DAISY LANE ACCIDENTS

Accidents reported at Council Meeting on May 18, 2006

* A 15 year old girl was hit by a car & killed as she walked on Daisy Lane in the 600 block toward Grantline Road. The car hit her and hit a utility pole in the next yard.

* A mailbox on Daisy Lane was torn down so many times that the owner replaced it in 5 feet of concrete. Within a month, a car hit the mailbox and knocked the concrete into the yard next door.

* A 21 year old young man was killed on Daisy Lane as he leaned out the passenger side of a car his friend was driving. He smashed his head on a mailbox on narrow Daisy Lane.

* Late one night, a car crashed into a utility pole at 630 E. Daisy Lane. The radiator was crushed and all 4 doors were left hanging.

* A car tried to back out at 624 E. Daisy Lane and the driver had to drive her car into a neighbor's driveway to avoid a crash with a speeding car.

* On East Daisy Lane, the owner built a brick pond and flower containers in his front yard. He also built a brick wall there for protection. In recent years, the pond, flower boxes & brick wall have been destroyed 6 or 7 times. The last wreck in this yard on Daisy Lane was March 22, 2006.

* At 630 E. Daisy Lane, a huge maple tree in the yard was hit by a car and the owner had to pay to have it removed.

The accidents listed took place on East Daisy lane.

There have been many reports of accidents and property damage on Schell Lane which is on Daisy Lane near the planned exit for Daisy Lane Developers project of 138 units for residents.

What about the Heavy Traffic and accidents on the other 2/3 of Daisy Lanes?

Oh-yes- I just remembered---The Developer's Engineer says there is "no traffic problems."

Mr. Tucker-again, we ask you what price you place on safety and lives lost?


Freedom Of Speech Mr. Tucker would like to ask you:

How can you balance those "dollars" made in the Daisy Lane Developers Project against human lives lost and injuries?

We also feel in your reporting... you have again failed to give all the facts about this project!

Mr. Tucker, where was your Tribune reporter when these facts were read at the May 18 Council meeting?
