Writer wants sign to show way Adair Co. School District campus This commentary was received earlier. We agree with Sena Schaeffer that a sign at the intersection of Dillon ST and Greensburg Street pointing traffic to Adair County High School should be a top priority for the City, as suggested by Councillor June Parson at the October 4, 2010 City Council meeting A large sign is the most economical fix to one of the relatively rare problems of GPS routing systems. This one, on Mapquest, seems to be symptomatic more of the mapping service than of the technology. -CM About: Columbia City Council Report Oct 4 2010 meeting By Sena Schaeffer I would like to comment on the problem of the erroneous directions that drivers are receiving when they are trying to reach our school addresses. They are being directed to leave Greensburg Street and to turn onto Dillon Street. The directions then send them left on Page Street., right on Terry Street, left on Center Street and left on Garrett Street toward the water tower. Go on Map Quest and use the county jail address as your starting point and the high school address as the ending point and you will find these directions. I live in Rolling Hills subdivision and I give directions several times each week to people who are looking for the street to get to the schools. I don't mind giving directions and helping people out, but this could become a bad situation since large delivery trucks are driving the narrow streets and they shouldn't even be there. Ed, I have tried several times to make the easy corrections that you suggest.(To contact Mapquest. Turns out it's not that easy. Sena Schaeffer is right. -EW) The only thing that I have gotten is an email assuring that the problem will be addressed. Nothing has been done to change this. My suggestion would be to put a sign at the corner of Greensburg and Dillon Streets pointing the direction to the schools. Maybe the drivers will read the sign and ignore the erroneous directions. Thanks, s/Sena Schaefer This story was posted on 2010-10-08 07:21:04
