I live on Shartel in MP and just park my car in the street to help calm traffic. The folks across the street also park in the street, and it makes a world of difference compared to when there's only one car in the street. I also drive 20mph max through the neighborhood and take my time at stop signs to help deter people from speeding through.
I don't mind traffic (foot, car, bike) down the street at all; I just wish it was calmer. That way I could let my toddler play in the front yard or walk him to the park and be a little more at ease. I hope my neighbors feel the same way. I'd prefer more impactful traffic calming measures like curb bumpouts and better street design than stop signs, but at least the stop signs are way cheaper. Also, Shartel being 30mph is pretty ridiculous IMO.
Either way, it looks like Ian McDermid didn't actually file his original appeal in time, according to Next Door, so he'd have to take the case to district court to appeal.
