Resident urges clearer lane markings on East Outer Road and asks for trash disposal options
Summary
Bonnie Hines told the Grandview City Council she is concerned about heavy traffic and faded lane markings on East Outer Road near Blue Ridge and Highway 71, and asked whether the city can provide a place for residents to dispose of community-collected trash before the city’s April cleanup days.
Bonnie Hines, a resident at 12524 Ewing Avenue, spoke during public comment to urge the council to address safety on East Outer Road and to ask about options for disposing of community-collected trash.
Hines said traffic has increased near the Raptor facility, sometimes backing up to the underpass, and described multiple lanes merging near Blue Ridge and Highway 71. "The markings on the road that delineate 1 row from 1 lane from the other are basically not there anymore," she told the council, saying faded markings make it hard for drivers to tell lanes apart.
Hines also raised litter concerns. She said she and her husband collected three large bags of trash near 120 Fifth but had no place to dispose of the extra material because she has only one container at home. She said when she went to city hall previously she was told to wait until the city's cleanup days in April and asked whether the city offers a disposal option for residents who collect community trash outside of those cleanup days. The transcript records the request but does not record a staff response or a council directive addressing the disposal question.
No formal action or follow-up direction was recorded in the meeting transcript for either the lane-marking or trash-disposal items.
