BURGESS ROAD MEETING COMING UP


This is my cat Precious in her box.  She loves curling up and sleeping in her secured little box.  Don't ask me why.  I would image she would say, "I feel safe here".  And, is that how we would like life to be for us, in our homes, our neighborhoods, at work and at play.  So what does Precious in her box have to do with Burgress Rd.  Will, nothing accept it is not safe.  To walk down East Burgest Rord from Davis Highway to Lanier is scary. There are no save areas to walk along Burress Rd. Many wrecks occur at the intersection of Burgess Rd. and Sanders. There have been attempts by the City and County to address the dangerous situation in this older community.  As I campaigned throughout the Burgess Road area, many residents complained about the speed of cars driving down Burgess Rd., and the lack of sidewalks.  There are many school children who walk down Burgess, Sanders St., and Lanier Street to get to Holmes Elementary.  Parents worry about their children walking these dangerous streets. I made a campagin promise to make Burgress Road improvements a top priority.
