From YouTube: Dearborn Heights Study Session - 11/29/22
Description
The Dearborn Heights Study Session for Dearborn Heights Schools’
Traffic Assessment taking place Tuesday, November 29th 2022 in the Dearborn Heights Council Chambers and via Zoom.
A
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
and
welcome
to
6
p.m,
study
session,
Dearborn,
Heights
schools,
traffic
assessment
today
is
Tuesday,
November,
29
2022.
and
basically,
as
a
council
body,
we
decided
to
put
this
study
session
together.
So
we
could
bring
all
the
powers
they
be,
whether
it's
people
from
within
the
city
different,
maybe
department
heads
we
have
our
mayor
here.
We
have
our
City
attorney
here.
Our
engineering
director
Mr
Davis
here
our
police
chief,
is
here
and
of
course,
also
wanted
to
have
members
of
the
audience
achieve.
A
A
lot
of
it
comes
down
to
also
the
residents
themselves.
I'm
talking
about
the
adults
that
drive
to
be
a
lot
more
careful,
I
I,
see
it
all
the
time
around
the
schools
of
different
people,
sometimes
kids
crossing,
sometimes
adults,
driving
texting
on
the
phone,
not
paying
attention.
So
that's
what
this
particular
meeting
is
all
about.
Now
is
this
meeting
going
to
solve
everything?
A
A
Now,
to
begin
with
what
I'm
gonna
do
I
asked
Chief
heart
to
go
up,
because
obviously
this
is
traffic
situation,
so
a
lot
of
it
starts
with
the
police
department
and
then
we'll
go
on
and
see
which
different
department
ads
would
like
to
have
a
comment,
including
some
of
the
residents
I'll.
Give
you
guys
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
speak,
but
I
have
the
chief
start.
The
conversation,
if
you
don't
mind,
Chief
heart.
A
C
So
32
years
of
law
enforcement
grew
up
next
door
here
in
Taylor
and
still
today.
Many
of
the
concerns
that
we
receive
at
the
police
department
from
our
residents
are
concerns
about
people
speeding
down
their
streets
disobeying,
stop
signs
cutting
through
traffic
ways,
so
we
have
a
limited
number
of
resources
to
deploy
in
those
areas
and
our
traffic
Bureau
tracks
those
complaints
and
then
makes
them
a
priority
for
our
traffic
safety
program
here.
So
we
continue
through
over
three
decades
of
law
enforcement.
Experience
myself
is
we
see
the
same.
C
C
It
can't
always
be
somebody
else.
That's
speeding,
that's
texting
and
driving
I
see
people
face
timing
when
I'm
driving
down
I-94
to
work.
It
can't
always
be
somebody
else.
It
starts
with
each
one
of
us
and
our
responsibility
to
each
other
to
obey
all
of
the
various
traffic
control
orders
that
are
in
our
communities,
whether
we're
here
in
Dearborn,
Heights
or
we're,
driving
through
Dearborn
or
Radford
or
other
communities.
C
Really
we
have
a
tremendous
responsibility
for
those
that
are
around
us
to
ensure
that
we're
following
the
rules
that
we're
driving
the
speed
limit
right.
So
certainly,
we've
had
the
tragic
death
of
of
Joey,
which
that
kicked
off
conversations
with
the
mayor
and
our
school
superintendents,
and
we
had
our
second
meeting
last
Tuesday.
It
lasted
almost
two
and
a
half
hours
with
a
conversation
with
our
school
superintendents
and
other
stakeholders.
We
had
a
couple
of
attorneys
involved
and
the
Inkster
police
department
was
there
about.
C
How
can
we
start
to
look
at
a
very
serious
manner
in
the
safety
around
our
schools?
Our
schools
are
in
our
neighborhoods
and
there's
those
arrival
and
dismissal
times
since
I've
been
here.
We've
had
some
very
close
calls
thank
God.
They
were
you
know,
minor
incidents
and
school
parking
lots,
but
nonetheless
they
could
have
been
tragic.
Just
like
Joey's
death
was
right
and
these
things
impact
me
to
my
core
and
the
other
women
and
men
at
the
police
department
that
are
charged
with
keeping
our
community
safe.
C
Please
correct
me
if,
if
you
know
I'm
speaking
out
a
turn
here,
but
isn't
that
very
sad
that
10
to
15
percent
of
the
people
are
going
to
continue
to
engage
in
unsafe
driving
practices
around
our
children
and
throughout
our
community.
So
that's
what
we're
doing
we're
deploying
some
additional
resources
around
our
schools.
C
I've
made
it
clear
in
Communications
to
staff
and
one
thing
that
we're
also
looking
because
it's
not
just
around
our
schools
and
I
know
that's
our
topic
tonight,
but
taking
a
data-driven
approach
to
both
crime
and
traffic
safety
within
our
community
things
that
that
we're
going
to
start
looking
at
here
at
the
police
department
moving
forward.
One
of
the
reasons
that
I
know
that
Chuck
is
here
and
Chuck
from
the
Transportation
Improvement
Association
I
know.
C
In
my
background
letter
to
city
council,
when
I
recommended
that
we
contract
with
Tia,
which
is
a
very
reputable
firm,
that
of
Traffic
Engineers,
they
know
the
Michigan
manual
on
uniform
traffic
control
devices.
I,
don't
that's
a
that's
kind
of
a
specialty
traffic
engineering.
There's
three
E's
that
we
like
to
say
in
in
law
enforcement
to
Traffic
Safety,
there's
the
engineering
that
goes
behind
the
design
of
a
roadway,
the
design
of
a
subdivision,
curb
cutouts
and
whatever
it
may
be.
Then
there's
an
educational
piece
which
I
feel
the
police
department
plays.
Definitely
a
role
in.
C
That's
why
we
engage
in
Safety,
Town
and
other
things,
and
and
put
out
social
media
posts
about
traffic
safety,
and
then
the
last
one,
of
course,
is
enforcement.
So
when
we
contract
with
Tia
and
our
partners
there
that
are
Traffic
Engineers,
that's
why
they're
on
the
call
this
evening
is
that's
an
area
of
expertise.
That's
outside
of
what
the
role
of
a
police
officer
is
so
I
appreciate.
Council's
support
on
that.
C
A
A
We
just
experience
why
what
has
worked
in
addition
to,
of
course,
thicketing
people,
what
what
items
I'm
kind
of
like
physical
items
have
worked
in
terms
of
having
better
traffic
situations
around
the
schools,
but
before
you
answer
that,
if
you
could
give
me
a
second
I'd,
also
like
to
present
a
lot
of
different
school
board
members,
all
of
them
were
invited
throughout
the
city
and
I
see
different
members
of
the
district.
Seven
and
that's
what's
cool
or
there's
a
couple
different
School
boards
here.
So
thank
you
very
much.
E
D
As
a
councilman
I've,
been
you
know,
sitting
in
court
cases,
I
go
sit
with
the
magistrate.
I
watch
things
happening.
What
I
don't
understand
is
how
we
do
the
punishment
side.
We
give
fines
instead
of
giving
the
fine
and
the
points
making
people
re
you
know
and
and
to
me,
schools
are
very
important.
Double
the
fines.
No
going
to
the
magistrates.
D
I
got
a
clean
record,
hey
look
at
it,
you're
you're,
going
too
fast
in
a
school
zone,
you
don't
stop
at
stop
sign
and
and
and
and
they
need
to
be,
it
needs
to
be
put
out
there.
You
hit
them
in
a
pocketbook.
Make
them
be
aware
somewhere
along
the
line.
We
as
a
society
have
lost
the
idea
of
being
friendly
in
a
car.
You
don't
you
know,
somebody's
got
their
turn
signal
in
you.
D
Don't
let
them
in
what's
backing
off
and
let
someone
in
and
be
nice
instead
of
having
a
guy
forced
or
a
woman
Force
themselves
in
to
that
spot
because
they
need
to
get
there.
You
know
the
state
of
Michigan
has
dropped
the
exams
that
we
used
to
get
every
four
years
or
so
on
drivers.
So
so
you
know
the
rules
of
the
road
know
what
the
signs
are.
We've
lost,
all
of
that.
D
It
goes
on
and
on
and
on
and
to
me
it's
an
it's.
The
it
comes
down
to
the
Judiciary
side,
where
they
need
to
start
finding
people
and
putting
the
points
on
their
record.
So
they
they.
You
know
you
pay
for
it
and
maybe
that'll
make
them
think.
I
I,
don't
see
any
other
way
other
than
the
people
themselves,
even
even
the
parents
that
are
picking
your
kids
up
at
the
schools
are
not
re.
D
D
D
But
to
me
you
got
to
start
hitting
people
in
the
pocketbook
and
make
them
making
them
aware
that
they
need
to
obey
the
law,
because
if
we
had
a
policeman
everywhere
there's
a
problem,
we
would
never
have
a
break-in.
We
would
never
have
any
shootings,
we
would
never
have
any
Speeders.
We
wouldn't
have
anything
because
a
cop
would
be
there
all
the
time
that's
impossible
to
do.
It
starts
with
us
as
people
and
and
I
think
our
city
needs
to
have
our
our
judges
and
our
magistrate
stop
giving
breaks.
