Medical emergency?
Steering knuckle broke?
It’s OK your alive 🦃
Hope everyone’s all right. This was bound to happen… they keep bringing roads and buildings closer and closer, while turning the roads into Putt-Putt obstacle courses.
Their stated logic is, “These are traffic calming measures, people will slow down” which, like most of their assumptions, is true until it isn’t.
It’s statistical tendencies anonymous. Drivers tend to drive at a speed which feels safe to them, regardless of the posted speed, unless it’s known speed trap. Narrowing traffic lanes -however done – does work to calm traffic and discourage speeding. You might note the the old buildings along University and Main are close to the street and have somehow survived 100 years of traffic.
Get the panhandlers away from the road. It’s a safety hazzard.
There’s was a crazy guy with a knife & a dog in the median that tried to kill a lady.
Time for operation warp speed and zero tolerance on panhandling.
If you don’t like what I say, then have the vagrant move in with you.
More proof today’s drivers are not being screened for licenses, if they even bother applying.
Once again, our unsung heroes saving lives, even shore up buildings. These guys are just the best, I have so much respect for Firemen, Paramedics, EMT’s, and Police. They do what they do, so we don’t have to.
