I am always amazed how people with kids think
they are justified to lecture and inconvience
others in the name of their children. I have
neighbors that yell from their yards for you
to slow down if you're doing over 15mph. (Really
no joke). I've consistantly driven 20 and had
them follow to my driveway to tell me to slow.
I've asked what they think the speed limit is,
they responded with 25mph. They still insist
I am driving too fast due to their kids playing
in the road. You can imagine how the conversation
Went when I informed them that I was not breaking
any laws and that their kids belonged in their yard
and not the road.

This is a public street that anyone at anytime can and will drive down whether or not this constuction is going on! These people are just trying to cost us taxpayers money now by calling out the cops and taking up their valuable time for something unimportant! I am sure these folks have back yards for their kids to play in but now, they flaunt them close to the street while traffic is going by (I have seen this)!They all need to just quit griping and let this project get done and find something better to do with their lives. It makes me wonder, what are they putting those poor work men through???

So....the people live on a street and don't want cars going by? Are you kidding me?

Also, the selfish people parking on the street so traffic is backing up is just stupid. Park in your driveways, park in the parking lot during the day. Quit making it worse.

I drove down 8th earlier in the week and there was this woman standing in the roadway yelling at Coos Bay Police Officers about the volume of traffic! In the mean time, I believe it was her very young children playing unattended inside a van!! I don't understand this??? Does she really think those officers have any control of the traffic being re-routed down "her street?" Having a police officer running radar on that road would be nice maybe but not very practical considering the limited number of officers and the entire city which needs patroling and the calls for service which have to be tended to. Everyone on that street needs to have patience and make the best of this for the short period of time it is going to take to re-open 10th street. As for the belligerent woman on 8th taking up the officers valuable time...get a grip!!

Of course they are.

Because thats what nosy, NIMBY, busy-body neighbors do. They complain.

Just relax and let these guys do their job.

I drive through that area up to multiple times a day and I think the flow of traffic is as well as can be expected. Just let the men do their work, I'm sure they're working as fast as they can to get that water main put back together.

It appears to me that this is a pretty important project that has to be done,and in the end it will help the people on this street. I noticed that there are parking spaces across the road from the homes. During the day, when the traffic is the heaviest why not park your cars there and it might not be so congested? People SHOULD respect these neighbors and drive slowly through there as they do have little ones, I have seen them playing. And to Barack Obama, you deserved that ticket!

I was playing softball the other night and found that their was absolutely no parking spots. I ended up parking my car on the curb. I got a parking ticket. I tried to tell the officer that there was no where else to park and he said "tough".

I say post NO PARKING ON THE STREET SIGNS and make the residents park in their own ******* driveways...

What a mess!!! How long do you think they will drag this out added to that eyesore bad karma of a skate park, those are my old digs and oh how it has deteriated. My 2 daughters were born in McAuley Hospital, 12/1964 & 6/1967.

The parking on 8th must be banned for the duration. Issue resident only permits for the head-in spaces above the ball field, and ban all curbside parking. The squeaky wheel always gets the grease, but there is no guarantee they will like where the grease is applied.

Oh your just being territorial. Deal with it, its not going to last forever. Geez ppl, get a grip.

I take that detour every single day right at lunch time. It seems to me that every one is driving just fine, at least then anyway. Naturally it is going to be busy because that is a heavily traveled road (10th St.). Sometimes we just have to bear with things for a while and that seems to be the most logical detour for that location.

With the residents cars parked along the curb there isn't even enough room for traffic to pass each other. When I went throught yesterday AM we had to take turns driving down the street. You would think someone would have been smarter than this. Either re-route traffic differently, post no parking signs on the street or there will be an accident.

why cant the police dept. put one of those speed detecting machines up...that always makes me double check my speed while driving...something needs to be done..
