Trailer park traffic chaos endangers children at local park
During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the overcrowding and safety issues at a trailer court located on 25th Street. Residents reported that the area is severely congested with parked cars, leaving little room for traffic and creating hazardous conditions for children using a nearby park.

The trailer court has requested permission to add more trailers, exacerbating the parking situation. Currently, vehicles are parked on both sides of the street, with some residents resorting to parking on driveways and sidewalks. One particular vehicle, a red pickup truck, has been abandoned for weeks, highlighting the issue of long-term parking without movement.

The park, which underwent significant improvements over the past 14 years, has become a focal point for children after school. However, the lack of safe crossing areas has raised alarms among residents. Children frequently run across the street without looking for oncoming traffic, particularly at a curve where vehicles often exceed 30 miles per hour. This combination of factors has led to fears of potential accidents, prompting calls for immediate action to address the safety risks posed to the community's youth.
