Citizen’s Requests:
1. Michael Coats at 699 Katie Ct- During White Pine’s release time on Wednesdays
at 1 p.m., they are still getting blocked in their driveway. Cars are grid locked
for 30-40 min. and backed up to Wimbledon Cir. It has gotten a little bit better
in the mornings for drop offs and in the afternoon for pick-ups. It is still
gridlock and the driveways are blocked before the bells ring however. Tracy and
Ron, from White Pines, have been in contact. Ron knows it is a major problem
and is working to remedy the situation. Tracy has given him some suggestions
on how to utilize their parking lot more. Tracy will speak with him again. After
the John Adam’s Pkwy bridge is open, if cars are still stopping in the road and
blocking driveways, the sheriff’s dept. will ticket them. Michael is especially
concerned about Wed. from 12:45 – 1:25 because it totally blocks them in for a
long time.
2. John Adams Pkwy and the big corner by White Pines Charter School- She is
concerned with kids crossing the street and the speeds. They are not using the
crosswalk. Tracy will put out a few more bike symbols on the street to hopefully
help make the corner safer. If cars go in the bike lane it will be enforceable. As
soon as the John Adams Pkwy bridge is open Tracy will get speed trailer out.
Street Division Updates: Eagle Dr/Derrald Ave-The roundabout should be done
sometime next week. People like that the RR tracks have been taken out on Sunnyside
Rd
Action Items:
