Roy Jenkins-227 Cedargrove Road
asked for sidewalks to be considered on Hwy 480C he said there is no where to get off the road if on a bike or walking and there is a lot of semi and large truck traffic.  Mayor suggested that the council go by and look at this situation.

 

Ronald Akridge-235 Beechgrove Road-he first asked about when was

Gene Hatzell Road
from 44 to the river reopened.  He then asked about the closing of
Salt River Plant Road
.  Ms. Cline responded by saying that the city had received a petition with all of the people on Salt River Plant Road signing it requesting it be closed due to the safety of the families that live there.  She said there are several families with small children and a lot of speeding going on and that the road was not in very good shape.  He said with only 4 families on that road did the city take into consideration the people on
Beechgrove Road
 and how the closing would affect them?  Ms. Portman responded that the city posted a sign advising the residents of
Beechgrove Road
 of the closing.  Ms. Akridge responded by saying the sign was there after the decision was made and it did not indicate that the closing would be temporary or permanent.  Ms. Enlow and Mayor Tinnell both responded that the city is in the process of a transportation study in that area and that it should be completed in early November.  They will know more about want needs to be done in that area after the study is complete.

 

John  Eddington Jr.-572 Beechwood Avenue-Point Subdivision-reported that the drainage work that had been done in the subdivision by city employees has caused water to back up and stand around his house.  He said the City hauled 16 loads of dirt to a neighbors and it has caused the water to run off onto his property.  Attorney Bill Wilson advised him that he is working on an open records request made by Mr. Eddington and that if he will wait until he completes the request, perhaps he will have all of his questions answered.  Ms. Portman said she is familiar with the situation and feels there is a problem.  Ms. Cline agreed.  She said she feel the drainage committee needs to take another look at it.
