"Intersection of 2nd St and Basswood Rd is very dangerous. Would like City to look into placing some kind of stop/traffic control there. Cars have a very difficult time crossing 2nd St at this location.
Vehicles are speeding downs 8th Street in front of Mr. Craig's house. He feels that most of this traffic comes from Valhalia Mobile Home Park. There are several children that play in this neighborhood, very dangerous situation. Craig contacted Randy Williamson, Police Department. Williamson will have Police out there to do radar. Craig would like to have speed and traffic counts done, possibly install a stop sign, 8th Street & Hays Street.
At Roosevelt & 4th, there is no sign indicating the 90 degree bend in the road. As a result, many drivers are traveling too fast for the turn, or drive into the alleys where 4th and Roosevelt each dead end. Can we erect an arrow sign, or some type of indication of the turn? (Also, check for adequate street lighting of intersection). Other members of Neighborhood Association concerned.
Traffic calming device at 6th and Rogers inappropriate. See letter. xc: Julio Alonso
Signs have been put up for Walnut Creek development which are causing a line of sight problem.
Concerned re: number of accidents on the S-curve on Weimer Rd since detour began. Would like to see warning sign posted. JA will forward hard copy of email.
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.
Caller reported that several softball players have been driving cars & trucks and racing down bicycle path after loading & unloading equipment @ Bryan Park. Children and pedestrians were around. This is not the first time. Caller is very concerned and does not think any vehicles but City vehicles should be allowed to drive inside the park boundaries. He is worried that someone will get hurt.
Mr. Riggins called to say he spotted an oversized white van w/City logo - woman driver (Kid City van) @ 1st and Lincoln driving West on 1st St. It was raining and the roads were slick. Driver rolled through stop sign or skidded, but didn't come close to a full stop.
Mr. Brewer called to find out what could be done to minimize traffic on Henderson St. and find out if Henderson St. is a permissible route for trucks to use, particularly City trucks.
