Brand new 20 mph school sign on E. 185th Street.

In the premiere issue of the Collinwood Observer, in her article entitled, "How much does Cleveland value its children?"  Rebecca Barbarino wrote about the E. 185th street "dragway" and how it was imperative that a 20 mph school zone sign be erected to alert motorists to the presence of children walking to and from school. She said that over the years she has made numerous calls to the city to ask for a sign. This year, she stopped in to the 5th District Police Station, visited with Officer Howard and Captain Tom Tube and described the situation. The last thing she did was write the story for the Collinwood Observer.

We are pleased to note that there is a brand new 20mph school zone sign on East 185th street between Harland and Schenely. Thanks to Officer Howard, Captain Tube and the City of Cleveland for paying attention and helping to make our neighborhood safer.
