I live on Baldwin. I am happy to participate. I'm open to any idea that could increase safety on this road. I have a young daughter and I'm nervous every time we walk to her daycare.

Potential Ideas:

Speed bumps or stop sign at every intersection

One way with only one lane. I would feel safer with a row of parked cars between the sidewalk and the street. Narrower street = slower speeds. Pro: additional parking on one side of the street

They can't put speed bumps on Baldwin because it's an emergency road.

what does that mean? isn't every road an emergency road

Not really. Certain wider roads that run longer stretches are designated as emergency roads so fire trucks, ambulances, etc. can get through at top speed. These roads can't have speed bumps.
