About a month and a half ago I wrote to you to ask for help in
getting a car removed from Del Monte Avenue, and you acted pretty
quick. The police showed up the next day! Well, I’m having that
same problem again and would like to ask for your help once
more.
“Hello Red Phone! About a month and a half ago I wrote to you to ask for help in getting a car removed from Del Monte Avenue, and you acted pretty quick. The police showed up the next day! Well, I’m having that same problem again and would like to ask for your help once more.
This car I want to report is the same one left in front of my property for more than a month, and this time it’s been there since last week and I don’t think it’s gonna be moved soon.
This car is a problem around the neighborhood, and I’m pretty sure it belongs to one of my neighbors, but they don’t use it anymore. They just park it in front of some random house for months! Isn’t there a law that prohibits a person to keep a car if they don’t use it anymore?”
Red Phone: Dear It’s Baaack, Red Phone contacted John Amos, code enforcement officer, who said your concerns are valid and you should call police.
So good caller, call 779-2101 and file that complaint.
Bicyclists vs. autos: Respect each other
“I live in the Paradise Valley neighborhood, have a girlfriend out off Uvas Road and work across the street from Specialized Bikes, so I am no stranger to the crowds of bicyclists riding those roads. But I always thought there were two main laws for bicyclists to follow.
First, they are supposed to use stop lights and signs just as if they were a vehicle, and second they are supposed to ride in single file so as to not obstruct the roadways and create dangerous situations. I don’t see them following either of those laws. It’s not so bad in town, but you get out on Uvas Road and they are riding three or four across totally obstructing the road. You are left with a choice of going 15 mph or passing illegally and dangerously. I’ve almost been hit head on by a semi that was passing bicyclists. I’d love to see a sheriff’s deputy posted at either the Uvas or the Chesbro boat launches. On second thought, make that two or three deputies with a spare ticket book. The inconsiderate bicyclists are not only an inconvenience to vehicles on those narrow country roads, but it’s a situation that is certain to cause accidents.”
Red Phone: Dear He Who Drives on Four Wheels, Red Phone has written about this subject several times, and frankly there is a simple solution. Bicyclists need to obey the rules of the road, and motorists need to be more considerate of those on two wheels. Honestly, folks. It’s not that complicated.
Respect each other.
