Student Hit, Calls for Safer Streets | Louisville News

A student narrowly avoided serious injury after being struck by a car near Seneca High School in Louisville’s Bon Air neighborhood — sparking renewed calls for traffic safety reforms. Residents like Mason Wilburn, who’s lived there three years, say drivers routinely speed and ignore stop signs on Goldsmith Lane, a busy street flanked by schools, a library, and a park. Wilburn has pushed for speed humps before, but with no action taken, he’s now rallying neighbors to support a petition and urging officials to review pedestrian safety. While Councilman Brent Ackerson notes emergency vehicles and buses need clear access, he’s installing radar speed signs and increasing police enforcement — including overtime and citations — to tackle speeding, acknowledging that fixing the issue is complex and ongoing.
