City of Bellemeade

Put a 4-way stop at the two places that Dorchester and Southampton interesect North Chadwick since you don't want any more speed humps.  I suggested that a few days ago in a relevant topic but somehow it got pushed off the page.

We still have the speeders; mayor you saw them first hand again today.  When are we going to get relief instead of "looking into it" or nothing at all.  That black one was doing at keast 60 wasn't it?

I could go for Stop signs.

I have talked with Henry about it.

I don't know about 60 but at least 45 or 50. He just missed hitting me.

Yes, I saw that you came very close to getting hit.  Welcome to North Chadwick Road.  Every day we unnecessarily encounter what you did.  We deal with it when we are turning the mower around at the edge of our yard, when we get our mail out of the box, when we try to get in and out of our driveway, when we cross the street to visit a neighbor, when we walk down the street for exercise.  What you briefly encountered when you nearly were hit and the feeling you were left with are precisely why we have been so upset that nothing has been done to allevaite the danger. 

You are an adult and more aware of your surroundings.  Suppose one of the children down here had been where you were.  ?????????????

OK,  OK!  I had stopped posting because it seemed that Larry was so something, cavalier, arrogant, short-sighted, hard-headed, to hear what more than one resident of this small city were saying.  Seemingly, he was going to do things his way or no way.  I bet he is well versed on all kinds of topics now that he has looked into so many of them.  He was a pretty good mayor at first when he didn't know anything.  But now that he has gained a bit of knowledge, he knows EVERYTHING> and everyone else knows nothing. 

It hs been so very disappointing that he or someone on the City Commission has not displayed enough leadership to even attempt to fix a major speeding problem.  It has been kinda like don't feed it and maybe it will go away  He copped out by saying that some residents questioned spending tax money for speed bumps.  Hogwash!!  You gotta do what you gotta do!  Lots of people questioned, and still do, spending tax money for trees to be planted on private property, but our City Commission does it anyhow and Larry crows about it like a rooster.

Stop signs!  Stop signs?  You ARE kidding me?  If we can't get police presence to enforce the speed limit or patrol the area. who shall we count on to ticket those who will run the stop signs?  Wonder how many people will get rear-ended at those stop signs?  It appears that Bellemeade and the other  little cities are somewhat in the same position of a redheaded stepchild.

It appears that our city government can't, or won't,  take care of the major things and to have a degree of success they can point to, they plant trees and say, "Oh, how beautiful our Tree City is!"  Yes, I even rememer one hair-brained project proffered by someone to require uniformity of mailboxes. And the fiasco of someone warning people to not park on the grass.

We need Law Enforcement starting with citing speeders.  Since that can not be done on a twenty four hour daily basis, make it difficult for them to speed.  How?  Oh come on, can you spell  "S  P  E  E  D   H U M P?"  On the flip side, try spelling degredation if we don't start dealing with the obvious defiances of the law such as 25MPH.  A tiny cavity results in the loss of a tooth and even heart disease if not treated.
