Melody Pollard: applauds getting official help and planning

Comments re photo 73747 Sidewalk Meeting Pam Hoots introduces speaker from KTC

Melody Pollard writes:
I'm so glad to see Columbia-Adair County will get official consultation and planning for our future "very needed" sidewalks and bike routes. We've had a deficit here for so long! We need futuristic planning that we all can use for growth and wellness within our town. And, there are community wellness grants probably.

By the way we are in dire need of a beautiful "big" community park. I would love to see a creekside walking trail for our community with lighting and easy entry for kayaking, canoeing and tubing. After all we are a college town with lots of talented people that live in and love our community. Well, I pray and hope our community will all pitch in and also voice these needs for health and wellness.

Sincerely,
Melody Pollard

Barnett's Crk. Rd. Bridge is over Sapp Creek, a feeder stream

BJ Hagy corrects misidentification of stream crossed by the new Barnetts Creek Road Bridge.
Click on headline for latest story with photo

By BJ Hagy

Well I've held my tongue too long and it's kind of sore now. This is perhaps the third article I've seen on CM that has misidentified this new bridge's location. Yes, it is at the intersection of Barnetts Creek Road and Scott Hill Road, but it does not lead over "Barnetts Creek."

They just don't have the biplanes

Ed Pipalski writes:
The helicopter appeared to be a "crop duster" over corn fields. Thought she went down as it dived in under the treeline, but as I drive I saw it's booms out spraying over corn crops. The modern day "Barnstormers" without bi-planes. --Ed Pipalski

Trilby: Why was signage 'cross traffic does not stop' added?

About:Comments re photo 73739 Photos show point of letter mistake in signage, we think

Trilby Vance writes:
Why was the signage, "cross traffic does not stop," added to Stop signs? Stop means stop, check traffic in all directions, then proceed with caution. - Trilby Vance
Thanks: Maybe an expert in how people process information can help. Momma said, "Go clean your room," which should have been enough, but added, "And I don't mean maybe!" - EW

l.c. (lower case) anon makes a dandy point

Comments re photo 73739 Photos show point of letter mistake in signage we think l.c. anon writes:
Willenia and Linda & Ed, Is it possible the oddly placed 55mph sign is an inadvertent holdover from the pre-bypass era when the sign marked the dividing point between city and county? - anon
Very astute - And maybe the 55 mph sign could be recycled - put where it is needed, by the proper authorities. - ED
