  • Share Street parking is heavily used in this area for school and daycare pick up and drop off and anytime there is an event at kelso beach.

A better way to ensure traffic calming would be to actually have an officer present more as anytime there is one present they ticket numerous vehicles.

There is also already a bike path on 2nd ave west that bicyclists could use.
