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.
Caller said that on Wednesday, 4/23/97 a City recycling truck (Plate No. 34774) was going 50mph turning from South Walnut onto Miller Drive.
Citizen says on 4/22 City Sanitation truck nearly hit a bicyclist coming from Waldron onto Kirkwood and then hit a stop sign at the following 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 claims a city employee in white 4 dr vehicle with municipal plates passed him on Grimes heading toward Henderson and caused him to run off the road. Says driver gave him the finger.

I just passed Highway 46 and Walnut. As Walnut comes into town (near McDonalds on the North side) the street lanes are being painted. The painting on Walnut is crazy as there is a giant unused space that will not be used by motorist. They will instead do as they are today and use this area to expedite there dirve to the turn lanes. Someone needs to check this out ASAP.
We moved into a new house recently and there is a car parked in front of it on the street. It has been there for months, since we first looked at the house in March. The windows are partly open and the hood is slightly open. It looks to be abandoned. It is in front of our house, which is annoying, but it also jams up the traffic a little bit because it is very close to the entrance to a busy street. Can I have it towed away? We live on S. Highland Avenue just off Hillside. The car is a forest green dodge convertible, I think. I have tried to knock on the neighbor's door to see if they know whose it is but haven't been able to catch them at home, I don't know them otherwise.
Now that Rogers Road is closed due to construction of the roundabout at Sare Rd., there has been a significant increase in traffic cutting through the Spicewood neighborhood. That in and of itself is bad enough, but many of the vehicles are speeding or blowing through the stop sign at Spicewood and Round Hill. This is creating a danger for us trying to enter or back out of our driveway, or crossing the street, since we live just over the crest of the hill at the intersection. When we back out of our driveway, we are counting on southbound traffic stopping at the stop sign. If they proceed through the stop sign at 30 mph they may not be able to avoid broad siding us as we back out of our driveway. The same holds true for when we pull in our driveway.
