Dear Eleanore Turkington:
The trucks continue to invade Voss Road. I haven’t seen a patrol car in this area yet unless they do it while I am not here or asleep. At any rate, the trucks travelling on Voss Road, don’t seem to be reading the signs on both ends of this through way that say No Trucks Allowed.
RD Voss Road
Dear RD Voss Road:
Gripe Vine has been following up on your previous requests to stop the truck traffic on Voss Road. From what I have been able to determine, the police department is aware of truck traffic on Voss Road. In the past, the police patrol has checked out similar complaints but I would ask you to let me know if within the next several weeks, whether you either see an improvement here or the sight of a police squad car.
Dear Eleanore Turkington:
The stop sign at the corner of Brown and First Avenue is a joke! Most people float it! When motorcycles start out they always make loud noises; some cars do too. The stop sign is not really needed because Brown Street is a dead end street.
BA First Avenue
