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.
Dangerous traffic situation on West 2nd St. near the ramp to the S.R. 37 Bypass. SEE LETTER.
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
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.
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.
Weeds are obstructing vision for north bound traffic at the intersection of Maplecrest and Headley Road. The property at 1643 Maplecrest is student housing and the yard is unkept most of the time. Unregistered rental.
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.
Traffic calming device at 6th and Rogers inappropriate. See letter. xc: Julio Alonso
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.
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.
