This morning, November 10, on my son’s way to school, he slid off the road and damaged his car. He was not going to fast, nor could he have done anything to prevent it as he hit a patch of ice on a curve. While a somewhat new driver comparatively, he has experience navigating slick conditions from growing up racing and riding 4 wheelers, dirt bikes, etc. The reason he slid off the road is because it was not salted, sanded or treated in any way. The road, Acuff, is a road traveled by many students to get to Bloomington North. As he sat and waited for his Father to help him, he witnessed numerous cars almost run into him, do 360’s, and hit curbs. Why this road wasn’t a priority being a route to the school is baffling. I hope roads that are connected to school parking lots will become a priority, especially as in this case when the weather was no surprise.
I submitted a complaint, case #206728 and Cheyenne Bowlen was assigned to it. I was told that the city does not do past 100 ft off of Kinser pike, and that it was the county’s responsibility and to reach out to them. I did. They said it is, in fact the city’s responsibility to do Acuff, and that they only have responsibility of Prow, just before it turns to Acuff. The county was confident and firm in their boundaries. So, either one of you is wrong, or there is an unfortunately placed gap in service, as it is a very sharp curve that happens to be the route many kids drive themselves to and from school. Please look into this with consideration to the kids.
The sidewalk that runs along the south side of Acuff Road btwn North Kinser Pike & Rosewood Drive is overgrown with grass/shrubs. The sidewalk is behind the row of trees.
The property located in the 700 block of W. Allen (try 722 ) has trash bags sitting in the back yard. A dog has scattered the trash everywhere.
Neighbor called in complaining about house at NW corner of Fairview and Allen. Lots of junk & trash at this house. The lady from last years clean-up has apparently died. The complainant says there are rats over there.
Mr Sowder phoned wanting to know how TCI can LIE about a survey being conducted concerning the recent channel change. He has two services, one in the city and one in the county. He never received a survey for either service. Mr Sowder feels that TCI should not be allowed to lie and say that they have done a survey,when clearly they have not.
