Description
Viewers reached out to CBS 8 with safety concerns over roundabouts on Streamview Drive in the Oak Park neighborhood. CBS 8 profiled neighbors’ concerns on this street in July 2022, and 14 months later, they reached out to us again.
“A cat only has 9 lives, we’ve already exhausted 8,” said longtime Streamview Drive resident, April Mahoney. “My concern and angst is that we got nothing. Mayor’s office talks about sexy streets, we got a big, fat nothing burger.”
Mahoney told CBS 8 about a number of car accidents occurring near the traffic circle on Streamview Drive and Gayle Street, including one last year when a speeding car crashed through her neighbor’s fence and into their home at the tail end of a police pursuit. She also told CBS 8 about the time a drunk driver hit her parked car, and 6 months before that, when another vehicle barreled through her other neighbor’s retaining wall, crashing into their home too.
