The Hillsdale Condominium community is fed up with the accidents that continue to occur on Village Parkway due to excess speed, and distracted driving. Over the last 5 years, our entrance sign and front entry have been damaged by irresponsible drivers, causing homeowners to have to repair the entrance. Homeowners and renters have been involved in horrible accidents while attempting to exit our subdivision. Three (3) serious, critical, and preventable accidents have occurred outside our subdivision in July 2023, alone.

The Hillsdale community contains 216 units within the Hillsdale 2 condominium community and 240 units within the Park at Hillsdale condominium community. The residents of our combined community would like to see one or more of our suggestions enacted by the Smyrna Mayor and City Council.

1. A traffic light installation at the entrance to the Hillsdale Condominium entrance.

2. A speed limit reduction from 45 mph to 35 mph, and increased police presence ticketing the speeders driving 60mph and higher through the curves that exist on Village Parkway.

3. Turning Lanes created on Village Parkway at the entrance to our subdivision.

4. A sign is installed indicating when traffic is oncoming from either direction, for safety as the roadways curve and it’s impossible to see traffic from either direction.

5. Village Parkway only contains residential entrances and exits. Install speed bumps/ breakers to deter speeding and distracted driving.

The residents of Village Parkway, Hillsdale 2 Condominiums and the Park at Hillsdale appreciate the mayor and councilmembers consideration to this dangerous, life threatening issue.
