City resident laments unsafe streets amid parking rule clash
City resident Collum, a single mother on Windsor Drive, criticized a new parking ordinance after two of her vehicles were totaled in street collisions. She cites frequent speeding and texting by drivers, recounts a 3:30 a.m. April crash, and urges caution over housing appearances. City Council allocated hotel motel tax funds to numerous groups, with several requests approved at varying levels including CAF headquarters relocation questions and grants to cultural and arts organizations.
