Description
This is the most dangerous place on Woodmont between 100 Oaks and Green Hills. It is truly a high traffic street, particularly with the addition of the Vanderbilt clinic at 100 oaks mall. The only lights we have to slow down the traffic are on Powell, and then the next one is at Lealand. The speed limit is 25, but i've witnessed people consistently going over 50 coming over the top of the hill. In the Pleasant Valley neighborhood you have 4 streets. They are Pleasant Valley, Springbrook, Westhaven and Crestridge. There are 86 houses in this neighborhood. Obviously it is just a matter of time until there is a serious accident. Having a four way light like the one at Lealand would allow for safer traffic patterns and left turns out of the neighborhood.

Nothing has been done to address this problem. Metro's traffic study was inadequate.
Now that a Walmart is going in at the corner of Powell Ave. and Thompson Lane, the volume of traffic on Woodmont will substantially increase.
Something needs to be done. If not a traffic light, we must have a flashing yellow light warning of the 25 mph zone.
Everyone ignores the 25-mph signs all the time.
