Many drivers on Walnut are running stop light at Hillside/Walnut. Ms. Roska feels giving some tickets in the area would cause people to obey the traffic light.

There is a problem on South Maxwell Street just South of Hillside Drive. When there are cars parked on both sides of Maxwell it is difficult to pull off of Hillside Drive and get through. She has been blocked and told to go around the block to access her home. It is dangerous because you do not know the cars are there until you are half way onto Maxwell Street.
Stop sign is completely covered by vegitation at the intersection of W.13th & Fairview.
The request is actually from the owner of 1425 S. Madison Street for "No Parking" in front of his house. The curb is currently painted 20' back from the intersection & 5' on either side of his driveway. This leaves only 22-24' (1 car space) in front of his house. XJD Properties recently purchased prop. at 321 W. Hillside Drive. At shift change there are several cars that come off of Hillside onto Madison and if anyone is parked there they are almost hit. Most residents have off street pkg.
Mr. Parks contacted us couple mo.'s ago re: traffic light @ GE entrance off Curry--semi's/cars both running light, running others off road--I explained it was County's jurisdiciton. This time called b/c County not responding--fed up! This time he added problem w/ speeding and reckless driving all up and down Curry. Again, reiterated what part of Curry is County & what's City (from 1833 Curry to Fulerton Pk)--told him I'd forward complaint to BPD to see if they could patrol area more & ticket.
STORM DRAIN AT 11TH & BLAIR NEEDS CLEANED OUT
An anonymous caller left a msg. on voice mail at Utilities Dept. that the owners of the large brick house at the entrance to Sherwood Oaks built a pond and that the drainage was causing ice and hazardous driving on Allendale.
There is a truck that always parks in the road. It makes a normally two laned road into a one laned road.
Erman & Associates has an employee that is handicapped. There are no handicap parking spaces in this block area. They do have a parking lot in back, but they have only 4 parking spaces for 8 employees. Plus the distance is too far and dangerous for the employee to walk. They would like to have a handicap space in front of their building or close to the alley. They would like to be placed on the 9-23-98 Traffic Comm. agenda to get something done before winter and bad weather starts.
Mr. Parks called to inform the City Police that the intersection of West Third St. and Curry Pike is hazardous due to motorists running red traffic lights. He mentioned it is near GE (no incident specifically AT GE, but nearby intersection). He would like the City to send someone out to watch our part of the intersection for violators.
