Due to near wrecks from cars drifing into other lanes, would like lane markings painted in two areas: 1) The portion of Henderson which crosses Atwater and extends to Third Street, and 2) the left turn lane after the light at Third & Dunn, which feeds into the above section.
Mefford (who builds swings) is upset that the police were involved in the high speed chase which hurt innocent bystanders. He feels chasing stolen cars at high speed is unnecessary. He will call injured family & offer to help pay legal fees if they sue the City. He hopes the Mayor does not condone these high-speed chases and he would like a call from the Mayor.
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.
Street markings need to be repainted. Worst section is 2nd Street from downtown to Hwy. 37. Also College & Walnut. Ms. Harker almost had a wreck because of lack of clear street markings.
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.
"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.
Citizen says he was traveling north on N Old SR 37 towards Dolan. Says he was in a passing zone attempting to pass a white and blue sanitation truck. Says the truck swerved over into his lane and ran him off the road causing a flat tire and bent rim. Said he was attempting to pass 3 vehicles and sanitation truck was in the middle. Wants City to repair his vehicle.
