Board of Aldermen 11-26-2019 Page 17

| even had an UBER recently actually the day of the parade that we were all in. The UBER must've
come down Oak Street, parked in front of my house and proceeded to go towards Kinsley Street in the
wrong direction. | am concerned that maybe the sign isn’t bright enough. Maybe the other signage
isn’t working. | do believe as you get towards the end of our street because it is a school zone, it is
supposed to be reduced down to 20, nobody listens to that either. Oftentimes I'll hear or my wife will
hear people just zipping down the street, especially when recently the street was unpaved and it was
just the stone that was out there, you could hear them rumble right down in the middle of the night. Our
bedroom happens to be right in the front of the house and the vehicles would just fly right down. Itis an
unsafe situation and from personal experience, | know when | was living in Laconia the street, we lived
on prior to moving back to Nashua, just after my family and | moved back here, there was a terrible
accident on that street. That was Messer Street in Laconia that was right next to the Middle School in
that City as well. Two little girls were hit by a drunken driver and then the vehicle that hit them
proceeded to back up and re-back over them which is a very sad and traumatic situation to have
happened.

My concern is with there being, you know, my next-door neighbor has children that use these Special
Ed buses. We see a lot of school buses coming down there. We see a lot of students going to the
school. My concern is there is going to be a situation like that where we are going to see somebody get
hurt coming down Elm Street. Maybe there should be added patrols, better signage, | don’t know what
but | do know that even my neighbor to the other side of me was warning me that once the road gets
paved, it is going to be like a little mini-speedway coming down that section of Elm Street from Kinsley
to Otterson. | don’t know. There are a few issues there that | am a bit concerned about; definitely the
speeding and definitely maybe more signage needs to be put up promoting that it is a one-way.
Because nobody really pays attention to those one-way signs as it is and definitely, | am really
concerned about the speeding and the children in my neighborhood. Thank you.

And also, the Board here, Happy Thanksgiving this week. And | hope you have a lot to be thankful for
this year. | know | certainly have a lot to be thankful for. That’s all | have to say this evening, and you
have a great evening. Thank you.

Alderman Schmiat

What he said.

Alderman Tencza

| just want to wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving too. | think we have a lot to be thankful for here in
the City. We have a lot to be thankful for as a group on this Board so thank you to all my colleagues
that | have had the chance to serve with over the last 2 years; looking forward to serving at least a
couple more with you folks.

The other thing | just wanted to mention a lot of people, it is a great time of year for a lot of people.
What a lot of you don’t realize is that tomorrow night, Wednesday before Thanksgiving, is Known as
Black Wednesday for a lot of people because people go out, drunk driving incidents and arrests raised
from tomorrow night through New Year’s significantly. So you know let’s have a great Thanksgiving
and Thanksgiving Weekend here in Nashua but let’s all please remember to be responsible, be
respectful and stay safe. Thank you.
