Resident urges more enforcement after school-bus and e-bike safety concerns
Summary
At the second public forum resident Terry Maria thanked the city for new no-parking signs, described speeding and school-bus safety concerns on Coleman, and asked for additional police presence and monitoring after seeing children ride e-bikes in the street.
During the meeting's second public forum, resident Terry Maria spoke about neighborhood safety issues, thanking the council for no-parking signs on Coleman but urging more enforcement against speeding and unsafe school-bus behavior.
Maria said the city's speed-monitoring device on Coleman is collecting data but asked whether the city will act on it. "They're not stopping or they're just going over the speed limit," Maria said of bus and other drivers, adding concerns for children in the area.
Maria also reported seeing children riding e-bikes in the middle of streets and asked the council for increased police presence near schools and neighborhoods to protect children. The mayor thanked Maria for the comments and the second public forum closed without council deliberation; such items may be referred to city staff or returned to council at a future meeting.
