Marshall Street residents would also like to have Police presence especially when commuters cut through from Hopkinton and Milford in the morning/evening hours for school or work, soccer moms and dads going to the soccer fields and in general that motorists speed down this scenic narrow road when the speed limit should be 25-30 mph. It is non stop traffic 24/7!
