Our streets in Cahaba Heights used to be a diamond in the rough until Rathmall Park. East Street and Hillway Drive are Dead End streets and were never intended to withstand at this amount of traffic and wear and tear. The City Of Vestavia should’ve never allowed another city to access this tiny neighborhood, wether for their city works dept or for this park that does not belong to VESTAVIA.I understand that local businesses like the traffic for their own benefit and business. A proper entrance needs to be built with the only access going through the city of Mountain Brook. That will solve all of the issues.
The VOLUME of cars is profusely excessive. Speeding is a problem too. Walking is dangerous even on the tiny sidewalk on East St. The roads are narrow. Not to many years ago East Street was dirt. It was once described by a late Cahaba Heights citizen and city council member as nothing more than a paved cow path! My mailbox has been completely driven over and they drove through my yard. I can guess it was swerving to avoid hitting another car. I grew up here. My whole life Mountain Brook used the site for there public works vehicles. It was honestly never a problem. They came and went peacefully and slowly. With the addition of the soccer field, the volume of traffic and danger to our kids and decline in property values is out of control and a disgrace. I truly do not believe Mountain Brook will ever do anything unless Vestavia forces them. Year after year it seems to worsen.
during soccer or lacrosse practices or games The majority don’t seem to stop at the stop sign on white oak drive and Greendale Road. A slow rolling “stop” or they just slowdown to make the turn left onto Greendale. I hate walking and crossing as YOU have to be sure they stop before crossing. Travel too fast on Greendale Road still don’t understand why we can’t get speed bumps on Greendale. They are all over the place in other communities in Vestavia Mt
Brook Homewood Hoover. Or a 4 way stop sign at bottom of hill at Bearden Drive.
My daughter goes to school a few blocks away from where this accident occured. I have seen several road closure on this intersection due to fatal accidents. We need change at these types of intersections.
Our family has lived in the Little Italy neighborhood since early in the 1900's. Erecting another high rise building just adds to the massive corporate takeover of the local area. I oppose the Highh Rise Columbia Street Aparment Development, which will only serve to increase the density of an already dense area of our town.
This is a neighborhood of narrow, one-way streets and cottages. We're also blessed with folks who do their best to navigate the confusion to enjoy the wonderful, locally owned restaurants. Trying to build a 161-unit building on this narrow street is like squeezing a full grown woman i to Barbie clothes. Doesn't fit and no one is comfortable.
This is such a great community contribution focused on the kids of Woodbury. As a Woodbury resident since 1969 before I was even old enough to attend elementary school, I’ve never seen such a fun event planned by a neighborhood. And, it would be awesome to see other neighborhoods follow suite if they wanted to. One night for neighborhood fun for our kids. Thank you for considering!
