Citizen says that at about 8:40 this morning (Tues 9/30), a white City trash truck (did not get #) made a 3-point turn in the middle of the street about 30 feet from the intersection of Walnut & Grimes. They went over a double yellow line and backed up traffic "creating a very hazardous situation."
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.
Ann Novak lives at corner of Park Ridge Rd and Saratoga. A work crew trying to repair a street light dug up her lawn to trace wiring. Its been several weeks, the light isn't working and her lawn is a mess.
After Dunn St changes to Atwater, Atwater curves sharply until it crosses Indiana. Trees & foliage make it impossible for pedestrians to see cars until theyre upon them. The 25mph speed limit is rarely enforced. Suggests: Signs warning drivers to drive slowly, and/or blinking yellow light at intersection, and/or increased enforcement of speed limit.

Mr. Crewell is president of the Fritz terrace neighborhood Association. He has two traffic related concers. 1)The residential side of North Kinser, from Marsh north, is not marked with neither yellow curbs nor "No Parking" signs. Sometimes people actually park there, and he feels it should be marked. 2) Within Fritz Terrace, there are no sidewalks. That, coupled with the curvy streets, make a speed limit of 30mph too fast for the neighborhood.
Calling on behalf of Fairview School PTO. They are concerned about traffic on the block of N Fairview between 7th & 8th, especially right before & after school. With parents dropping off & picking up, parking, pulling in & out, etc it is hazardous for the children. Wants to know if that block of Fairview could be made one-way - or if there are other possible solutions. FYI - she is married to HT reporter Steve Hinnefeld.
AN E-MAIL COMPLAINT WAS RECEIVED IN THE UTILITIES DEPT. STATING THAT THE STREET LIGHTS AT 7TH & ROGERS WERE NOT OPERATING AND HAVE NOT BEEN OPERATING FOR OVER 2 WEEKS. THIS COMPLAINT WAS REFERRED TO THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPT.
Weeds are obstructing vision for north bound traffic at the intersection of Maplecrest and Headley Road. The property at 1643 Maplecrest is student housing and the yard is unkept most of the time. Unregistered rental.
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.
