PLEASE NOTE: On Blog-Lebo, we do not publish anonymous comments. You must put your name to your words. Include your full name in the text of your comment (usually at the end), and you’ll be fine. Or post from a Blogger account having a public profile that includes your full name. Either way will work. But if you don’t include your name, or if we have reason to believe the name on your comment isn’t authentic, we will not be able to publish your comment.
Why must I use my full name?
When you post a comment on Blog-Lebo, you are making a public statement. Therefore, we require that you accept responsibility for your words. Just like at a public meeting of the school board or municipal government, when you stand to speak on Blog-Lebo, you must state your full name. That way, everyone will know who is speaking, and you will know that you’re responsible for what you say.
The problem, longstanding, is apparently that parked cars in those 5 or 6 spaces create a *choke point* in what is supposed to be 2-lane traffic flow, particularly during weekday rush hours.
ReplyDeleteI believe the Mt. Lebanon Commission will possibly consider no parking in those spaces during rush hours on a trial basis to see if the traffic and safety problems are eliminated or significantly reduced. If not, the next step would be removal. The Chief of Police seemed OK with this approach during a recent public discussion session.