D
Stop
giving
the
breaks.
We've
lost
a
wife
now,
a
child,
a
young
child.
You
can't
replace
that
ever
so.
That's
how
I
feel
about
it.
I
mean
we
got
to
start
making
people
aware
and
and
I'm
included
on
that
too,
because
you
know
I'd
sit
there
and
I'm
Dr
daydreaming
when
I
drive
too
okay
and
so
man,
you
I,
can't
believe
I
just
did
that.
F
A
A
G
You
yeah,
first
of
all,
if
I
have
to
address
the
chief
I
want
to
acknowledge.
We
also
have
in
the
audience
Tabitha
Kerr
a
mother
of
Liliana,
the
author
of
liliana's
law.
Her
daughter
was
tragically
killed
by
a
lunch
table.
It'll
be
six
years.
This
January
coming
up
she's
here
with
us
now
me
and
councilman
musk
are
on
the
same
page.
That's
one
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
bring
up.
G
C
Into
that
is
something
that
I
would
have
to
work
with
Mr
Farina
to
determine
who's
resp,
who
sets
the
court
fines
generally.
So
our
involvement
is
issuing
the
violation
right
and
then
taking
copious
notes
and
then
showing
up
the
officer
showing
up
to
testify
in
court
a
lot
of
the
things
that
chair,
Pro,
tem
Muscat
spoke
about
very
passionately
as
far
as
the
judges,
that's
outside
of
my
control
and
I
learned
as
a
young
police
officer
to
try
not
to
control
those
things
that
are
outside
of
our
control.
But
we
can.
C
We
certainly
have
conversations
with
our
judges.
I
find
our
judges
are
very
good
people
and
to
have
that
conversation
with
them
and
let
them
know
how
the
community
feels
about
this
topic
of
traffic
safety
and
relay
that
message
to
them.
So
that
is
something
that
I
would
have
to
work
with.
Mr
Farina
determine
who's,
setting
the
the
fines
and
costs
at
our
court.
Okay,.
H
Can
also
add,
as
a
consequence
which
I
find
effective
is
the
state
you
can
have
them
go
to
safe
driving
classes,
and
you
can
ask
a
petition
to
have
that
class
focused
specifically
I,
think
on
schools,
school
zones,
school
buses,
it's
usually
a
four
hour
class
and
the
courts
require
them
as
part
of
a
condition
of
paying
a
fine
and
it's
a
pain
in
the
net
to
go,
sit
there
for
four
hours,
but
they
track
you
to
report
you
those.
What
was
the
Muscat
said,
but
you
can.
H
You
can
add
in
there
that
the
state
and
even
the
city
come
up
with
specific
guidelines
on
how
to
approach
a
school
zone,
stop
sign
and
make
the
tests
more
concrete
and
they
don't
pass
the
test.
They
got
to
go
back
and
do
it
again
and
I
think
that's
the
way
you
force
someone
to
sit
for
a
Saturday
morning
or
during
the
week
for
four
hours
and
you
go
through
the
classes
and
it's
a
requirement
by
the
court.
In
addition
to
the
funds.
G
G
I
know,
but
that's
that's
after
the
that's
after
they
got
a
ticket
after
they
were
speeding,
we
have
to
keep
them
from
speeding.
That's
our
that's
I
think
our
goal
is
keep
them
from
speed
and
keep
them
from
getting
tickets,
keep
them
from
reckless
driving
and
that's
I
think
that's
our
goal
here,
not
to
how
we're
going
to
punish
them,
even
though
I
brought
it
up,
but
I
think
our
main
thing
is
to
keep
them
from
committing
the
crime.
In
the
first
place,.
A
E
If
you're,
the
parent
driving
and
to
drop
the
child
off
late
to
school
and
they're
they're
they're,
you
know
around
any
school
there's:
just
parents
are
rushing
to
drop
the
children
off
and
and
and
so
that's
a
particular
issue.
As
far
as
you
know,
these
tragedies
like
happened
with
the
young
man.
You
know
just
a
few
blocks
from
my
house.
It's
it's,
but
but
as
far
as
I
mean
I
can
say
firsthand
you
know
police
officers
or
courts.
E
I'm
sure
everybody
I'm
sure
our
City
attorney
knows
probably
25
years
ago
that
then
Southgate
District,
Court,
Judge
Donald
neitzel
helped
devise
in
in
all
the
district
courts.
What
used
to
have
to
what
used
to
happen
is
every
ticket
somebody
received,
they
got
a
jury
trial
for
so
someone
would
hire
a
lawyer
if
they
had
20
tickets.
They'd
hire
a
lawyer.
E
E
A
I
You
so
much
Council,
chair
and
chief
heart
I,
appreciate
you
and
and
to
Joey
and
his
family
and
friends
here.
I
appreciate
you
guys
for
showing
up
here
today
and
I'm
deeply
sad
and
again
for
the
loss
of
Joy,
Smith
and
I.
Don't
think
you
know
now
as
being
a
new
father,
it's
you
know
you
I
when
I
first
read
the
story,
I
remember
having
this
conversation
with
Katie.
This
is
I
swear,
I
could
not
bear
it
and
and
just
to
adjust
the
elephant
in
the
room.
I
I
think
everybody
here
knows
that
there's
a
petition
going
around,
keep
our
concern
and
want
to
have
lighting.
They
want
to
have
speed
humps.
Just
to
give
you
a
quick
update.
I
spoke
with
the
public
safety
department
in
Dearborn
and
I'm
sure
many
of
you
guys,
if
you
guys
didn't
notice,
have
these
big
orange
barrels
green
side
that
says
yield
on
every
single
corner
across
the
entire
city
of
Dearborn,
not
just
around
schools,
but
the
entire
city
of
Dearborn.
Has
these
big
signs
and
residents.
I
I
You
know
so,
I,
don't
know
what
needs
to
be
happening
here,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
have
the
conversation,
maybe
with
our
our
fire
chief
regarding.
If
there
were
speed
homes
around
only
Public
Schools,
School
District,
you
know,
would
that
be,
you
know,
would
that
cause
any
harm
to
the
fire
trucks?
To
these
you
know
when
it
comes
to
somebody
that's
in
danger.
The
next
question
would
be
with
our
our
DPW
director.
I
I
You
know
this
is
one
kid
too
many
tomorrow
my
son's
gonna
go
to
school,
God
forbid,
you
know
or
the
child
that
was
at
Crestwood
who
got
hit
with
the
car,
but
he
was
on
his
bike
and
you
know.
Luckily
it
wasn't
any
dangerous
or
you
know
it
wasn't
any
life-threatening
situation,
but
it
could
have
been
and
I
think
everybody,
including
the
police
chief,
the
mayor,
the
council,
the
residents
everybody's
on
the
same
page.
I
Everybody
wants
to
see
something
you
know
for
the
you
know
the
better
safety
of
this
residents
and
the
children
I
think
it's
great
that
we
can
enforce.
You
know
higher
wages
and
charging
people
more
money,
maybe
petitioning
to
the
secretary
State
I.
Think.
Ultimately,
though,
what
everybody
here
is
concerned
about
is,
can
we
have
the
speed
humps?
If
we
can?
What's
it
going
to
cost?
Will
the
district
split
it
with
us?
I
mean.
I
Ultimately,
this
is
what's
expected
from
I
think
you
know,
I
I
know
there
was
an
article
that
came
around
I.
Think
with
the
pressing
guide.
I
could
be
wrong,
but
it
was
talking
about
speed,
humps
in
the
city
of
Dearborn
Heights
and
the
city
of
Dearborn.
It
went
viral,
everybody
was
talking
about,
people
were
calling
me
and
saying
I
want
in
front
of
my
house,
so
I
think
the
conversation
right
now
is:
what
is
the
next
step?
Are
we
going
to?
Are
we
going
to
enforce
this?
Are
we
going
to
look
to
invest?
I
Are
we
going
to
put
a
resolution?
Are
we
going
to
ask
Corporation
Council
to
potentially
put
an
ordinance
together
that
states
that
schools
around
the
school
district
or
around
the
city
that
attend
Crestwood
schools
to
attend
D7
at
10
Westwood
will
will
have
those
feed
humps,
we'll,
have
flashing
lights
and
will
it
be
split
with
the
city
and
the
school
district,
where
we
ask
for
support
from
the
state
or
the
county,
I
mean.
How
are
we
being
proactive
and
I?
I
A
Of
where
I
stand
with,
that
comes
with
sure,
okay,
thank
you.
So
Chief
heart,
what's
your
opinion
as
far
as
because,
obviously
it's
a
multi-faceted
situation
as
far
as
speed,
humps
or
speed
bumps
are
concerned,
there's
obviously
a
doesn't
work
and
then
B
can
it
be
done
in
our
city?
What
is
the
cost?
What
is
the
problematic
situation
in
terms
of
the
fire
trucks?
Dpw
I
know
we
have
our
DPW
director
here.
C
Why
I
asked
Chuck
to
to
join
us
here
because
that's
a
it's
an
engineering
piece,
it's
a
traffic
study
and
I
want
to
say
mayor
three
weeks
ago,
four
weeks
ago,
right
across
the
hallway
we
had
Chuck
was
generous
enough
to
come
down
here.
