Our house is on Mamalu Street just off Alewa Drive.
Mamalu is used as a straight stretch to avoid many of the switchbacks on Alewa. There is a "slow" sign at the entrance but motorists speed up and down the street. I worry about my children, my cat and my guests who have to cross the street regularly.
I just returned from a weekend in Berkeley, where they solved similar problems with speed bumps on certain streets.
I think that's what Mamalu needs but I have no idea how to start the ball rolling.
