Problems continue with semis making deliveries on Short Street

On Monday night, City of Decorah officials promised to help a Decorah resident straighten out problems involving semi-trailers making deliveries to the Sears store in Decorah.

But on Wednesday afternoon, another semi ran over concrete barriers and the driveway of Decorah resident Steven Olson.

On Monday night Olson told members of the city's Streets Committee that semis have pulled up into his driveway, cracking the cement.  He says the semis have also pulled through his yard, causing deep tire ruts.  Olson put concrete bumpers at the bottom of the driveway and steel posts in his yard, but the semis have run over the bumpers.

On Wednesday, another semi trying to deliver goods to the Sears store again ran over Olson's property:
