\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nIn what will be Stapleton\u2019s strongest effort yet to reduce speeding in the community, Forrest City, in conjunction with the city of Denver, will be placing stop signs at all Stapleton intersections. Stapleton residents in the tens have been complaining about the rampant speeding in Stapleton for the last two years, but have seen little done about the problem. In accordance with Forrest City bylaws, President Phil Dargossi immediately overreacted to the issue to silence the relatively small number of complainers by instituting what is now being called his \u201cstop all\u201d policy.\nThere were no official studies done on the speed of traffic in Stapleton, but there were several subjective studies that Forrest City sited where residents simply stated that many drivers were going \u201ctoo fast.\u201d\n\u201cAt times I would see cars driving by that I felt were driving at unsafe speeds,\u201d said resident Brian Meeter. \u201cWe can\u2019t, and won\u2019t have that.\u201d\nSome residents have noticed drawbacks to the plan. \u201cI like people driving more slowly,\u201d says Dave Leonhart. \u201cBut I don\u2019t like having a trip that use to take 12 minutes now take a half an hour.\u201d\nThere are some other issues that concern residents regarding the new plan as well. \u201cUsed to be people from Aurora just whizzed right through,\u201d says Dan Bolsem. \u201cNow, you will see these Aurora people stopping every 30 to 80 yards. Have you ever seen an Aurora person up close? Not a good experience.\u201d\nAlthough Dargossi sympathizes with residents\u2019 frustrations, he would like for the community to be patient and see how it all plays out. \u201cHonestly, that is kind of our answer to everything. Just be patient, and let\u2019s see how this thing pans out.\u201d Residents will have to have more patience as, moving forward, they will be stopping their cars at every intersection.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
