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.
