Mr. Parks contacted us couple mo.'s ago regarding traffic light @ GE entrance off Curry--semi's/cars both running light, running others off road--explained it was County's jurisdiciton. This time called b/c has been calling County for months--fed up! This time he added problem w/ speeding and reckless driving all up and down Curry. Again, reiterated what part of Curry is County & what's City--told him I'd forward complaint to BPD to see if they could patrol area more & ticket.
There is a "contraption" parked on the street.
Mr. Osbourne says he has contacted Transit 3-4 times to complain city buses are not stopping at stop sign behind Wal-Mart. Transit has told him they will talk to the drivers, but he says nothing has changed. Today, he said bus #9724, route 3E ran through this stop sign.
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.
Mr. McClelland reported that a city buss pulled out of Tulip Tree Apartments without stopping for the stop sign causing him to have to brake suddenly. The incident happen around 3:00pm today and he was able to get the plate number of the bus(#65289) This was a dangerous situation. Mr. McClelland would like a call back from a supervisor so he can discuss this matter further.
