Signal actions warrant scrutiny
The former chief of the police department of Signal Mountain, who is now the town manager of the city (despite zero experience in such a position), decided unilaterally to place the first-ever speed bumps on a residential street in the town. The installation of the speed bumps occurred soon after the election of our new Town Council, and the bumps just happened to be placed on either side of one of the newly elected councilman’s best friend’s driveway.
Mind you, not one significant accident has occurred on this section of road. The street is well patrolled, and there are already three stop signs along this quarter-mile residential stretch of road (that is one stop sign every 450 feet). Coincidence or cronyism?
Signal Mountain, tear down those speed bumps!
