Joe,
I won't be at meeting but I am concerned. Living off Millcreek Road, I drive through the intersection, usually more than once a day, and have worried that those crashing the stop sign coming down Stoney Batter Road or those turning left onto Stoney Batter from Millcreek will fail to yield and hit me. The latter happened in 2003 and my Subaru was totaled by a PT Cruiser that failed to yield. The other driver was ticketed although she blamed me and we both went to the hospital. I was OK but shaken up and worried about bruising as I am on blood thinner. I was OK but she stayed in the hospital. I think the intersection needs fixing but am concerned that if the yield is removed and those coming from my part of Millcreek must stop that it will be a pain during rush hour. For the time being, I would like to see better policing at the intersection. A spotter at the intersection reporting by radio to police the license numbers of those crashing the stop sign (almost half do) to flag the offenders into the ball field parking lot to ticket them should cut the accident frequency down when word gets out. When Steve Wood lived here, I believe they got speed traps set up in front of Heather Valley. I've seen cars driving 50 mph in the 25 mph zone. Thanks for your time and the good job you are doing. Regards, Frank Logullo |

Yes, I sent it while in the ng section of Thunderbird and it went out to the group as well as my state rep. When I looked into my email sent file, it was not there but it was in sent local folders and I realized my mistake. I resent it to Joe as it did not have my full Comcast address.

Joe is a good man and will get my comments included in the study. |

Regards, Frank Logullo Hello Mr. Logullo, I am Stoney Splatter Police Chief Nailem relying to your concerns. I have checked into the accident records of the intersection you mentioned. The stop signs you indicate that are in place must have been installed prior to my tenure as a warrant for them is not satisfied. What would you like done to improve this intersection? More signs, a blinking light or a state of the art traffic control system including preemption, walkways and man- hands? Reply with your decision as you are required to pay 75% of the cost. Other improvements made on the roadway may help offset the cost. We do not have the money in the budget at this time to accomplish this. We are happy we were able to handle your crash in a manner suitable to you. We welcome these side jobs as it can be quite busy at times from: rolling up the sidewalks, burglaries, alarms, domestic disputes, aided cases, jaywalking, bad checks, credit card and INTERNET fraud, arson, moon shining, bar fights, drug usage, stolen livestock or vehicles and traffic violators. I will have an officer monitor this intersection for violators and no officer discretion will be allowed. -- Chief Howie Nailem SSPD |
