Citizen's Requests
Jessica Knoelk at 2030 Ross, expressed and brought comments from residents at
Cassidy Dr coming off of 45th, Eagle Pointe Dr, and Wildwood Ln, about frustration
with the unsafe speeds and reckless driving in the area. It is an active pedestrian area.
Students and buses have nearly been hit. Sandra Knoelk commented that something
needs done. Sgt. Fielding will put the radar trailer out again but the average speed in
that area is 30 mph. Ammon deputies will patrol as they are able. The battery on the
speed limit sign on Ross Ave is dead. Tracy will take care of that.
Bruce Rick at 3100 Midway -Speeds on Owen St and Midway Ave are way too fast. He
wants something done about the dangerous conditions near schools. Sgt. Fielding will
touch base with the Sandcreek Middle School resource officer to see if he can patrol
when people are coming to and leaving the school. He will have Ammon deputies
patrol as they are able. Mr. Rick will be at the next meeting.
Eric Jamison at 1855 Avocet -The speed and volume of traffic is high. What happened
with the Eagle Dr bridge closure? We had meetings and the majority of the citizens
didn't want it closed. Speed bumps and speed signs have been installed but the traffic
study didn't change much.
Tim West at 3528 E 65th S - He is in the county but still wants a 4 way stop at the
65th/Ammon intersection as well as deer crossing signs. Suggested he go to County
Road & Bridge meetings and let them know how he feels.
Councilwoman Boyle relayed concerns from Rex Thompson regarding White Pines.
Tracy said we will have to wait until school is in and monitor the patterns.
Action Items:
1. None at this time
Street Division Updates: Street sweeping. There isn't any oil for street patching. As
soon as they start making emulsion for the Dura-Patcher we will start street repairs.

First St bridge rebuild will start in a few weeks. The 1st St project will have the
utilities moved and the bridge completed this year. The rest of the project will be done
next year.
Discussion Items:
1. Tony Black -There needs to be an entrance sign for trucks that need to turn
into Walker Produce 2. Too many trucks miss it and then have to back up or
try to turn around. It is causing traffic to back up -This is not something the
Commission gets involved in. Micah will call them.
2. Reconsider Wally's on street parking -The answer is still no.
3. The horrible potholes on Avocet are actually on a private road.
Adjourned: 10:01 a.m.
