There's plenty of people around who've been longer than I, but this is my recollection:
The city/county's long-range plan is to turn this into an
arterial with full-width driving lanes, bike lanes, green strips
plus side-walks.. the kind of wide-open asphalt expanse that
really encourages speeding. Most people along the street will be
very surprised to find out how much of "their" front yard isn't.
When they had a planning meeting about this ~15 years ago, most
people were adamantly against it. Presumably the development would
be triggered once traffic volume gets to a certain level.
Personally I'd like to see it turn into a bicycle boulevard with
restricted vehicle access at the intersection with Park.

Hi! My family and I are starting a campaign to educate drivers on Crystal Lake Drive about the speed limit of 25mph. The speeding on this road is very unsafe - I wonder if many drivers think its a 35 mph zone.
It is a well-loved route for walkers/joggers/bikers/parents with babies/kids etc. More drivers seem to be using this road to get to the park and avoid the new speed limit restrictions on Hwy 99.--
If you have feelings about this and would like to support our campaign, please stop at the new kid's Farm/Craft stand at 2610 Crystal Lake Drive (the Park end of the street) and sign the petition. We hope to present it to the Benton Co. Sheriff's office, or ODT or whoever will care to see if we can get their help and raise awareness of the safety concern on this street.
We are also going to be adding signs to the street, if you want to add one to your driveway that would be great and we could help out with that.
We just really want to keep everyone safe and able to enjoy this street. We aren't anti-car, it's just a request for respect of speed limit in our neighborhood.
Your advice and support is welcome.
