The headline below appeared in recent news concerning attacks on local power substations:
This emphasizes the fact that security cameras don’t just help their owners directly but can also help our community. Hopefully there will be enough cameras around the vandalized substations that they will have caught the vandals in action and provide clues for the police to be able to apprehend them.
One of our neighbors sent me an e-mail about the fact that many people are ignoring the stop signs in the intersection of 136th and Military Rd. They sent me a picture of the license plate of a vehicle who as they said “Blew through the intersection without even a momentary pause”. We are not posting the picture of the license plate because it is out of context. However if you wish to see the license plate of the car we know ran the stop sign, send me an e-mail to kahalljr@comcast.net and I will send the picture to you.
These stop signs are there for our safety. Cars coming from the valley on Military Rd are difficult to spot before they reach the intersection because of the curving, downward path of the road. Before the stop signs were installed I was almost nailed a couple of times by cars coming up from the valley.
Please don’t ignore the stop signs at the intersection of 136th and Military Rd. The wreck you don’t have is the best kind.
The pictures below were taken from the driver’s position at the stop sign on 136th Ave E. Notice how limited the sight line is from 136th to Military Rd E where Military Rd E is coming up from the valley (middle picture). Please note also the ALL WAY notation on the stop sign.
