Ask Mr. Answer Person: Did the Sears loading dock issue ever get resolved?"

Posted: Tue, Nov 29, 2011 4:55 PM

"Dear Mr. Answer Person, What did the Decorah Street Committee decide on the question of getting semis into the back of the Sears store without ending up on Steven Olson's property? Did this ever get resolved?

Mr. Answer Person contacted Steven Olson, who replied, "A permanent resolution was not achieved.  Sear's semis are still coming to a complete stop multiple times in the middle of the street, backing against traffic, and blocking both lanes of traffic in the middle of Short Street as they attempt to jack knife in the middle of the road.  Vehicles are still turning around to avoid the long delay for the middle of the street to get cleared. 

Winter is just around the corner, and with snow and ice, the situation usually gets a lot worse because of the downhill slope and the curb being covered with snow, so stay tuned!"
