There is a problem on South Maxwell Street just South of Hillside Drive. When there are cars parked on both sides of Maxwell it is difficult to pull off of Hillside Drive and get through. She has been blocked and told to go around the block to access her home. It is dangerous because you do not know the cars are there until you are half way onto Maxwell Street.
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.
Sudbury states that people are travelling 60 MPH down Weimer Road. There were two accidents in the past week. She has contacted the Police Department and they have sent out officers but they only drive up and down the road. The need to have the officers stay out there and write tickets. She is possibly interested in traffic calming of some type.
Citizen says driver of trash truck was speeding through Blue Ridge this morning, ignoring stop signs. Says this should not be allowed, especially when it is so slick out and people are pulling out of their driveways.
Alley way behind 1021-1023 W. 12th Street (the cul-de-sac) is 1) almost out of gravel and 2) due to trees in right of way, is encroaching into complainants property. Mr. Onkst would like to see the alley repaired and realigned. Please call him with updates, etc
There is a tulip tree in between 3911 & 3913 Laurel Ct. The driver of the trash truck has backed up into the tree the past 2 weeks, breaking branches and leaves everywhere. He doesn't need to back up this far and he's going to kill the tree.
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.
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.
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.
