SEE ATTACHED PETITION. THE REQUEST IS TO HAVE N. SUMMIT STREET CLOSED AT WEST 11TH STREET
MR. KUPERSMITH FEELS THAT TRAFFIC TRAVELS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON WEST 8TH STREET BETWEEN ADAMS STREET AND THE TRAILER COURT. HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE IN THIS AREA, POSSIBLY SPEED BUMPS (SEE ATTACHED LETTER).
Citizen says that yesterday, Tues. May 12, at 9:30AM, a city employee driving a Blue Celebrity with municipal plates 34835 was tailgating other drivers, cut her off and was generally driving in a hazardous fashion which poorly represented the city. She thought this person should be reprimanded. The incident occurred on Walnut Street.
Citizen says alley next to her house (between7th & 8th Streets) is very heavily travelled and vehicles use a high rate of speed. Aside from gravel being spewed into her yard, she is afraid that a child or a pet will be hurt by cars going too fast. Says she can only call Police so many times. Wants to know if speed bumps could be installed to slow down traffic through the alley.
"Turn arrow and street sign has been hit by a car and needs to be fixed" at corner of W 17th St. and Crescent Rd.
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.

MCKEE STATED THAT HIS NEIGHBOR IS PARKING HIS CARS IN THE ALLEY AND BLOCKING IT FROM ANYONE TRYING TO DRIVE THROUGH IT. MCKEE HAD THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT COME OUT APPROX. 2 YEARS AGO WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS A DISCREPANCY WITH WHAT WAS THE NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY AND WHAT WAS THE CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY.
THE SIGNAL TIMING AT THE INTERSECTION OF BRYAN/THIRD/HIGH STREET NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. TRAFFIC OFF OF HIGH STREET GETS PRIORITY, THEN THE SIGNAL ON BRYAN STREET IS ONLY GREEN FOR LESS THAN 4 SECONDS (PEOPLE RUN THE INTERSECTION AT ALL TIMES. TONE STATED THAT IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.
Concerned cars are sliding off curve, over curb on Pete Ellis Dr. between Bayside Dr. & RR tracks. Afraid kids will be hit standing there waiting fo the bus. Someone already hit the tree. (Complaint received by Debbie Vollmer - entered by D. Ball.
