Slow down

To the editor: When you are in a hurry to get your youngster off to school on time, or to get to the soccer game on time, or to get to the baseball field on time, just remember the speed limit. The speed limit on Jayne Street in the Village of Florida is 25 MPH. Not 35, 45 or 55 - especially during school hours. Many residents in our village have children with special needs that require special transportation. Please be aware of school vehicles that don’t have traditional yellow paint and big flashing red lights. Just like your kids, ours are repeatedly trained about the dangers of the road, traffic and speeders. When you see a “School vehicle,” no matter what color it is, STOP. AND WAIT! And please note that as parents we want our children to board their ride to school safely, no matter what color it is. And just because you may be late, please don’t jeopardize my child’s safety.
