River Trails Homeowners Association

I think having an ordiance really would be a good idea.  Salado is not wide enough for everyone to park their cars in the street nor handle the amount of thru-traffic.   I am grateful that our neighborhood drives slow down that road and each of us pull over for the other but it is a pain.  Perhaps narrow streets should have an ordinance placed on them not to park in the street - but it is a little late for that.    Has there been any further discussion about expanding one of the other streets all the way to 820?  I know there was talk about it a year or so ago?  Rivertrails Blvd?  I thought that was why it was so wide? 

Parking on the street out of necessity is one thing, but there are many who park there instead of their empty driveways.  It is in that situation that it becomes frustrating. 

As to slowing down, I already go well below the speed limit, yet it won't matter how slow I am going if someone steps out from behind something.  And God forbid something like that happen, because I would not be able to "get over it."

Until this last year, I don't remember Salado being as crowded as it has become.  Is that just me or has anyone else noticed it?

fat guy in a little coat you should relax a little.  I live in the front of the subdivision if you must know, and the crowded streets are a danger and I don't like it either, griping on this forum does little good.  An ordinance wouldn't do any good, because our area would be grandfathered.  Blame it on the developer who didn't put these restrictions in the deeds.

River Trails Blvd was originally supposed to go all the way through to Trinity bu in 2001 our HOA stopped that.  Mr. Duboise was on the committee that was formed to get it stopped, I was at the council(p&z) meeting.  Their "concern" was with people using it to cut through the sub-division, my "concern" was that people cutting through anyway would use the more narrow more densely vehicularly populated narrow streets to cut through putting our children at risk...several speed humps later and several years past my point proven...way to go!!!  That's also why there is a city dump behind our houses instead of what was plotted as a street(River Trails Blvd).
