Subject: On 06-18-96 at 8:17 p.m. I worked an accident at
Southwestern Blvd. and Freeport Pkwy. This area has had several
accident in the past. The cause of the accident are trucks
trying to make a turn north onto Freeport Pkwy from Southwestern
Blvd.. The trucks run over the curb and hit the rocks that have
been placed there by TSTI 652 Southwestern Blvd.. I spoke with
the owner of TSTI, and he stated the rocks are there to protect
the gas main on the corner. I request that your department draw
a plan to resolve the problem. I would suggest either a "no
right turn" or have the gas company move the gas main. Another
solution would be redesigning the intersection to allow trucks to
make a safe turn. In the accident that occurred on 06-18-96, the
loss of property was in excess of $3000.00 to the truck, and
$200.00 to the landscape rocks. This memorandum comes at the
request of the police administration, and a response would be
appreciated. If I can be of any assistance in this matter please
contact me.
