Resident urges commissioners to install speed bump on John B. Gordon Spur
Summary
A resident, Mike Birdsong, urged the board to install a speed bump on John B. Gordon Spur to address late-night speeding, loud vehicles and safety concerns for children and animals; he said log trucks, ATVs and others use the short spur at high speed.
Mike Birdsong addressed the Upson County Board of Commissioners during public comment to request a speed bump on John B. Gordon Spur to curb late-night speeding and loud vehicles that he said make conditions unsafe near his home.
"I'm Mike Birdsong. I live on 97 John B Gordon Spur... I'm trying to get a speed bump to slow this stuff down," Birdsong said, describing repeated late-night traffic, trucks, ATVs and loud mufflers passing his short spur. He told the board he has spoken to Commissioner Biggs previously about the issue and asked the county to take steps to slow traffic.
Board members acknowledged the request and noted the county would take the concern under advisement. The resident's remarks focused on neighborhood safety for people, children and animals and asked for traffic-calming measures on the short spur that leads back to the highway.
