The New Albany Board of Public Works & Safety met on October 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM in Room 100 of City Hall. The Board addressed resident concerns about alley speeding, approved a geotechnical investigation for a road reconstruction project, and approved multiple items for the pageant development site. City officials also reported on ongoing infrastructure projects. All votes were unanimous.
Yeah. Yeah. We already said morning. All order the October 13th, 2026 meeting with the Board of Public Works and Safety. We'll begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. One nation with liberty is just the scroll. Wish to address board model agenda. There's a sign in sheet podium and sign in, we'll call you later at the meeting. Tyler Bryant. Here we go. Okay. Yeah. Um so today we like we heard we live at the 2100 block Reno Avenue. Um we have a child who is autistic. There's an alleyway right next to us that people speed through and have for years. Um a kid actually almost got hit because extremely close. They slammed on the bricks, street tires. Um it's a constant ongoing issue. We've contacted police about it many times. Nothing ever really gets done about it. Um all of our neighbors in the community, we've had the speed bump done ourselves, plastic ones. Um they have been removed, so we were hoping to either get a stop sign or speed bumps put in there along with children at play and autism uh awareness. An autistic child sign for our side of it would say level two autistic. I'm sorry, you say your side is level two autistic, and we live directly right beside the alleyway. He is one of the kids who has almost been hit by specifically a red truck that goes through all the time about 40 miles an hour. What's the reason for the people driving through the alley? Are they using just as a cut through or do they actually live right there? Both. Both. Oh, okay. Yeah, but there's many access points other than that alleyway and be treated like a NASCAR race. They don't come to a stop at Reno. They just plow straight through. There's not a stop there at all. They come from either Market Street or the other back alley behind Reno, and from that distance, you should not be going 40 miles an hour from Market to Reno. That's not a big stretch. Are the kids is there a yard that backs up to the alley? Are they playing in the yard? What's the same? Yes, there is a yard is directly beside it. There's three yards that back up to that alley. So they're playing in the yard, not the alley. Yeah. There's children that do play in the alleyway. They drive by seven down because it's safer than them being on the streets. Um along with that, there is uh entrance to our back gate and our neighbor's driveway garage and that alley.
