Resident urges city action after long-standing oversized vehicle parked on Ridgecrest Drive blocks sightlines
Summary
At the council's audience comment period, resident Tom Roman described a 36‑foot motor home and a 40‑foot enclosed trailer parked on Ridgecrest Drive for several years, saying they create sightline hazards near Whitaker School and asking the city to follow up.
During audience comments at the Aug. 12 Clinton City Council meeting, resident Tom Roman raised a public-safety concern about an oversized motor home and an enclosed trailer parked on Ridgecrest Drive near Whitaker School.
Roman said the vehicles have been parked near the corner for about three years and that they restrict sightlines, creating a dangerous condition for drivers and children walking or bicycling in the neighborhood. He said he had contacted police previously and that officers issued a ticket years earlier but the vehicles remain; he asked for city action. The council asked Roman to provide contact information on the yellow comment card; staff (the city engineer) said they would have the appropriate department follow up with the resident.
No formal council action was taken during the meeting; staff indicated follow-up would be handled through the appropriate department.
