Talk calming takes a chill.

I know the crews have been busy, and they are understaffed, and they constantly have to
try to keep other people's promises. Usually from people just trying to quiet others down
get out of the room, and maybe they will forget.

So, crews you have been marvelous but the phone was ringing off the hook today with...

scattered all over the place.

It is unreasonable to think that plow drivers can avoid these in the middle of the night.

This is what many said...

Out of everyone that called, no one said, "Those darn plow drivers..." They all said, "How foolish is it to place
anything in the road when we have plows half the year." I would have to agree with the point.

Now imagine they were concrete!

While Mike Summers, Tom Bullock, MLM, and others at City Hall appear to have lost their way, it appears that there will be a discussion on the "traffic-calming study" soon.

Let's hope this was a real study and not just another faux study conducted by City Hall & Friends.

I can just picture Mike Summers sitting on a chair on the street corner with a clipboard.

Stay tuned.
