Residents urge city to address Walmart intersection timing and report thrown nails and rocks
Summary
During public comment, residents asked the council to re-examine the traffic light timing at the Walmart/Main Street intersection and reported repeated incidents of nails and rocks being thrown onto roads and at people; staff said they had received calls and would follow up.
During the public comment period residents raised two neighborhood concerns. One resident (speaker 4) said the traffic signal at the Walmart/Main Street intersection favors the Walmart side and causes long backups at midday; Public Works Director (speaker 6) said he had called the traffic engineer and is aware of the complaints.
Corey Mullins (speaker 11) identified himself as a permanent resident and reported finding nails on Webb Avenue that punctured his tire and said he appreciated city workers who collected them. Calvin Hayes (speaker 10) said he had endured rocks and sockets thrown at him by a neighbor, showed a picture to the council and asked for help; the chair (speaker 3) and police representatives acknowledged the complaints and said they had been informed.
Council asked staff to follow up with traffic engineering for the signal timing and directed police and public works to investigate the neighborhood nuisance reports.
