Resident raises concert lighting and traffic safety concerns during public comment
Summary
At the July 16 meeting resident 'Kenny' praised a recent concert but asked the police to explain why officers left vehicle lights on overnight, reported children riding bicycles near the field during concerts, and raised safety worries about heavy trucks and wrong-way driving on Mulberry Street; the chief said staff would investigate.
During the public-comment portion of the July 16 meeting, a resident who identified himself as Kenny thanked the council for the concert but asked the police chief to explain why officers left squad-car lights on overnight at the field and questioned patrol placement during the event. Kenny also said heavy trucks frequently use Mulberry Street and that drivers often travel the wrong way on a one-way street, asking officials to consider larger signs or enforcement.
The chief (represented at the meeting) said staff would look into the concerns and follow up. "We'll look into it," the chief was recorded saying when asked about truck traffic and patrol presence. Council members suggested options including enforcement visibility and improved signage.
