Bridge Debris Threat to Ewingville Drive

A Ewingville neighbor took these pictures of the the bridge over the Harpeth River on Murfreesboro Road on October 29, 2016.  One half of the opening under the bridge is obstructed with debris.

Pictures made from the bridge.  Click on any picture to enlarge.
Several months ago this was called to the attention of our Alderman at Large Anne Petersen.  She stated that she would notify Storm Drains… Joe York.  For some time there has been one piece of equipment on the bank.  Removing the debris is the responsibility of TDOT!  It may be initiated by the city.

Please see the contact information for you to use.  While there has been little October rain the usual weather pattern always puts lots of water on this area.
Memories of the flood of 2010 remain strong with Ewingville. Please help us all by bringing this matter to the attention of City of Franklin, Storm Drains.

Speed on Ewingville..consequences!

The Ewingville Drive deer population was struck on September 5, 2016.  

This small fawn, still with white spots, was brutally struck and killed in front of 114 Ewingville.  It was hit so hard that the body was ripped open.
The senseless speeding vehicle likely hit between 10:00 PM on September 4 and 6:30 AM on September 5 when discovered by a walker.  A possible suspect is a local, daily delivery.
 
The police non-emergency # ( 615-794-2513) was called. The police said it was a holiday and no one was working.  The deer was in the middle of the street and this was stated.  A police car was dispatched and two hours later the deer remained in the street.  Calling again determined that they had come and found nothing!  Since a neighbor was standing there at the site the police were told this.  Apparently the solution was to drag the deer to the right away.  

Buzzards appeared in droves.  Several hours later only the skeleton, head and skin remained in the ditch.

Posted speed limit on Ewingville Drive is 25 mph.  
Anyone with information of this speeder
