During a recent government meeting, a resident raised concerns regarding traffic safety issues related to a newly established gas station on Felspar. The individual, who identified themselves as having been out of service, highlighted a problematic turning area created between Limonite and 61st Street.
According to the resident, the design of the turning area leads to confusion for drivers, as it narrows to a point, making it difficult to navigate safely. The resident reported having nearly been involved in two accidents, while a neighbor had already been hit due to the unclear traffic flow.
The resident emphasized that the current setup does not comply with traffic laws, which could exacerbate the risk of accidents. They mentioned having already discussed the issue with the city manager, indicating that steps would be taken to address the concerns raised.
This incident underscores the importance of thorough planning and community input in urban development to ensure public safety.