We've
been
working
on
some
programs
in
May
neighborhoods
on
traffic
safety,
and
we
got
into
the
discussion
of
speed,
humps
speed,
bumps
whatever
they
may
be.
So
Chuck
is
kind
of
the
expert
on
that
and
he
they
have
to
be.
C
You
can't
just
put
one
on
a
street
right.
They
have
to
be
in
a
series,
so
there's
a
there's
a
sweet
spot
in
there
of
what's
the
distance
between
them
and
then
how
high
are
they
right
and
and
there's
there's
a
lot
of
it's
not
just
as
simple
as
saying
do
we
want
them
or
not?
We
we
all
want
people
to
to
slow
down
and
pay
attention
in
our
neighborhoods,
but
then
we're
going
to
get
into
when
people,
if
they're
not
close
enough.
C
If
the
speed
humps
are
not
close
to
each
other,
then
you're
going
to
have
people
speeding
up
between
them
to
try
to
make
up
for
lost
time.
So
then
a
little
bit
lesser
consequence,
but
now
we're
going
to
have
the
loud
exhaust
the
the
modified
exhaust
issues
as
people
are
speeding
between
those
humps.
But
those
are
just
some
initial
concerns
that
I
have
some
things
that
have
worked
in
other
communities.
C
That
I've
been
is
painting
kind
of
shrinking
the
roadway
right
by
by
putting
paint
on
the
solid
line
on
the
street
that
gives
a
perception
of
a
narrow
roadway
and
people
will
naturally
slow
down.
The
issue
with
that
here
is
for
the
most
part,
we
have
our
residents
the
exception
of
trash
day,
you're
not
supposed
to
park
on
the
street,
but
we
already
have
fairly
narrow
streets
in
the
area.
So
some
of
those
traffic
calming
measures
you
know
that
are
in
place
in
other
communities
may
not
work
for
us.
C
It
might
be
something
we
can
look
at.
You
know,
certainly
with
with
Chuck
and
Tia
I'm
I'm,
very
committed
to
finding
a
solution
with
our
community
and
what
fits
best
for
us.
But
ultimately
that's
that's
your
job,
because
you
are
the
policy
Setters
right,
but
we're
I'm
here
to
support
and
work
with
anyone
on
what
what
we
feel
works
best
for
Dearborn
Heights.
A
Okay,
I'm
gonna
have
Chuck
Keller
with
Tia.
Basically
there's
Specialties
traffic
studies,
they've
done
different
traffic
studies
for
the
city
in
terms
of
different
businesses
that
are
open
in
the
city.
They've
worked
directly
one-on-one
with
our
city,
engineer,
aladeep
and
and
I've
seen
some
of
their
reports
very,
very
extensive.
J
I'm
glad
to
join
you,
so
you
know
the
first
thing
I
want
to
do
here
is
is
determine
whether
or
not
you
actually
have
a
problem
in
the
area,
and
you
know
do
some
study
data
and
see
if
you
actually
have
speeders
in
the
area
when
you're
standing
outside
whether
somebody's
driving
by
25
looks
a
lot
faster
than
25,
and
sometimes
there
really
isn't
a
speeding
issue
with
the
perceived
issue.
So
that's
one
thing
that
you
want
to
look
at.
First,
there's
a
lot
of
other
things:
around
schools.
J
There's
a
school
signing
in
a
cordless
with
the
manual
there's
a
proper
signs
there.
Are
they
in
good
condition?
Do
you
have
a
school
route
plan?
What
are
the
children
supposed
to
close?
Simply
at
the
intersections
that
have
controls
in
them?
Are
there
proper
pavement
markings
at
those
locations?
There's
a
site
distance
good
at
the
corners.
All
these
things
to
make
the
area
safer
without
really
having
to
do
a.
K
J
One
of
the
other
things
is
what
the
speed
humps
is.
You
have
solar
first
responder
times
because
they
have
to
slow
their
Rings
down
considerably
much
more
than
a
a
small
vehicle
like
a
car
in
order
to
burst
those
humps
and
I
mean
there's
other
things
in
the
school
zone
like
I
said
signing,
make
sure
that's
proper.
J
A
A
That
would
like
to
speak
as
far
as
concerns
they've
had
and
what
they
feel
would
be
potential
things
that
the
city
can
do,
and
maybe
the
school
districts
can
do
to
help
not
necessarily
eliminate
but
minimize
this
potential
problem
that
we're
having
consistently
with
our
children.
Okay.
So
before
one
of
somebody
from
the
school
district
goes
up,
councilman
go.
B
Ahead,
thank
you.
Council,
chair
before
sorry,
before
the
chief
has
sat
down.
Sorry
about
that.
Like
councilman
I,
don't
mention,
we
have
to
be
proactive
and
work
on
something
it
seems
like
Mr
Keller.
It
seems
all
these
studies
are
going
to
take
some
time.
I,
like
Canada
style,
design,
that
the
councilman
Winston
wentzel
brought
last
time.
I
mean
his
dad
needs
a
solitude.
It's
an
LED,
stop
sign,
I
mean.
B
C
So
we
we
do
have
speed
signs
that
we
can
deploy
in
the
area
that
will
will
go
off
and
let
people
know
that
they're,
speeding,
I,
think
that
really
right
now
is
is
with
Chuck
is
to
keep
in
mind
his
his
mind
is
engineering
right,
so
we
want
to
identify
the
problem.
We
want
to
look
at
the
data.
We
want
to
look
at
see
who's,
speeding.
C
What
the
speeds
are
the
mean,
speed,
those
types
of
things
and
those
are
generally
done
with
the
the
line
counters
that
are
going
across
the
road
versus
the
speed,
sign
and
I.
Think
Council,
chair
kind
of
to
set
the
tone
for
the
meeting
tonight
is
we're
probably
not
going
to
walk
out
of
here
with
a
solution
this
evening,
but
we're
we're
going
to
be
closer
to
the
solution
as
we
sit
down
with
the
community
and
discussion
discuss
options.
C
Some
of
the
things
that
that
Chuck
did
bring
up
to
keep
in
mind
are
some
of
these
sight
line
issues
right.
We've
had
contact
between
two
police
cars
and
pedestrians
on
pulling
out
on
Michigan,
Avenue
last
fall,
and
then
once
since
I've
been
here
so
I
I
brought
Chuck
out
here
to
study
our
traffic
patterns
at
the
Justice
Center.
So
we're
we're
going
to
be
looking
to
bring
traffic
in
on
a
one-way
and
make
one
exit
Point
onto
Michigan
Avenue
that
you
can
go
eastbound.
C
We
cut
back
a
significant
amount
of
Shrubbery
special
thanks
to
our
DPW
Crews
for
coming
out
and
clearing
those
sight
lines
up.
So
that
was
some
of
the
things
that
came
out
of
our
meeting
last
week
is:
what
can
we
do
as
residents
to
kind
of
help?
This
problem
as
well
and
I,
grew
up
on
a
corner
of
Harding
and
Merrick
and
Taylor
and
I
know
we.
C
We
took
out
a
large
Bush
that
was
right
on
the
corner
because,
as
you
would
look
to
the
right,
if
you
wanted
to
turn
left
onto
Harding
from
Merrick,
that
Bush
was
a
huge
sight
line
issue
right.
So
some
things
that
we
can
do
immediately
as
residents
is
what,
from
the
sidewalk
to
your
home,
are
there
bushes
or
things
that
we
can
trim
up?
That
would
help
us
with
those
sight
lines,
but
any
type
of
again.
B
Replacing
those
stop
signs
around
the
schools
with
the
flashing
LED,
stop
signs,
I.
Think
it's
a
great
idea,
I
mean
especially
at
night,
even
at
daytime.
It's
going
to
make
people
stop
because
they're
gonna,
they're
gonna
see
something
flashing
in
their
face.
They're
gonna
make
them
slow
down
and
they're
going
to
make
them
stop
at
the
stop
sign.
So
so.
C
A
A
L
Ashley
Holbrook
Howell
I
live
on
hip
Street
in
Dearborn
Heights,
my
school,
my
street
also
dead
ends
at
Polk
Elementary
School.
We
do
not
have
any
school
entry
signs
in
our
area
at
all.
I
don't
even
have
lines
on
my
sidewalk
that
my
former
crossing
guard
friend
here
was
trying
to
get
has
been
trying
to
get
painted
for
at
least
three
to
four
years.
L
It
was
like
what
second
third
grade
so
five
years
ago
that
we've
been
trying
to
get
these
lines
painted
and
nothing
now,
I
know
that
he
was
in
an
office
and
it's
not
his
issue,
but
the
fact
that
they're
bringing
up
that
we
need
signs
around
these
neighborhoods
and
they're
are
saying
that
there
are
signs
and
there's
not.
It
just
makes
me
boil
because
we've
been
trying
to
get
things
in
place
since
before
this
happened.
Okay,.
L
D
D
L
It's
just
it's
it's
frustrating
when,
as
a
city
or
as
a
City
member
I,
guess
you
can
say
at
this
point
like
a
Community
member,
that
you're
trying
to
get
these
things
in
place
to
protect
our
children
and
it's
not
happening
and
we're
completely
being
ignored
even
by
the
police
department
at
that
time
and
the
school
board
when
the
school
board
is
actually
doing
what
they're
supposed
to
be
doing.
