Kid City commendation. Her daughter and a friend attended 2 sessions of KC Outdoor this summer. It was a wonderful experience. Activities were creative and fun. Really enjoyed the camp-out @ Yellowwood. Especially impressed with the counselors - great role models. Keep up the good work! (see letter)
Mefford (who builds swings) is upset that the police were involved in the high speed chase which hurt innocent bystanders. He feels chasing stolen cars at high speed is unnecessary. He will call injured family & offer to help pay legal fees if they sue the City. He hopes the Mayor does not condone these high-speed chases and he would like a call from the Mayor.
Commendation - Kid City Childs. Caller said she is very pleased with program. Counselors are wonderful! Would like to see swim lessons offered next year during camp.
Sherwood Oaks Park: The creek on the back of park has been dammed up (by kids, cty or parks? not sure?) and there is trash in it and a bad odor.
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.
Mr. McCafferty called in to comment on four Bloomington Police Officers on bicycles that were near People's Park on E. Kirkwood Avenue. He said the officers were stopping people on skateboards and he said he saw no reason why there should be that many officers in one place. The call was made from a pay phone at approximately 3:15 p.m. on Monday, July 28, 1997
Citizen says City website is not updated in a timely manner.
Street markings need to be repainted. Worst section is 2nd Street from downtown to Hwy. 37. Also College & Walnut. Ms. Harker almost had a wreck because of lack of clear street markings.
Mr. Lanaham said that he called Parks and Rec. to see if his daughter's softball practice would be canceled due to the bad weather. He said he talked to John Turnball, who he said was "arrogant" in answering his question.
