Park Ridge West on Longview: He was there last night, the security light is out. Also, there really needs to be 2 lights there instead of 1, without it, it is really dark. Needs the light ASAP.
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.
PLEASE SEE ATTACHED LETTER.
April 13, approx. 4:15 p.m., City of B'ton fire truck 332 & aerial truck ran a vehicle off the road at a stop light on Third Street responding to a call regarding a structure fire in Park Square. Caller is a firefighter himself and feels it was unnecessary for the trucks to drive so fast when there were 2 other fire departments responding. Comments have been made before and this type problem should have been corrected--but wasn't.
Dangerous traffic situation on West 2nd St. near the ramp to the S.R. 37 Bypass. SEE LETTER.
Traffic calming device at 6th and Rogers inappropriate. See letter. xc: Julio Alonso
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.
Caller reported that several softball players have been driving cars & trucks and racing down bicycle path after loading & unloading equipment @ Bryan Park. Children and pedestrians were around. This is not the first time. Caller is very concerned and does not think any vehicles but City vehicles should be allowed to drive inside the park boundaries. He is worried that someone will get hurt.
Mr. Riggins called to say he spotted an oversized white van w/City logo - woman driver (Kid City van) @ 1st and Lincoln driving West on 1st St. It was raining and the roads were slick. Driver rolled through stop sign or skidded, but didn't come close to a full stop.
Mr. Steigerwald said that a street light is burned out.
