"the police and sheriff department are down the block as well as the court house and county jail there is a lot of semi truck traffic because of 2 warehouses the speed limit is 25 mph and these trucks do not follow the speed limit as well as the factory workers driving down the street like it's a NASCAR track there are a lot of children on this block and it's going to take a child getting hit by a vehicle to have the police or sheriff's department patrol more frequently mind you both departments are less than 1 block away"