Okay,
thank.
M
M
My
name
is,
and
I
am
on
Whitefield
Street
in
Dearborn
Heights,
but
first
of
all
there
are
things
that
we
can
do
like
stop
signs
and
that
we
should
be
doing
anyways
I
know
that
we
have
had
some
requests
for
crossing
guards.
I've
had
multiple
conversations
with
individuals
regarding
not
having
crossing
guards.
M
These
are
things
that
there's
absolutely
no
excuse,
for
it
takes
one
person
to
break
a
rule
to
break
the
rules.
We
can't
control
what
the
individuals
that
are
driving
are
doing.
We
can
do
what
we
are
supposed
to
do.
Our
buildings
we're
not
meant
to
house
1200
kids
at
Riverside
when
they
were
built.
They
were
built
for
maybe
800..
M
M
You
know
I
see
officers,
I
love
our
officers,
but
sometimes
they
see
them
and
they're
there,
but
I'd
love
to
see
them,
maybe
get
out
of
their
vehicles,
engage
with
the
community
members
assist
in
crossing
the
kids
assistant,
just
having
conversations
with
our
with
our
parents
and
again
I'm
nothing
against
our
officers,
because
I
know
that
we
are
short
staffed
as
well
and
everybody's
short
staffed
with
everything.
I
know,
I
heard
somebody
in
the
audience
mention
we
should
just
bus
everybody
we're
struggling
with
bus
drivers.
M
We
are
constantly
having
to
cancel
bus
routes
because
the
transportation
company
is
short
staffed.
So
what
can
we
do?
I'm
sorry
I
was
just
taking
notes,
while
I
was
sitting
there,
but
you
know
we
just
need
to
have
more
of
a
sense
of
community,
and
even
if
that
means,
and
I've
and
I've
come
to
Council
meetings
for
years
and
talked
about
relationships
with
the
city
and
the
in
our
residents
and
and
our
police
officers
and
just
City
officials
in
general.
M
There
needs
to
be
a
sense
of
community
if
the,
if
your
residents
do
not
trust
you
guys
or
our
Police
Department
or
no
they're
not
going
to
care,
but
our
our
buildings
were
not.
They
weren't
meant
for
the
amount
of
traffic
that
we
have
so
guess
what
police
officers
and
their
presence
is
what
we
need
and
I
and
I
I
really
beg
to
differ
on
the
ticketing
part,
because
I
don't
think
that
that's
the
most
important
thing
I
really
think
that
those
relationships
are
more
important
than
than
a
ticket
I.
M
Personally
I
you
know,
I
was
once
pulled
over
for
impeding
traffic,
I
had
dropped
off
a
neighbor's
child
and
she
jumped
out
and
full
responsibility
because
I'm
the
driver.
This
is
years
ago,
at
the
elementary
school
and
later
on,
I
said
you
know,
it'd
be
nice,
if
maybe
the
officer
that
was
there
this
was
years
ago.
The
officer
that
was
there
wasn't
just
pulling
over
people
and
and
causing
more
people
to
impede
traffic,
maybe
get
out
and
say
hey.
Let
me
help
direct
traffic,
because
more
people
are
driving
their
kids
to
school.
M
Back
in
the
day,
people
used
to
walk,
there's
so
many
more
cars
that
no
matter
what
you
do.
I,
don't
think
that
speeding
is
the
issue
with
our
buildings.
Riverside
Crestwood,
like
I,
don't
think
the
speeding
is
the
issue
there's
just
so
many
cars
and
everybody
wants
to
get
you
know
in
and
out,
and
then
you
have
people
cutting
people
off.
It's
not
speeding.
It's
just
far
too
many
cars,
okay,.
E
Unlike
to
to
that
those
schools,
unlike
for
example
in
the
South
End,
has
has
tripled
in
you
know,
back
in
the
day,
lifetimes,
kids,
you
know,
one
mom
would
would
pick
up
child
one,
two
three
and
four
and
drop
them
off,
and
and
but
especially
your
point
about
yeah
for
for
the
police
officer
coming
out
and
saying:
hey,
Miss
I'm
not
going
to
give
you
a
ticket
this
time,
but
really
the
way
you
should
do.
This
is
go
this
way
well.
Thank
you.
M
And
I'm
not
saying
that
that
it
just
it
just
takes
it,
there's
got
to
be
some
more
teamwork
and-
and
there
are
a
couple
of
things
that
even
leaving
the
golf
course
that
we've
discussed
having
to
potentially
adjust
the
lighting
and
allowing
more
people
to
pass.
But
we
understand
that
that
then
affects
all
of
the
other
lights
and
that's
not
really
possible.
M
I
had
a
parent
ask
me
what
about
or
they
said,
were
suggesting
what
about
not
allowing
left
turns
during
a
certain
period
of
time,
because
then
it
forced
the
traffic
to
either
turn
right
or
go
straight.
The
only
other
issue
is
and
I
know
that
you've
had
a
resident
concerning
Berwin
and
is
that
if
you're
forcing
them
to
go
into
the
neighborhood,
then
they're
speeding
in
the
neighborhood
and
she
was
requesting
a
the.
M
What
she's
referencing
us
so
then
what
happens
there
is
that
the
stop
sign
there
isn't
a
stop
sign
in
the
first
corner.
So
then
people
have
the
the
opportunity
to
pick
up
the
pay.
You
know
pick
up
their
speed
as
they're
passing
her
house
get
fine,
but
before
they
finally
reach
another
stop
sign.
So
again,
there
are
things
we
can
do
that
aren't
going
to
cost
a
lot
of
money
because
ultimately
we
know
at
the
end
of
the
day
the
only
real
ways
to
fix
the
infrastructure
and
that's
going
to
cost
Millions.
Okay,
thank.
A
You
I
received
a
couple
different
emails,
but
one
particular
email
before
I
go
to
two
more
people
on
Zoom
I
know:
Mr
Tim,
Emery,
one
of
the
school
board,
members
and
I
know.
Nadia
Berry
is
also
on
there.
She
had
Roundup
one
of
the
school
quests
from
the
Crestwood
School
District,
but
Dr
Yusuf
musalam
from
the
the
superintendent
of
the
Crestwood
School
District
sent
us
an
email,
but
one
of
the
best
comments
that
I've
seen
is
at
the
end
and
that's
a
very,
very
true
situation.
A
He
says
I'm
sure
that
the
situation
at
Quest
at
Westwood
and
district
7
is
very
similar
to
Crestwood.
In
that
there
are
there
they're
they're
all
landlocked
and
do
not
have
many
options
to
divert
traffic,
as
you
would
have,
as
we've
seen,
of
course,
on
TV,
and
what
have
you
different
school
districts
where
you're
further
out
not
as
closed
in
community?
You
know
as
far
as
buildings
or
what
have
you
is
concerned,
so
they
have
a
lot
more
options
to
divert
traffic.
What
doesn't
exist?
I'm.
A
K
Okay,
okay,
I'm
Katie,
Dearborn,
Heights,
Mayfair
Street.
Please
explain
to
me
how
yesterday
I
dropped
my
friend's
daughter
off
at
school.
You
have
a
Dearborn
Heights
police
officer
sitting
at
the
corner
of
Pardee
and
Annapolis
kitty
corner
from
where
everything
happened,
but
sitting
in
their
vehicle
and
there's
double
parking
going
on.
Please
explain
that
one
to
me
Chief
heart!
Why
are
your
police
officers
not
doing
their
job
I'll.
N
Tabitha
Kerr
I
no
longer
live
in
Dearborn
Heights
I
am
a
citizen
of
Michigan
I,
track
childhood
injury
and
death
in
the
education
system,
whether
it's
infrastructure,
disease,
violence
or
other
Rise
that
are
considered
predictable
and
preventable
that
are
classified
as
never.
Events
in
a
state
that
ranks
dead
lasts
in
ethics
and
transparency
with
the
infrastructure
grade
of
D
Plus.
N
Just
the
building.
Now,
with
our
state
infrastructure,
do
we
know
the
cause
and
effect
with
our
roads,
our
signs,
our
speed
bumps
and
the
effect
it
has
with
our
children
in
the
city
of
Dearborn
Heights.
Do
we
understand
that
we
are
burning
the
candle
at
both
ends
when
we're
paying
public
tax
dollars
for
our
roads?
Our
schools,
you,
while
also
paying
an
unknown
amount
in
injuries
in
deaths
due
to
insufficient
and
inadequate
policies.
N
Where
is
not
just
the
people's
accountability,
is
we're
all
over
here
pointing
the
fingers
at.
But
where
is
also
your
accountability
here?
Where
is
Community
initiative?
Saying
hey,
we
don't
have
this,
but
you
know
what
we're
having
a
big
gathering
at
a
sports
center
or
at
the
field.
Why
don't
we
have
volunteers
at
the
corners,
at
least
at
the
main,
busy,
Park
and
direct
during
those
sporting
events?
