Bergeend Street in Birch Acres is an accident waiting to happen.
We received approval from the council for one speed hump to be placed on Bergeend Street on July 18, 2018, after the council did a study.
To date, nothing has been done. On following up, we were advised there was no money in the budget at the time.
A year and a half later we are still waiting.
Our councillor, Tracey Lourenco, has tried her best, but without success. Her protestations have fallen on deaf ears.
On Friday night (December 13) a driver overtook three cars at the stop street at the intersection of Bergeend and Loerie streets, lost control and ploughed through a garden wall.
Fortunately no one was killed. The driver was, however, taken to hospital by ambulance. The fire brigade was on the scene as well to assist if required.
Must someone get killed before the council will act?
This undesirable situation continues daily, where drivers totally ignore the stop signs. Residents are sick and tired and disgruntled because they have difficulty entering or leaving their property.
