List Ave at E Coldspring Ln to Harford Rd has been closed to through traffic. There have been numerous auto crashes due to motorists using it as a shortcut, and so we are closing the road to through traffic indefinitely beginning Fri, Nov 18.Animanialmanac t1_iwjtw9p wrote
This is good news for that area. Thank you. How can we get this kind of help in our neighborhood? I drive by multiple car crashes every day by Caton Avenue and Benson Avenue in the southwestern part of the city. I have three pt patients from car crashes on my roster. The local leaders are gung ho about trucks trucks trucks yet do nothing to help pedestrians and car drivers. I believe there should be wider intersections and more traffic monitoring if there will be more trucks in the neighborhood from the new truck companies. I don’t feel comfortable walking around the hospital because of the numerous truck accidents, and incidents where trucks drive onto the sidewalks.
Is there a form I can complete to request a traffic study? I tried the 311 request that was denied because I didn’t have the support of the local group.

How long ago was the request denied? Do you still have the reference number?

I have the 311 references numbers, multiple reference numbers, in my desk at home. I will send them to you, thank you for the help. Like I said the local leaders love the new big trucks, my guess is those companies make campaign donations. The pedestrians, cyclists and car users suffer. Even the infrastructure suffers, street signs knocked down, areas of Caton Avenue disintegrated from the heavy trucks. I have a file of the reference numbers I can share. Thank you.

Yes; send them to us and we can at least look them up.

Thank you. I send the reference number through the messages several days ago. Did you receive it?
