Mr. Parks contacted us couple mo.'s ago regarding traffic light @ GE entrance off Curry--semi's/cars both running light, running others off road--explained it was County's jurisdiciton. This time called b/c has been calling County for months--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--told him I'd forward complaint to BPD to see if they could patrol area more & ticket.
Mr. Barr is irate that there aren't a few parking spots reserved for citizens in the Farmers Market lot. He feels the City is treating the citizenry with disrespect by not reserving 5-6 of the Farmers Market spaces for citizens doing business in City Hall.
Kathy is a school bus driver, who's route is on Kinser Pike. She has a special needs child that when she stopped the bus to help him off, 4 college age students on bicycles intentionally went right through her flashing stop sign and almost hit this child. In addition, as busy and as dangerous as this road is these bike riders put others in danger, including themselves. She wants MORE police to patrol this road to catch bike riders who do not stop when a bus has their flashing stop sign out.
Trucks (specifically Hanna trucks loaded w/stone) speed down Sare Road near Moores Pike even though there is a "no truck" sign. Please enforce this sign.
