Stop Whatcom Street speeding

I live on Whatcom Street behind Pioneer Market. There are numerous people that walk, ride bikes and use strollers and walkers on the street to and from town. Lately, the traffic has increased and the corners of Talbot and Rainier streets are being used as a shortcut to get to Maple Avenue and to town, in order to avoid the Morris Street corner stop sign congestion.

What I don't appreciate is cars speeding down Whatcom and cutting the corners and/or not bothering to even stop at the stop signs. It is only a matter of time before someone is hurt. Please slow down. This is not a tulip time issue, this happens daily.

It is my hope that the City of La Conner will install a speed bump to slow the traffic and make it safer for everyone.
