Mr. Lucas would like to know why new truck rt. (2nd & Allen) is NOT being used by trucks? He says that trucks use Allen St. b/c its a straight shot, w/ only 1 stop sign. He feels that trucks should be ticketed and fined so that they know "Blmgtn. has a police dept.". He says that the police need to monitor the speed limit, or someone is going to get hurt. This is a residential area, and he wants to see trucks using the appropriate route.

Citizen says he has parked in front of his house for 5 years and buys residential permit. About 3 weeks ago he started getting parking tickets because his car was "too far out". Says when Street repaved it left a drop off and he can't pull his car over any further. People park on the other side of the street illegally and never get ticketed. Says City needs to either fix the street or stop ticketing him. He was reasonable and supportive of city employees, but says he didn't create problem.
