A Mount Pleasant neighborhood is urging the Town Council to install speed humps on Mossy Branch Way, a road with a history of speeding issues.
Residents of the Oaks at Marsh View have been requesting speed humps for nearly four years, citing the road's use as a "cut-through" street from Rifle Range Road to Ben Sawyer Boulevard.
"We had this horrible thing," said Brittany Webb, an Oaks at Marsh View resident. "Had we just gotten a speed bump that we'd been asking for, this could have slowed him down.
Despite three traffic studies, the requests have been unsuccessful, prompting residents to bring their concerns directly to the town council after a recent close call.
The neighborhood's homeowner's association president, Sandy Quinqe, is leading the efforts to install speed humps and improve road safety.
