complaint about speeding.
