Last night was the second ao®ident in one week
at the corner of Parkwest Dr;• --and; -Lower--Sacrament
Road. Traffic that is moving a-z!,45_aniles an hour
and not familiar with the r � . '
someone to turn or pull out. I recently was
nearly hit from behind while turning into Parkwest,
the driver turned off into the dirt to avoid me.
I think it is time you took a good look at the
traffic and speed or. Lower Sacramento Rd. All
we need is a turning lane, its pretty scary to
wait to make a turn when cars are coming up fast
behind you.
I was told before that it is too costly to put in
a sign, what about the cost of a life? Vsee
increases in water, electricity, we aren't asked
if its okay, so wiry not add 1.00 to every city
bill that is sent out and use the money for a
stop sign, I'm sure no one would care or even
notice.
Also, it would help if Lower Sacramento wasn't
used to sell cars, trucks and boats. Qi a week=
end it is hard to tell if a car is coming out of
Parkwest because these cars are parked along the
road, If they must use this area tc sell cars,
at least make it a mle thet they must sell on
the opposite side or not near an intersection.
Thank you_
