Council embraces, but doesn't fund, idea of warning flags for motorized wheelchairs 2017-10-03 - City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Mary Ann Loy, asking that some step be taken to implement the now funded sidewalk line item budget, asked again, and got assent, for starting the Greensburg Street Sidewalk from the Joe Flowers corner at Greensburg and Dillon Street. Listening hard from the Council are Mayor Curtis Hardwick, City Attorney Marshall Loy, and Council Member Craig Lasley as well as, not visible in photo, Council Members Linda Waggener, Pam Hoots, and Mark Harris and City Clerk Rhonda Loy and in foreground, City Police Chief Jason Cross. Council Member Pam Hoots and other council members agreed that project is priority number one, and said that the City's formally appointed Sidewalk Committee would meet Tue 3 Oct 2017, to decide on a formal request for the council to approve in a subsequent, possibly called meeting. Mary Ann Loy asked that a near no cost baby step - but an important one, be implemented, with the city providing flags for motorized scooters which would make them more visible to drivers of vans, trucks and especially semis. The flags cost no more than $6 in bike shops, she said, and Barry Loy, her husband, suggested they could be purchased from Walmart online, for as little as half that (Corrected, Walmart Price wasn't mention, just that they are available at Walmart online. See link below). The council took no action on the modest proposal, but Council Member Mark Harris, at the end of the meeting, asked that the program be undertaken, even if Council Members themselves provided the money for the purchase of the flags. That seemed to be the action which might be taken. - EW. Corrections, comments, clarifications: Barry Loy Barry Loy sends correction on motorized scooter flags Permalink | Comments?
