    "Nothing but trying not to get hit by speeding cars. Going yo mailbox on Monroe near City ski hill ice rink Speed limit is 55 mph. I worry about children dogs cats wild critters school buses 30 miles per hour. Safety First. Then enjoying city forest trails and biking will become a first class event. Our city has marked bike paths Not around city forest. Not evens path (sidewalk) to be able to safely enjoy our forest! Slow Down. Residents and city tourist need your help in changing speed regulations "
