Laughing My Ass Off Department…

Most laughable statement ever made in Peoria….

Residential 25 mph speed limit 'not enforceable'

WTF!  Maybe it’s time we the people make these big brained people on our council wear red noses and big floppy shoes.  Gonna act like a clown, then you should dress like one or at least pull your head out of your ass long enough to get some fresh air.

We get what we elect and I guess since some districts send back the same council persons every election cycle, we should expect this mindless crap.

OK, the police can enforce a 30 mph speed limit on Sheridan Rd, which they do radar from time to time and they can do the same for Main St but not a 25 mph limit on any street.  Huh.

Well, about 5 years ago when I took up a petition from my neighbors asking the city to reduce our limits from 30 to 25 mph, not only did the council authorize the lower speed limit, I requested and got the police to radar the street in question because school children from a nearby middle school walked this side walk less street everyday. Yeah, we still have streets in the south end without any sidewalks.  The police wrote tickets and after about 3 weeks, traffic through the neighborhood slowed.  Word got out. 

So, now the city says neighborhoods will have to request the lower limits if they want them and they are not enforceable.   Wow, I wish I had what they are smoking at city hall. 

Here’s an idea.  Police, get of your ass and do more traffic enforcement around this city.  More at least than is oblivious to the average citizen.  People ignore traffic lights, they ignore speed limit signs, they ignore any sign like, NO LEFT TURN at Moss and Western because some assbag is always turning left in front of me there. (In fact I hope the old lady that turned in front of me against the sign, then flipped me the finger fails her next license exam.)  You can see burnt out brake lights at EVERY intersection and cars with one headlight. (I pass one every morning on the way to work for the last 3 months with one headlight)

Here, when you pull these clowns over you will most likely find your wanted criminals, your drugs, guns, and, here’s a surprise, people who don’t even have a license.  Think about it. Extra revenue from the tickets.  Catching wanted criminals who are mobile anyway because how often do you read in the paper that a car fired shots at a group of people and just maybe people will drive safer, slower,and I won’t get the finger from a grandma making an illegal left turn in front of me.

Naw, too fuckin simple.

BTW, to the City, please fix the damn light at Main and Maplewood. It changes for no reason and stops traffic on Main.  No pedestrians, no cars, no nothing, just turns red and backs up traffic.  No wonder brake lights burn out.
