She's faced cancer 5 times. But what she fears most? Speeders And now, "improvements" by the State Highway Department only make it easier to speed. All that was needed was a stoplight at Green Hills Road. She wants to know who can explain this waste of money for a project which wasn't needed in the first place, and actually makes a bad problem worse By Mitzi Bault Personal commentary I have been told that I have cancer 5 times. I have been taking chemo this time for over a year. Chemo I can only let God and my doctors call the shots and it is in their hands. But what I am most afraid of is going to get my mail, turning in my drive or pulling out of my driveway. Before you come across the 206 bridge coming into town you have a sign it has 35 speed limit on it. There are cars coming from Bull Run, Greenhills , 206 and from town, maybe one car out of 50 goes the speed limit. My mother, who is in her 80s, is a very good driver. She pulls out of drive on a road that is 35mph, but cars come at her very fast. My driveway is next to hers. If you are coming from town you start tapping on your brakes, turn signals and looking behind you at the old store/ church at Fairground and Waterworks Streets. Most of the drivers think we are going to turn on Greenhills Road, but we are not. Our drive is off Fairground Street; we have a sharp turn onto McKinley Lane. Each of my family at some time or more has had a car, a big truck, or a school bus on our rear, which, if we had not gone across Mom`s lot, would have run over us. About a year ago I was maybe eight feet from my mail box, watching for cars coming from town and an Adair County dump truck with a load of gravel was going out of town up KY 206 so fast that gravel came off the truck and broke the skin on my arm. Now the State has taken a large part of my Mother`s and the Irvin's yard. No, we are not getting a turning lane onto Greenhills Road. They are going to make it so cars can see better. Our state is spending a lot of money, that we could use for other things, and are making it easier for cars to go faster!!! All we needed was a stop light. We have had days that we could not get out of our drive. Dirt we cannot see over or around blocks our view. Now we are having our road closed for a few weeks. We do not know how we are going to get in or out of our drive or get our mail. Our city gas men were so nice. They came to our hourseand asked what we used our gas for and to see if we could get along without it. All of Jr. Stotts crew but one tried to get things done with cars and trucks flying by. And yes, Mr.Stone, I am sorry that I blamed your guys for going off and leaving us with no water, when it was not your guys who did it. To those who read this: When you are going out of town or in town on KY 206/Fairground Street, PLEASE SLOW DOWN. I do not want my family or yours hurt or killed. - Mitzi This story was posted on 2013-07-23 09:50:48