If
somebody
did
that,
maybe
her
son
Joy
would
be
here,
do
we
understand
how
many
children
are
being
injured
and
killed
in
the
city
of
Dearborn
Heights?
N
K
N
Is
a
problem
because
we
are
paying
well
are
paying
for
you
to
know
those
are
our
littlest
citizens
that
don't
have
representation
because
they
are
not
taxed.
But
we
are.
We
absolutely
are
now.
I
I've
been
down
this
road
plenty
of
times,
not
just
in
these
buildings,
but
also
in
the
legislature,
and
there
are
very
familiar
verbiages
going
on
and
I
haven't
seen
much
in
the
infrastructure
in
Dearborn
Heights,
either
so
really
where's.
The
consistency
where's
the
genuine
article
here,
because
all
I'm
hearing
is
pretty
words
roadblocking.
N
Where
our
infrastructure
is
failing
and
by
the
way
our
school
infrastructure
is
so
bad,
not
just
in
Michigan
but
in
the
United
States,
so
we
don't
know
the
future
of
it
by
2026.
So
what's
your
solution
with
that
too,
as
you're
shuffling
all
these
kids
to
schools
with
everybody,
picking
them
up
at
the
same
time,
why
aren't
we
breaking
up
the
times
where
kids
are
being
picked
up
in
half
hour
intervals?.
N
Where's
the
volunteer
community
Effectiveness,
which
you
have
every
capability
of
doing
every
capability.
Why
does
it
have
to
take
more
than
one
mother
to
come
here
and
tell
you
there's
something
wrong
and
it's
not
just
the
people.
It's
not
kids
are
kids
I.
Maybe
I
must
have
forgot
something,
but
I
always
knew
that
the
pedestrians
had
the
right
of
way
they
do.
N
N
So
what
are
we
doing
for
her
other
than
trying
to
set
up
a
nice
pretty
thing
to
try
to
appease
her
and
then
hopefully
you
know
it
all
blow
over
and
then
you
forget,
like
you,
do
anything
else
because
I
know
I
wrote
a
510
page
book
and
I
gave
it
to
the
members
who
were
here.
Some
of
you
are
new,
so
you're
excused
that
had
automobile
accidents
in
the
education
system
included.
Did
you
read
it
or
did
you
pass
it
off
to
somebody
else?
A
G
N
F
All
right,
good
evening,
good
evening
school
board
members
40
some
odd
years
now,
seeing
a
lot
of
things
in
the
different
districts.
I've
been
I
was
kind
of
hoping
I
heard
about
this
thing
that
you
were
talking
about
today.
I
was
kind
of
hoping
that
it
would
have
been
invited.
But,
okay,
my
wife
was
a
crossing
guard
for
oh
I.
Think
around
eight
years
choose
to
be
down
at
party
in
Annapolis.
F
F
F
F
F
F
O
Good
evening,
I'm
sorry
I'm
not
feeling
that
well,
but
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
having
this
and
to
let
you
know
that.
Yes,
definitely,
student
safety
is
a
priority
and
I
appreciate
you
guys
doing
this
and
having
this
open
dialogue
and
starting
the
conversation
and
I
totally
agree
with
you
guys
on
making
it
where
people
know
that
the
schools
are
there
and
putting
the
signage
up
and
the
flashing
lights.
O
So
people
understand
that
there
are
schools
in
that
area,
especially
on
Warren
Avenue,
where
we
have
to
have
all
the
students
Crossing,
and
we
know
that
busing
has
been
a
concern
within
this
District
because
of
the
employees
calling
off
or
you
know,
having
to
cancel
routes
so
we're
having
a
lot
more
students
walking
and
a
lot
more
appearance
driving.
So
it
is
imperative
to
have
the
police
be
involved
to
be.
There
share
their
presence.
O
These
you
know
their
presence
be
seen
by
the
families
by
the
parents,
the
students
and
I
think
when
the
parents
see
the
officers,
it
makes
a
huge
difference
with
their
behavior
with
how
they
drive
around
the
schools,
I'm,
not
saying
to
threaten
them
with
tickets,
but
what
I
am
saying
is
presses
does
make
a
huge
difference
and
they
do
again
for
doing
this.
Okay,.
D
Know
just
just
to
make
clear
make
myself
clearer,
I'm,
not
saying
about
giving
tickets
to
parents
who
are
picking
their
kids
up
from
school
I'm
talking
about
in
general
people
who
are
just
disobeying
all
the
speeding
rules,
the
stop
signs,
the
no
turn
on
reds.
Those
are
what
I'm
I
was
talking
about.
Ticketing
people,
maybe
they'll
start
to
learn,
then
that
they
need
to
slow
down
and
I
I
loved.
Her
idea
about
the
staggered
start
times
for
again,
that's
a
wonderful
idea:
I
mean
big
Factories.
Do
that
pardon
me.
D
N
B
P
I
am
speaking
as
a
resident
of
Dearborn
Heights
I
live
on
Gully
Road
in
Dearborn,
Heights
I'm,
also
speaking
as
a
mother
of
a
very
horrible
club
that
I'm
very
sorry
Tabitha,
as
well
as
the
Smith
family
and
our
own
councilman
Wenzel
and
others
who
may
be
familiar
with
what
it's
like
to
lose
a
child.
That's
unnecessary
I
do
want
to
thank
the
council
and
police
chief
art
for
having
the
study
session.
What's
the
most
important
thing
you
can
do
this
evening
is
listen
to
what
these
people
are
telling
you,
what
the
the
issues
are.
P
I
heard
several
things
I've
heard
of
multiple
times
about
signs
not
being
posted
at
the
schools.
That's
an
easy
fix
and
should
have
already
been
done
about
the
crosswalks
being
painted.
They
should
be
painted
in
a
way
with
this
resource
that
stands
out
and
is
screaming
that
it
is
there
that's
an
easy
fix
that
can
be
fixed
right
away.
I
wanted
to
tell
you
and
encourage
you
to
maybe
take
a
look
at
the
city
of
Detroit's
program
for
Speed
humps
22.
They
introduced
it.
P
That's
this
year,
22.,
they
already
have
7
000
of
them
and
their
neighborhoods,
that's
where
they
put
them,
they're,
very
effective,
and
if
it's
working
for
them
like
with
their
fire
trucks,
which
we've
heard
before
I've
heard
when
I
was
on
Council
I
heard.
That
was
a
problem:
okay
or
the
snow
plow
trucks.
P
Let's
talk
to
them
find
out
what's
working
right
because
you
have
to
do
something
whatever
you
do,
you
can't
sit
here
and
do
nothing.
Okay,
we
talk
about
one
child
is
too
many.
Well,
we've
already
had
two
in
that
District
within
so
many
years.
It's
unacceptable.
These
people
will
never
get
their
loved
one
back
ever.
P
The
one
thing
that's
missing
here
that
I
I
heard
somebody
say
and
I
agree
with:
we
have
crossing
guards
or
we
should
have
crossing
guards.
We
don't
have
crossing
guards,
but
we
should
have
crossing
guards
during
the
school
day
when
the
kids
are
going
home
coming
and
going.
But
what
about
events
at
night?
What
happened?
What
happened
and
I
don't
care
if
it's
the,
whose
responsibility
it
is,
and
we
keep
blaming
somebody
else
and
we're
pointing
at
somebody
else
and
this
person.
It's
the
parents
fault,
it's
a
child's
fault.
P
No,
it
doesn't
matter
what
matters
is
that
the
residents
vote
Us
in
to
do
this
job
to
look
out
for
the
community
and
Public
Safety
is
number
one.
Always
okay,
so
again
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
Federal
Highway
Administration
I
have
another
one
for
you,
one
more
State,
Highway
Safety
Office
the
highway
safety
act
of
1966
first
authorized
the
administration
of
federal
grants
for
highway
safety
programs.
P
Okay!
So
take
a
look
at
that.
Maybe
again
it's
going
to
take
everybody,
but
let's
stop
pointing
fingers
and
blaming
others
and
saying
it's
the
kid's
fault.
It's
the
parents
fault.
It's
somebody
else's
fault,
guess
what
it
doesn't
matter
whose
fault
it
is.
What
matters
is
we're
all
part
of
the
solution.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Q
Hello,
my
name
is
Margaret
King
I
am
I'm
on
Mayfair
Street,
Dearborn
Heights.
Thank
you,
I
have
been
a
crossing
guard
or
I
was
a
crossing
guard.
Would
love
to
get
back
into
it,
but
I
think
a
big
issue
with
the
crossing
guards
is
we
need
support
when
I
call
in
and
tell
you
there
is
a
car
speeding
down
the
street
and
during
the
school
zones
nothing
gets
done,
I
understand,
they're
short,
staffed,
I
understand
he
wasn't
in
office,
but
I
would
love
to
be.
Q
Q
There
needs
to
be
a
sign
within
every
thousand
feet
of
the
school
to
let
you
know
that
they're
in
the
school
zone
there
is
not
I,
have
video
I
will
send
each
and
every
one
of
the
council
members,
including
the
mayor
and
everybody
else,
the
videos
that
I
have
taken
I
live.
Two
black
a
block
and
a
half
a
black
one:
half
black
half
from
from
the
school
zone,
I
don't
have
a
sign.
