To: Chief of Police and City Manager of Coatesville: ROAD RAGE, Traffic Issues and Noise Violations:

We have laws on the books that are not being fully enforce effectively or perhaps not at all in the City of Coatesville

We need a TRAFFIC TASK FORCE because apparently we do not have enough police to handle these repeated, continued violations:

• No Turn Signals,
• Running RED Lights,
• Not stopping fully at Stop Signs,
• No Turn Signals,
• U-Turns in middle of street,
• Parking on wrong side of street,
• Vehicles park in middle of street with NO Emergency Lights on and sometimes no driver.
• Drivers stopped in middle of the street while talking to someone,
• Drivers leaving vehicle in middle of street for 5 to 25 minutes while visiting someone, while music playing so loud... the pictures on my wall shake.

There is a law against loud music & noise disturbances coming from vehicles & motor cycles (especially in summer). The issue is exacerbated by the vulgar & nasty lyrics.

These issues are causing stress, anxiety, (safety issues especially). Some are becoming angry, because traffic is being blocked (repeatedly). And I am one of them.
I have addressed some of these issues for years by talking to people; however, things have changed and I have to be careful because, I could get hurt. I do this because...
THIS IS MY NEIBORHOOD and I am doing something about it.

We need more police and tasks force created to address these issues. I also want some feedback from the Police Department and City Manager regarding these issues and on how many issues are being addressed by ticket violations etc.

I am very upset about this. I would like to help in anyway I can. Truthfully… I don't even want to live here anymore.

PS – And no one should have to call in every time to make a complaint if the police see this happening and do not act.

Respectfully,
Carmen Campbell
