We wanted to give a heads up that soccer camps start up Monday March 31st-May 31st. Monday-Friday from 4 PM to 8:45. We do know this includes several groups who gather for part of that time. But Butler was not able to give us an estimate of the number of people attending since these camps are not ran by Butler.
We expect more of a presence from the Butler Police Department during these times. And Butler has adjusted the timing of the gates to be open leading to the fields. Last year the gates were closing early making it more difficult for the people to get in out and out in a timely manner.
We strongly suggest using 53rd street, if you can, during these times. We have asked Butler police to be more vigilant of people breaking the lawas for speeding and disobeying stop signs at these times. Last year they reported that 7 out of 10 people stopped were Rocky Ripple residents. So please be warned.
We have met with Butler expressing our concerns with the large amount of traffic. We have talked to both DPW and our city county councilour John Barth about the siutation. Although We have not found a solution to the traffic, we are doing our best to put pressure on Butler to help find a solution.
We will be monitoring the traffic and will to keep pushing for solutions to the congestion, traffic violations and the trash beeing dumped.
