This is yet again not a new problem for the city.

I spent my formative years in the Aviation Subdivision...between Wyoming and Schafer on Tireman. If you look at a map, you'll see to major diagonal streets intersecting at Meyers/Miller and Tireman.

In the forties and fifties, they had trouble with drag racers on Littlefield. The city apparently did nothing. [[go figure) So the residents stacked up sandbags to force a chicane in the route which was eventually made into a permanent 'feature' in the road.

It worked there because there were other quick ways around the park for emergency vehicles, I'd bet. Fire Trucks never had trouble getting to Meyers, which was 'cut off' by the park closure, which probably happened at the same time those chicanes were built.


I've used them all my life to test suspension modifications and neutral handling from alignments...LOL. Always looking for my best speed through 'em...


Cheers,
John
