My husband and I do have opinions about what happens to the school district property. We live on First Street. We moved to First Street in 2014 fully knowing about the traffic on our street. The problem is that since Covid,the traffic and noise on First Street has almost doubled. Not sure if it is because people are not using public transportation or just because highway 84 is not a reliable freeway. It is already out of hand. First Street is NOT a highway built for such traffic. It is a residential street that has become increasingly more dangerous to all our citizens due to: the sheer volume of traffic, people speeding at all hours of the day and night(unless they simply cannot due to backup),the number of emergency vehicles racing to fires and the nearby nursing home multiple times daily,the traffic competing with the Meadowlark Dairy Line daily, the farmers market, etc. The unbelievable loudness of the traffic has decreased our well-being in our First Street neighborhood.
