Whether its a commuter or resident, no one has the right to drive unsafely in our neighborhood.  If your concerned about the unsafe speeds on Beverly Glen, contact traffic@beverlyglen.org to volunteer for our Speedwatch team, all it takes a 1 hour a month to make a big difference to let drivers know they are being watched, Speedwatched!
