Council member urges residents to report stop-sign and intersection problems near schools
Summary
Council members said patrols have increased on highways near schools but residential streets still have safety problems; they told residents to call and leave location-specific complaints because enforcement is complaint-driven.
A Council member said the city has seen increased patrols on the highways adjacent to school zones but urged residents to report recurring problems on slower, residential streets so deputies can focus enforcement where it is needed.
"If you consistently see an issue in a location, especially having to do with stop signs or intersections, you can call and leave a message and just say, this is my concern area, and they can, patrol in that area," the Council member said, adding that most local enforcement is complaint-driven. The council member noted deputies were present in the meeting and encouraged callers to include specific location details to help patrol assignment.
The remarks followed audience comments about vendor placement and traffic near schools. The council did not announce any immediate policy changes at the meeting but confirmed that documenting concerns via calls creates a record that can prompt targeted patrols and potential ordinance enforcement.