I
can
take
my
street
from
Annapolis
all
the
way
down
to
Mayfair
and
there
is
not
a
school
zone.
Q
Sign
and
I
know
that's
in
a
thousand
feet
of
that
school
building.
I,
don't
know
if
this
would
have
saved
Joey's
life.
I
don't
know
if,
but
the
crosswalks
need
to
be
painted.
How
often
are
crosswalks
supposed
to
be
painted,
because
I
can
tell
you
when
I
worked,
that
corner
that
wasn't
painted
and
it
still
isn't
painted
today,
I
want
something
done
now.
I
was
at
the
city
council
meeting
the
first
one
that
I
attended,
has
those
crosswalks
and
painted
no
unacceptable
unacceptable.
It
needs
to
be
done
now.
Q
Q
Q
The
school
zones,
solar
lights,
everything
I
have
said
in
the
past,
but
I
mean
crosswalks-
should
be
painted
yearly.
Make
that
stand
out.
These
are
things
that
can
be
done
and
cost
efficient
and
I'm
sure
there's
grants
for
it,
but
I
mean
there's
no
signs.
I,
don't
know,
but
I
appreciate
your
time
and
thank
you
so
much.
Thank.
A
You
thank
you
and,
and
I
presume,
I'm
speak
I'm,
able
to
say
the
statement
on
behalf
of
the
council
as
a
whole.
Obviously
we're
not
voting
today
on
something
like
this,
but
I
just
want
to
relate
to
the
police
chief
to
DPW
to
Administration
and
our
city
engineer,
and
our
school
districts
are
here
I'm
sure
my
fellow
council
members
would
agree
with
me
that
whatever
it's
going
to
take
between
all
of
us
to
get
this
thing
figured
out
to
lessen
the
potential
of
issues
that
are
happening
in
the
city.
A
Maybe
our
mayor
can
take
maybe
the
leadership
role
on
this
to
assess
every
one
of
our
schools
and
see
what
is
because
I'm
hearing
from
some
of
the
members
of
the
audience
some
places
are
not
painted.
Maybe
it's.
You
know
I
one
of
the
things
that
I
heard
the
flashing
stop
like
stop
signs,
I
love
that
personally,
I
think
it'd
be
great
and
whatever
the
cost
is.
Obviously,
we
have
to
eventually
vote
on
it,
but
I
I
think
I
speak
on
behalf
of
our
all
of
our
council.
A
Q
D
N
M
A
Q
J
A
R
I'm
almost
out
of
lost
words,
and
the
reason
that
is
is
because
we're
all
adults,
these
young
kids,
they
don't
have
a
chance
to
even
see
life,
sometimes
I'm.
A
truck
driver
by
trade
I,
see
people
every
single
day
on
the
phone
reading
books
doing
makeup
everything
that
there
shouldn't
be
doing
I've
seen
accidents
even
with
ambulances.
R
I'm
almost
moved
to
tears
because
you
can't
get
this
figured
out
and
it
took
for
this
young
boy
to
lose
his
life
for
us
to
be
here.
Having
this
conversation,
my
son's
13.,
my
other
boy,
is
five,
have
a
child
on
the
way
and
it
hurts
because
I
don't
know
what
to
say
to
these
kids
to
try
to
protect
them.
R
R
R
I
grew
up
in
Detroit
96
in
Davidson,
one
two,
seven,
eight
seven
turn
the
street.
You
can
look
me
up
been
there.
I
just
recently
found
out
that
teller,
the
next
street
over
that
I
used
to
ride
my
bike
down.
They
got
a
concrete,
a
concrete,
Speedway,
I'm
35.,
there's
no
speed
bumps
in
the
city
of
Dearborn
Heights
around
these
schools.
R
We
can
find
money
for
every
other
thing,
but
we
can't
find
money
to
save
these
kids,
even
if
we
have
to
save
them
from
themselves.
We
all
know
that
these
kids
don't
pay
attention.
You
know
when
I
was
growing
up
and
I'm
in
middle
school.
These
kids
used
to
jump
out
in
the
middle
of
the
street
just
to
see
if
they
can
avoid
the
cars
they're
playing
games
with
their
own
lives.
But
you
have
a
lot
of
kids.
R
R
My
city
council
members,
don't
know
how
to
handle
the
situation.
They
don't
know
how
to
be
proactive.
Now
granted.
We
voted
for
you,
but
it's
just
as
quickly
as
we
voted
to
win.
We
can
vote
you
out
and
I
say
that,
with
every
fiber
of
my
being,
because
I'm
a
protect,
my
kids
and
I'm
going
to
protect
any
and
every
kid
that's
around
my
neighborhood
that
I
see
that
needs
protected,
whether
it's
from
us,
whether
it's
from
other
kids
or
whether
it's
from
you
all
and
they
don't
even
know
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir.
S
S
Sammy
has
attended
every
Elementary
School.
She
is
at
the
middle
school
now
and
my
son
is
in
the
high
school.
The
traffic
and
the
problems
around
the
school
is
the
same
in
2009.
It
is,
is
now
and
I'd
like
to
invite
all
of
you
to
join
any
of
the
school
PTO
pages,
and
you
will
see
daily
or
weekly.
Parents,
posting
videos,
pictures
complaints
about
the
safety
issues
and
they're,
not
just
the
parents
that
are
driving
because
trust
me
those
parents
need
to
have
somebody
talk
to
them.
S
A
lot
of
them
I
agree
with
that,
but
there
are
police
always
there
and
the
car
is
empty
or
the
person
is
sitting
in
it.
At
best
we
have
a
double
or
a
triple
parking
issue.
So
when
you're
coming
down
that
street
there's
a
parking
there,
then
there's
you
know
the
the
drop-off
line,
which
no
one
drops
off.
They
just
park
there
and
then
there's
the
the
line
that
goes
through,
which,
again
when
it's
dismissal
or
the
beginning
of
the
day,
no
one,
no
one
does
what
they're
supposed
to
everybody.
S
Just
Parks
like
it's
a
parking
lot.
It's
either
I.
Let
my
daughter
walk
from
like
a
block
away,
so
that
I
don't
get
hit
by
a
car
and
then
hope
she
makes
it
there
safely
or
I.
I'm
scared
that
somebody's
gonna
run
into
me.
I
mean
it
is
insane
and
the
problem
being
is.
If
we
had
a
little
bit
more
police
presence
that
maybe
got
out
and
knocked
out
a
window
and
said
ma'am,
you
can't
be
here,
you
need
to
go.
S
So
now
it's
like!
Oh
man,
now
I
got
to
worry
about
Sammy
Crossing
that
street
we
need
a
Mr
Millet
at
every
school,
but
it
can't
be
the
Principal,
though
it's
got
to
be
officer
somebody
to
stand
out
there
and
do
that
Miss
Maggie
with
Sammy's
crossing
guard.
She
is
the
crossing
guard.
She
kept
all
of
our
kids
safe.
There
was
times
Miss
Maggie
wasn't
safe.
Cars
were
trying
to
run
her
off
the
road
and
she
needed
more
support.
S
I
see
all
that
so
I
thought
we
were
here
tonight,
also
I
know
we
were
talking
about
the
school
traffic,
but
also
about
Joey's
law.
Right
I,
appreciate,
councilman,
Baidu
and
bringing
that
out
and
saying:
let's
talk
about
the
elephant
in
the
room,
that's
what
I
was
here
for,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
other
nice
talking
going
on
the
school
where
the
incident
happened
is
dark
too
I
know
everybody's
talked
about.
S
Let's
do
some
stop
signs
and
speed
bumps,
but
let's
talk
about
it's
dark
there,
I
was
there
that
night,
I
left
very
few
minutes
after
the
incident
happened
and
pulled
out
in
that
parking
lot.
It's
pitch
dark
over
there.
It's
pitch
dark
when
you
walk
out
of
bus
at
night
too.
So
if
we're
going
to
talk
about,
stop
signs
and
speed
bumps,
we
also
need
to
talk
about
a
little
more
Lighting
in
those
areas
as
well.
A
T
D
I
I
know
I,
know
our
fire
chief
here
and
if
you
you
want
to
answer
later,
maybe
get
back
to
us,
but
my
question
is
and
I
know
that
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
are
being
asked
is
that
there
are
speed
humps
if
they're
around,
like
you
know
the
schools
like
Polk,
Elementary,
I,
believe
one
of
them
was
kenmark
and
it
would
be
strictly
around
the
school
district.
Would
that
be
effective?
I
U
We
we
probably
would
find
I
mean
we
would
route
our
ways
around
it.
If
this
is
going
to
make
an
impact
I,
don't
the
the
traffic
flows
and
the
effectiveness
of
these
different
interventions,
that's
beyond
my
level
of
expertise,
that's
for
sure,
but
if
that,
if
that
would
be
effective,
we
would
certainly
find
ways
to
work
around.
That
is
this
going
to
cause
I
mean.
Will
there
be
maintenance
issues
with
the
truck
you
know,
possibly
when
we
leave
the
station?
U
Obviously,
the
biggest
problem
is
when
we
have
a
patient
in
the
back
you
hit
bumps
depending
on
the
a
call
you
know,
that's
they're
already
in
pain,
you
got
a
broken
leg.
