The civic league is aware of several construction sites within our neighborhood and especially along Marlin Bay Drive. These changes bring an influx of vehicles into our (often narrow) streets. Coupled with the height of summer visitors to the beach and boat ramp, we are in close contact with our city representatives to push for compliance to existing safety requirements.
Concerning construction trucks traveling through the neighborhood very recently, there was correspondence between Councilman Schulman and Public Works Director LJ Hansen. Director Hansen explains:
“The contractor has a flagman at the entrance who directs the trucks down Marlin Bay. Our understanding is that there have been a handful of trucks (due to the truck drivers’ failure to follow instruction) that have deviated. They are being corrected when they return. I apologize for the inconvenience but given the large number of trucks, this very low number is quite remarkable.”
While this does bring congestion, we urge our neighbors be mindful of practicing safe street practices and report specific concerns or violations.
