Last night’s city council meeting featured
an agonizing discussion of the weight limits on trucks in town, the truck route, and how to keep trucks on it.
Ironically enough, after the
meeting was over, I got on my bike, rode up town hill, and just as I arrived
to the grade school corner a Jim Like cattle transport with a lime green cab,
was in the process of turning.
To do so, the driver had to make
the widest arc possible—if there had been any cars parked on the west side of
Tyler St., it would not have been doable. He was obliged to use the
whole street to make the turn, and still
dragged the back wheels of the 18-wheeler over the curb & gutter repaired in early May.
At the time, I was wondered
publicly who pays for this? Clearly, taxpayers of Cascade, and we don’t even
have the use of the parking in some places because it must be left open for these turns. It seems Council needs to take the rights of the people who pay taxes
