Mr. Hayford is concerned about the speed of drivers in the Southdowns/Jordan Ave. area. He says a lot of people walk in the area, especially to Bryan Park. Also, his 5 yr. old daughter walks w/ her daycare program with other young children through this area every day. "This is an accident waiting to happen." PLEASE TREAT THIS AS A REQUEST FOR A SPEED BOARD TO BE PLACED IN THIS AREA (talked with Jane 8/4).
FYI -- a gentleman called to say that police vehicles are exiting onto Washington St. too fast w/ what seems to be little regard for the fact that there's a park as well as Kid City in that same location. He noted that cars often do NOT have their sirens on. He suggested that maybe some hedges should be installed along Washington as they are Lincoln, to help prevent kids from going onto the street, it seems to work as a deterrent. (This man lives and works in the area)
Mr. Boese requests that the west curb on Larkspur where it intersects with Allen be painted.
Mark is requesting that the curb on the south side of their driveway be painted yellow approximately 15-30 feet back. It is very difficult for their drivers as well as customers to exit onto N. Walnut Street when cars are parked up to the drive. This may possibly eliminate 1 to 2 parking spaces.
Someone has cut some trees down on the street and they are sticking out so motorist have to swerve into the other lane to get around them.
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.
