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.
requesting a crosswalk at the entrance of sherwood oaks church where rogers road and spicewood lane intersect.

Ms. Lentz reported a street light out.
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.