A
you
know,
broken
hip
older
patient,
that
that
really
is
a
an
impact
with
the
the
guys
really
know
every
bump
in
the
road
all
the
common
streets
around
and
how
to
avoid
them,
because
you
hear
a
patient
yell
out
in
pain
when
you
go
over
that
bump.
U
You
remember:
oh
I'm,
not
going
to
go
that
way
next
time
and
you
find
your
way
around
so
so
they
would
find
ways
to
avoid
it.
But
that
is
that
is
an
issue
that
a
concern
of
ours
and
and
I
will
talk
to
Detroit
fire
about
the
speed
humps
that
were
installed.
I
know
in
Warrendale,
the
neighborhood
I
grew
up
in
has
speed
humps
now
and
I
was
talking
to
the
guys
at
engine
55,
and
they
were
they
were.
A
I
did
like
the
idea
of
speed
humps.
That
could
be
somebody
mentioning
are
replacing
yeah.
So
that's
something
I
would
love
for
our
city
engineer
to
maybe
look
into
that.
In
addition,
director,
in
addition
to
some
of
those
flashing,
stop
stop
signs.
I
I,
definitely
like
that
one,
at
least
personally,
but.
V
Since
the
tragedy
took
place,
whatever
recommendations
will
bring
to
you
will
be
tailored
for
Dearborn
Heights.
It's
not
you
know
we,
we
I'm
talking
to
Dearborn
Detroit
to
benefit
from
their
best
case
scenarios,
but
it's
important
to
know
that.
So,
let's
start
with
the
issue
with
the
lighted
signs,
the
LED
signs
are
really
controlled
as
to
the
size
of
the
light,
the
color,
the
you
know,
the
flashing
intensity.
V
So
these
things
will
have
to
be
tailored
to
what
it
is
that
it's
you
just
don't
get
LED
flashing
lights
and
put
them
on
the
sign.
They're
really
restricted
the
speed,
bumps
options
with
speed
bumps.
We
have
currently
they're
not
governed
by
the
uniform
traffic
control
device.
They're
considered,
quote-unquote
physical
features
of
the
road
they're,
not
actually
a
controlled.
By
the
code
now
options,
we
have
speed,
bumps
speed,
humps
or
speed
tables,
and
each
one
are
designed
for
different
speed
limit
line
of
sight
distance.
I
V
Yeah,
so
each
each
item
is
selected
based
on
this.
The
speed
limit,
the
area
it
serves,
the
distance
line
of
sight
stop
sign
Dimensions,
so
whatever
we
need,
whatever
we
recommend
will
be
based
on
our
scenario,
this
the
layout,
the
school
area
that
we're
in
the
speed
limit
that
we're
dealing
with.
So
these
are
the
verse
and
they
all
have
Advantage
disadvantage
right.
A
V
A
So,
whatever
recommendations
between
yourself,
the
chief
and
of
course,
we
have
to
speak
with
DPW
in
the
fire
department
right
you're
going
to
come
back
to
us
as
a
council
body
and
say
this
is
our
recommendations.
This
is
the
cause
at
that
particular
Point.
Obviously,
city
council
would
vote
on
it
and
then
from
there
would
be.
V
Implemented
cost
and
and
impact.
So,
as
the
chief
indicated
there
are
impacts,
so
these
things
will
impact
emergency
vehicles
will
impact.
We
have
a
list
of
those
impacts,
so
this
is
based
on
other
people's
fewer
accident.
These
are
the
advantages
increase
noise
level
because
you're
accelerating
after
you,
you
decrease
your
speed.
Air
pollution.
I
mean
there
are
list
of
advantage
and
disadvantages
right.
A
V
V
I
I
A
S
E
I
V
I
have
a
lot
of
data,
so
the
pre.
What
we
have
now
is
to
work
with
our
consultant,
to
put
it
all
in
in
a
plan,
but
we
you
will
get
as
a
plan.
This
is
what
we
recommend
and
then
this
is
what
the
cost
is,
because,
obviously
it's
not
in
our
budget
right,
so
we'll
have
to
come
up
with
we'll
we'll
find
that
okay.
E
Thank
you
and
city
engineer,
deep,
as
you
did
with
the
bridges
in
the
south
end
with
everything
we'll
all
appreciate,
sharing
via
email
or
whatever
you
have
okay,
but
your
your
comments
on
it's
nice
to
have
instead
of
just
somebody
here,
you
know
we
have
you
in-house
here
attending
every
meeting,
commenting
on
issues
like
this.
It's
great
thank
you,
you're
welcome.
Thank
you.
B
B
T
So
I
guess
I
mean
we
replace
signs
when
we're
made
aware
that
they've
been
knocked
down.
If
they're,
not
existence,
now
I
think
we
need
a
traffic
control
order
from
the
police
department
to
place
additional
signs
where
they
would
be
missing
so
that
you
know
that's
in
our
records
and
you
know
it's
enforceable
if
they
don't
have
a
traffic
control
order,
then
I
don't
think
their
signs
are
enforceable
in
school.
You
know,
schools
be
a
stop.
T
We
still
need
to
you
know:
someone
needs
to
tell
us
where
they
need
to
go.
I
mean
that's.
You
know.
According
to
the
Michigan,
you
know
manual
that
they
we
need
to
know
where
to
put
them
so
I
mean
dpw's.
Job
is
to
maintain
and
install
something
that
you
know
is
there.
You
know
it
our
job
isn't
to
determine
where
things
go,
but
one
thing
is
something
is
determined
where
it
goes,
then
it's
our
dpw's
job
to
you
know,
maintain
it
when
it's
knocked
down
or.
V
First,
just
just
put
comment:
councilman
we
can.
We
can
certainly
look
at
the
this
issue
on
the
you
know,
like
temporary
basis,
pending
the
completion
of
that
study,
but
that's
something
that
can
we
can
easily
look
at
and
we
work
with
DPW
for
the
location
and
the
installation
of
those
signs.
So
thank.
N
V
So
the
intended
recommendation
will
be
a
combination.
It's
not
one
option.
There
is
no
magic
bullet
that
will
work
for
every
location.
So
it'll
be
a
combination
of
things.
You
know.
Maybe
it
may
be
a
hump
on
this
side.
It
could
be
a
you
know,
let
stop
signs
or
LED
signs
in
different
location
or
a
combination
of
all
I'd.
A
Also
suggest
somebody
from
the
police
department-
that's
familiar
with
this
particular
subject.
You
just
the
good
old
school,
simple,
walk
around
school
by
school,
maybe
one
a
day
and
just
seeing
what
is
physically
missing
or
not
there.
That
needs
to
be
assessed.
I
think
it's
as
simple
as
that
sometimes
Chief.
Please.
C
Quite
honestly,
that's
what
we're
paying
Tia
to
do.
That's
conversations
that
that
Mr,
Kellner
and
I
would
have
is
to
come
out
and
make
recommendations
on
where
the
signs
are
going.
I
know
somebody
had
a
question.
You
know
if
there's
already
a
traffic
control
order
for
a
sign.
That's
not
there
the
time
that
it
would
take
to
try
to
dig
into
whether
there's
a
TCO
or
not
I
can
write
one.
C
We're
working
on
on
quite
a
few
initiatives
right
now
and
I
think
that
maybe
it's
time
that
we
bring
some
type
of
an
ordinance
in
front
of
city
council
that
if
you
want
to
strengthen
some
of
these
traffic
laws
around
our
schools,
then
that's
something.
Certainly
that
we
can
look
at
from
our
perspective
as
well
and.
H
We've
we've
talked
about
even
like
starting
a
campaign
sort
of
just
like
you
know:
the
seat
belt
Campaign,
which
is
9
out
of
10
people,
now
buckled
their
seat
belts
campaign,
in
conjunction
with
insurance
companies
to
do
which
would
involve
the
entire
Community
to
come
together
to
Target
the
schools
marketing.
We
would
pay
the
money
for
a
marketing
company
to
Market
it
in
Dearborn
Heights
around
our
schools.
This
will
change
the
behavior
that
Mr
Wenzel
was
talking
about
it's
proactive
preventative,
but
it
involves
everyone
coming
together.
Aaa
and
these
insurance
companies
would
be.
H
J
H
C
What
we
thank
you,
City,
attorney
and
I,
believe
it
was
Triple
A
they
couldn't
make
our
meeting
on
Tuesday.
Was
that
correct
mayor
yeah?
So
we
did.
We
did
try
to
invite
someone
from
the
insurance
industry
to
join
us
to
be
a
part
of
the
solution
as
well.
So
we'll
continue
to
to
work
on
that
angle
as
well.
Thank
you,
Chief
Council.
G
G
It
no
I
did
the
the
Tia
traffic
study
yeah.
Well,
there's
meetings
going
on
I
wasn't
aware
of
any
meetings
going
on
we've
had
recently.
You
know,
I
think
everyone
should
be
involved
with
this
traffic.
Oh,
we
did
do
a
traffic
study.
I
didn't
know
it
was
called
Tia
though
okay,
but
I
mean
we
had
meetings.
I
would
like
to
have
been
to
the
meeting
find
out
as
a
council
member
we're
getting
feedback
from
the
residents
saying.
