city fees

Just a little rant about certain fees in this fine city we call home. I'm glad accidents are down at Brady and Kimberly because of all the cameras on the intersection. I went to pick my son up in the west end and coming home I noticed at the five points intersection that more people were turning right on red with clearly marked no turn signs in all directions. East Locust is a joke, they ought to take down the speed limit signs as they aren't working. When we go to a Maid-Rite cruise I do 40 in a 35 and everybody blows by me like I'm parked. The parking meter debate downtown is another joke. You can't go the length of 3rd or 4th street without some sort of construction barricade. How does this help the flow of traffic? While they have the barricades up at Brady and 3rd. they should save us some money and just tear down the old Hotel, the Adler and the Blackhawk, then they would have room for off street parking and not upset the traffic flow downtown.
