CLEVELAND — The city of Cleveland is adding speed tables to 10 streets to help reduce speeding cars through residential areas.

Vision Zero Cleveland is an organization that lists the City of Cleveland among its multiple partners and has the goal "to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all."

The 10 streets are:

• East 174th Street from Ozark Ave. to Nottingham Rd.
• Edgewater Drive from West 117th St. to West 115th St. 
• West 101st Street from Marginal Rd. to Madison Ave.
• West 50th Street from Kouba Ave. to Clark Ave.
• West 56th Street from Denison Ave. to Storer Ave.
• Bohn Road from East 40th St. to Kennard Rd.
• Dickens Avenue from Larry Doby Way to East 116th St. 
• Corlett Avenue crossing Martin Luther King Jr. Dr.
• East 147th Street from Bartlett Ave. to Glendale Ave. 
• Judson Drive from East 160th Street to Lee Road 

Sabrina Otis, a resident on one of the chosen streets, is not so sure they will help.

“We want more,” she said. “We just want people to treat us the way they choose to be treated in their community.”

She described the road as a mini raceway.

“People use this community, especially because we’re by the highway and the shore way, as their cut throughs to their entertainment and to their extracurricular activities, but people actually live here,” she said. 

People walk, ride bikes and play outside on their street, but Otis said it’s not safe as things are.

“You can’t walk safely anywhere,” she said. “You maybe could walk on the sidewalk, but if you have to cross the street, you got to hope and pray that the person that’s behind that vehicle is going to slow down and stop for you.”

The city will begin installing the speed tables starting next month.

The city will receive feedback from residents in September, but the speed tables will be there through at least the winter.
