This might sound snarky but it is not intended to be that way, BUT, I sure hope they plan on adding to the police force in numbers. Aggressive driving is becoming a big problem, and we have hardly any representation during peak times and non peak on the Sumner side. In fact I don’t see a lot over on Robertson either when I come through. Robertson is different, you can sit a police car on 76 and it will generally be seen by many. Sumner is limited but the speeds are much faster and they are brazen in their behavior, last night literally three feet off of our back bumper once we hit the 35 mph on Tyree Springs. It’s difficult even making a right on to our road without running the risk of being hit. You can’t keep adding head counts and not increase protection at the same time. I know they’ve added, but it’s not coming quick enough in my opinion. Something I guess I’ll have to voice at a meeting.
Excellent reporting as usual. I remember when Corbitt was running for mayor he said something like 5,000 homes are already on the books approved, but only 1,800 have been started. I guess we're seeing the other 3,200 starting to move. I sure hope the additional tax revenue covers the necessary infrastructure improvements!
Yep, 1100 of those are on my road. Only about 400 are built. The tax revenue isn't enough which is why the tax increase is coming for the 6 road projects. It's a mess and this board is on clean up committee. At least they are all asking the right questions now.
