This yellow stick – we will call it a cone – has been placed on High Street for a reason: Caution.
Please slow down, please be careful, please don’t use this street as a racetrack to avoid Village traffic. Please don’t use this street as a place to take out your sublimated road rage or a place to make up for lost time if you are late for work, your work-out or getting the kids to school.
The yellow cone is actually attached to High Street. It is benign.However, if you fly around any number of blind curves expect that people who live here will not be as benign or as quiet as this little CAUTION cone. You will either hit the residents of High Street or hear from them.
Thanks for staying slowly to the left or right of the CAUTION cone which, BTW, indicates a crosswalk.
Summer is here. Woodstock Early Bird will see you on the street. We endorse this new splash of safety color brought to you by the Village of Woodstock.

At some point we’ll get High Street closed to thru traffic and we’ll no longer have to risk our lives when we step out of our front doors.

From Alita:
As a runner, and a parent who walks with kids around town I appreciate your appeal I would love to see those cones on every single crosswalk in the village!

As someone who regularly drives in the Village – and many times taking my daughter to WES – I have already seen a number of cars slow down at these new yellow markers. Well done!

Peter Behr recently suggested speed bumps. A good high one, or two, would be very effective.
Now I’m feeling that I might be unwelcome when I use High Street. Althouh I creep along below the limit I am an obvious nonresident.

An unpleasant comment such as this when we’re talking about the possibility of children getting struck by speeding vehicles reveals this woman Donna’s lack of concern for the safety and well-being of children, and about her basic human kindness.

I believe the cone-sticks are a good first step towards controlling traffic and keeping pedestrians safe on High Street. My dear neighbors and I have often gasped as a car or truck speeds around the blind corner in front of my house (where cone-stick now stands). I believe High Street should be closed to through traffic when the WES kids are walking to and from school…M-F 7-8am and 2-3pm or so. We all fear there will be a tragic accident and have seen many close calls. Come sit on my porch and we’ll talk…(open invitation)
