My alderperson, Jill Marks, has never answered a single email or telephone call I've sent since she took office. Her email address and voice mail are a black hole. I've also talked with the police district manager, but no follow-up. I've had so many close calls pulling out of my drive. I've tried hard to get action on this, so, yes, eventually, I will leave the problem behind.

Jill frequently attends the WEB management team meetings. Best to find her in person. Do you know about them?

She should be accessible by email and phone.

Yes, I do know about them. I went once. Jill came a half hour late. I'll try again this month. She has never answered my emails or phone messages. She's not accessible. I don't know what she's ever done for this area, but she won't be getting my vote ever again. Hope someone else runs.

We need traffic cameras. Too many times drivers will turn on red regardless of what the signs posted said. This is an ongoing hazard for those who like to walk and bike to work. Having to worry about distracted drivers and right turns on restricted corners is stressful. Whalley and Ellsworth is a prime example.

Yes, and drivers constantly turn on red in this city without even stopping or looking to see if there are pedestrians. As a walker, and elderly, I'm continually on edge. Yes, we need traffic cameras at the intersections, and I have brought this up with the police at community meetings, but nothing happens. Our alder, Jill Marks, is asleep, just collecting her $8,000 a year doing nothing.

Alders only make about $1,800 a year not $8,000

This issue was recategorized from Traffic/Road Safety to Complete Streets Request.

Still continuing. A car raced around me, almost hitting me, as I pulled out of my drive yesterday. I'm in the middle of the block, and he was not even on the street when I started pulling out. How fast does a car have to go to get half-way from Whalley to Goffe in a few seconds? The problem still is: not enough police patrolling anywhere in this city.

You may want to contact the police district manager

To XYZ: How many times have I contacted the police district manager?!

In answer to your question, until something gets done. Posting here is not working.

OK, posting here is worthless. So is calling the police. And so is calling the alder. Hopeless.

If you really feel this way you have two choices which are the following:
1. Learn to live with it.
2.Move

There is one more choice, XYZ:
3. Keep up the pressure.
