JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Scottsboro, Alabama - August 26, 2019 - Scottsboro City Council Regular Session - Cecil Street Designated as Truck Route

Truck Route designated as Cecil Street - huh? Was there a sit down with all concerned regarding receivers and shippers, was the Mayor and Police chief involved in the decision making? What is this about Phase 2, permitting (That is a disaster in the making.) and maybe Phase 3? Does the city council know what they are doing regarding this issue? 
THE ANSWER - NO - The city council must communicate effectively with the appropriate city officials and those businesses this will effect. 
MR PATRICK STEWART, CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT, and others, it seems you are more concerned about your electability and appeasement of a few rather than leadership and sensible decision making. 
BRAVO to Mr. Bailey for voting no on the designation of Cecil Street as the truck route.

Note the traffic pattern problems of Cecil St. there are many times big trucks exiting off or onto Cecil St. with this traffic pattern would not be able to make the turns onto or off of S. Broad St. without hitting another vehicle. The current traffic pattern, turn lanes, does not facilitate turning without traffic congestion, backups or collision.
