Shoulder isn’t a turn

I wonder when the city is going to contact the state or whoever they need to about putting a sign or barricades there at Selma and Malone. People making a right turn on the shoulder. It’s not a right turn. It’s been discussed in the paper I don’t know how many times. They are doing the same thing, making a right turn off South Main into Aldi on the shoulder, which is also not a right turn lane. I know DPS is short-staffed but maybe if DPS starts giving some tickets these issues would stop. The state apparently doesn’t care anything it. I was just wondering if the city can make the state do something about it.

We recommend contacting the city. This is something that could possibly be handled by the traffic committee.

Lashmet apartments are drug house

This Speakout is on North Ingram. I am concerned about the apartments off Lashmet. The drug activity there has increased over the last couple years. There’s been a knife incident in the last year and just last year there, there was a shooting. The drug trafficking there has increased over the last year. Cars come and go every 10 minutes. The city needs to step up patrol there or get these apartments looked at. It is now a drug hub of Sikeston, Missouri. Lashmet Apartments off North Ingram. Something has to be done about these.
