I totally agree.. I live on this street and am afraid to let my child play in the front yard.. Also, it's terrifying to open your door when cars are speeding in both directions.. please help

This would be a simple, inexpensive solution for the city. I would urge you to write letters, and make phone calls, to the Department of Public Works to make them get on the ball with this.

Yes... lets put a stop sign or a traffic light at any street that intersects with Circular....

If you want a stop sign put it at a busier intersection like York and Circular at the top of the hill. It doesn't not make any sense to put it at North when that street is minor.

I'll probably die getting in or out of my car on Circular st. Need to slow down traffic!

If we can't get a traffic signal then we should be pushing to get at least TWO Speed bumps and crosswalks..

something should be done! i walked this street daily for a while and honestly thought im bound to see someone get hit one of these days. why wait til it happens??

someone was killed on this hill decades ago. The little kids in the neighborhood knelled on the side of the street and prayed for her. i will never forget it. Now that my husband is in a wheelchair it is impossible for him to cross the street to visit neighbors. someone nearly hit the chair when I was taking it out of the van. Thank goodness he wasn't in it at the time.

OK so I can't spell. The children knelt on the side of the road. sorry

The set up a speed awareness device 40 yards from stop sign. To show you how fast you slow for top sign? Brilliant!

Saratoga Bridges bus roaring down the hill today 56 MPH according to the sign. Bus #141

I'm out of town right now so can't look at the speed awareness device Rick mentions. Was it at the High Rock end or at Lake?

Seems to me the speed worst offenders are people coming up the hill oddly enough... trying to get their jollies out before they hit in town traffic. If the device is 40 yards north of Lake it would probably catch quite a few scofflaws.

It's at the High Rock end of the street. People with company names on the cars shouldn't speed down the hill. My husband the disabled Vet wants to sit on the sidewalk in his wheelchair and take pictures. But that would cause some other problems.

Ok, thanks CJ.

My wife and I contacted Chris Mathiesen's office after he became public safety commissioner and were referred to the police department. My wife talked to a deputy police chief who said that a stop sign wasn't an "appropriate" solution and they would investigate the problem and try dealing with it in "other ways". Maybe the traffic counter down by High Rock is one of these ways. If you're not satisfied with what is happening you could contact the Public Safety department as well as posting here....

It's been 2 1/2 years so I thought I'd write an update, which is that nothing's changed. No traffic control devices and lots of speeding drivers. I try to make eye contact with them unsuccessfully when they're barreling down the street and I'm getting in my car. Seems like they are unaware it's a residential neighborhood.

By comparison, the other day I was on Sand Hill Road in Colonie and needed to get to Central. Google Maps had me turn onto a street called Mordella, a residential street. There were speed bumps down the street to keep this unwanted traffic from endangering the neighborhood. If they can do it, maybe we can too.

One more year and still no improvement. I've noticed there is a woman down the street toward High Rock who apparently lives alone and uses a walker to get around. Every morning she has to slowly cross Circular with her walker to move her car on alternate parking days.

I hate to think what might happen if a thoughtless, speeding driver noticed her too late. Please, let's fix this by putting either a stop sign or speed bumps at Circular and North.