G
You
know
not
not
to
position
anybody,
but
we're
not
doing
our
jobs
and
we
don't
even
know
what's
going
on,
but
for
you
know,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
apologize
to
Tabitha,
Kerr
or
liliana's
law.
She
gave
to
us.
Council
members
and
I
was
really
passionate
about
it
at
first
and
we
had
me
and
tap
had
dialogue
and
like
a
lot
of
things
in
the
city
and
I'm
guilty
of
it.
G
You
know
like
the
flooding
when
it's
not
flooding,
it's
it's
not
topical
anymore
and
I
apologize
to
Tabitha
for
not
staying
on
this
and
she's
she's
very,
very
strong
force
on
this,
and
you
can
tell,
by
her
talking
she's,
talked
to
a
lot
of
people
and
I
apologize
to
you
and
I'm
not
going
to
drop
the
ball
with
this
one.
As
far
as
the
crossing
guards
go,
one
of
the
residents
mentioned
that
there's
there's
a
gentleman.
G
That's
applied
for
a
crossing
guard,
he's
a
military,
veteran
retired
and
he's
been
jumping
through
hoops
to
get
a
crossing
guard,
and
these
are
paying
jobs
right
and
for
some
reason
this
guy
has
not
been
approved.
There's
there's
things
going
on
that
they
say
he
has
to
do
stuff,
but
he's
already
done
it.
G
We
got
to
streamline
this
situation
because
we
need
crossing
guards.
You
know,
I'm
a
crossing
guard
and
I
volunteer
I,
don't
get
paid,
we
pay
the
city
of
Dearborn.
Heights
pays
these
crossing
guards,
so
I
want
to
challenge
everyone,
get
off
your
butts
and
get
out
there
and
volunteer
for
a
crossing
guard
or
get
a
job
payment.
It
does
pay.
G
G
Where
that
big
white
line
goes
across,
where
you
have
to
stop,
they
put
the
speed
bump
there
where,
when
you
take
you
stop
and
when
you
take
off,
you
have
to
go
over
this
bump,
so
you're
more
Vigilant
of
what's
going
on
around
you
having
speed
bumps
all
over
the
roads,
that's
some
something
different
and
they
they
are
removable.
They're,
like
giant
rubber
mats
with
a
big
hump
in
them,
and
you
take
them
off.
Have
them
there
for
nine
months
out
of
the
year
is
better
have
not
than
not
have
them
there
at
all.
G
G
It
goes
right
on
top
and
it
it
flashes
constantly
all
day
and
it's
and
then
even
at
night
time
until
they
until
they
die,
and
you
know
tragically,
a
lot
of
this
talk
is
about
you
know
cars
at
school,
dropping
off
and
that's
that's
a
couple
hours
a
day,
but
that's
when
most
of
our
kids
are.
You
know
around
these
schools,
but
the
situation
is
General.
Speeding
and
tragically
this
event
with
Joey
happened
at
night.
G
It
wasn't
during
school
hours,
drop-off
time
not
to
disgrade
or
anything
drop
off
periods
and
what
the
problems
we
have
there.
You
know
we
should.
You
know
we,
we
voted,
I
didn't
vote
for
it,
but
the
city
council
vote
for
2.5
million
dollars
to
resize
and
take
a
fix
up
a
golf
course.
We
better
find
some
money
to
do
this,
I
mean
we
better.
G
If,
if
not,
you
know
heads
or
Heads
Will
Roll
on
this
deal,
because
that
that
that
night,
when
Joey
got
killed,
it
was
on
social
media
and
I
said
to
my
wife.
Oh
my
gosh
I
feel
so
sorry
for
that
family,
because
I
know
what
it's
like
I
didn't
know.
It
was
someone
I
knew
or
I
didn't
notice,
the
situation
or
the
other
details,
but
I
drive
by
that
intersection
every
day
and
there's
a
memorial
there
I
don't
know
if
Katie
drives
by
there
or
not
there's
almost
gosh
darn
it.
G
Let's,
let's
do
a
let's
do
a
practice:
let's
buy
four
speed,
humps
or
bumps
put
them
on
that
all
four
of
those
stop
signs.
So
if
someone
mentioned
when
she
goes
by
there
they'll
say
I
start
at
least
something's
happening,
let's
not
just
fall
by
the
wayside.
I'll
talk
about
like
our
Van,
Born,
Court
or
nothing's,
getting
done,
and
all
these
different
things
that
flooding
you
know
we're
handling
stuff,
but
these
are
lives
that
matter
property
can
be
replaced,
but
not
a
life.
W
Chairman
absolutely
go
ahead:
councilman,
okay,
just
today
this
morning,
I
saw
double
parking
at
party
school.
This
should
be
enforced
with
tickets,
so
people
should
not
be
doing
that.
It's
a
big
part
of
the
problem
in
that
area
and
we're
talking
again
Annapolis
and
RD.
Also,
it's
not
just
the
council,
the
police,
the
school
boards
for
individuals
to
do,
but
the
whole
Community
has
to
participate
in
this.
We
have
to
find
the
funds
we
have
to
work
together
and
we
have
to
do
it
very
soon.
Thank
you.
E
Yeah
and
people
who
drive
cars,
especially
me,
I
mean
I'm.
You
know,
I,
it's
former
state
representative,
Geno
polidori
got
arrested
soul.
When
I
came
into
the
legislature,
he
had
been
in
two
years.
He
initiated
the
law
that
became
no
texting
while
driving
at
T,
which
this
was
a
few
years
ago.
You
know
was
one
of
the
biggest
cell
phone
providers
fought
at
tooth
and
L
and
they
have
a
ton
of
resources.
They
tried
to
make
it,
for
example,
an
issue
about.
Well,
then,
the
police
are
going
to
be
able
to
stop.
E
People,
like
is
our
City
attorney.
Roger
mentioned
was
done
with
the
seat
belts
and
having
said
that,
how
many
of
us
have
driven
and
seen
a
car
at
the
light
in
front
of
us
not
move
when
it
turns
green
or
on
Gino?
You
saw
his
point
out.
We'd
be
driving
through
and
from
Lansing
see
that
car
weaving
the
person
would
be
on
their
cell
phone.
E
B
I
really
like
to
see
a
solution
that
will
stay
there,
12
months
out
of
the
Year
99
months
out
of
the
year.
I
know:
Mr
Divi
mentioned
something
and
I
think.
What's
the
speed
table
instead
of
speed
hump,
so
I
would
like
to
ask:
maybe
Chief
Rogan
I
mean
I,
know
probably
I
mean
the
speed
hump
and
the
bomb
probably
is
gonna
mess
with
your
vehicles.
What
about
the
speed
table
is
that
something
that
would
be
better.
U
I,
just
don't
know
enough
about
any
of
them
to
give
a
good
answer
right
now,
but
I
I
would
like
to
I
mean
I've
seen
I've
seen
the
diff
different
styles,
but
I
don't
know
it's
like
to
take
a
truck
over
them.
I've
been
texting
with
some
guys
from
Detroit
right
now.
I
haven't
got
to
answer
the
ones
that
have
that
I'm
getting
in
touch
with
they
haven't
been
put
in
their
area
yet
well,.
U
U
Our
biggest
concern
is
like,
like
we
want,
whatever
is
going
to
be
best
to
keep
everyone
safe
too.
We've
gotten
into
this
profession
to
keep
people
safe.
The
last
thing
we
want
to
do
is
you
know
and
get
hurt
like
especially
what
happened
if
well
yeah
I
guess
I
will
set
I,
don't
know
enough
about
the
speed
bumps,
humps
and
tables
to
thank
you.
A
A
You
know,
I,
don't
know
about
you
guys,
but
I
like
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
the
people
that
are
involved
in
the
in
this
the
decision
makers,
whether
it's
the
legislative
part,
the
administrative
part,
the
police
work
DPW.
Our
engineer
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
people
here.
They
are
able
to
help
make
decisions
that
can
take
the
city
forward
in
the
right
direction
for
this.
So
with
that
being
the
case,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
and
I
think
I
spoke
with
grandfather,
Mr,
Smith
and
I
told
him
earlier
before
the
meeting
started.
A
This
is
not
going
to
solve
everything
tonight.
I
I
knew
that
for
a
fact,
but
just
going
to
get
the
conversation
started,
and
you
know
I
personally
am
vouching
there
I'm
going
to
continue
as
much
as
I
can
to
keep
this
thing
moving
forward.
I
I
would
like
you
know,
for
whoever
is
here
from
the
school
board
members,
whether
here
in
person
or
on
Zoom,
to
continue
to
push
the
city
forward
continue
to
push
yourselves
forward
the
residents
of
course,
A
lot
of
them
got
to
be
careful.
All
of
us
got
to
do
better.
A
A
G
You
know
and
everything
because
we
we
get
questions
I
I
got
three
or
four
questions
in
this
past
week
and
they're
saying
you
know,
what's
going
on,
what's
this
meeting
about
and
I
I
didn't
know,
we
were
having
discussions
already.
You
know
so
it'd
be
nice
if
we
knew
what
was
going
on
so
we
can
tell
and
then
okay
well.
