I WILL NEVER LET YOU FORGET THAT ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2022 THE TOWN OF FARRAGUT AND A COUPLE OF ADMIRAL ROAD & SONJA DRIVE RESIDENTS OPENLY DISCUSSED BLOCKING A NEIGHBOR CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR FROM TRAVELING TO THE STORE IN HER WHEELCHAIR VIA ADMIRAL ROAD!!! DISGUSTING BIGOTRY PLAIN AND SIMPLE!

Confirmed by the Fire Department; Town of Farragut officials are LIARS, EMS vehicles have to come to a stop when crossing speed bumps. Wake up PEOPLE!

Seconds count! The Town of Farragut will be responsible when EMS doesn’t arrive in time and someone dies!!!

SPEED BUMPS DO NOT SLOW DOWN THESE MORONS FLYING ACROSS THE SPEED BUMP AT 11134 SONJA DRIVE.

IF ANYONES KID IS EVER INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF PEOPLE FLYING OVER THE SPEED BUMP AT 11134 SONJA DRIVE, I HAVE THREE 24/7 SECURITY CAMERAS DEDICATED TO THIS SPEED BUMP THAT WILL AID IN PROSECUTION AND ALSO HOLDING THE TOWN OF FARRAGUT LIABLE.

Whoever the MORON is that came up with the idea of putting speed bumps designed for a 15 MPH speed limit on a road with a 25 MPH SPEED LIMIT should be FIRED!

100% Video Proof that Morality CAN NOT be Mandated with Illegal Speed Bumps, it must be cited with hefty fines!

 

 

 

 

But how can we possibly make the statement we can 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt ever prove that illegal speed bumps do not slow down immoral people who speed through our neighborhoods?

How can we possibly 100% prove the selfish proponents of speed bumps where their #1 weapon is to invoke the name of “innocent children” only care about you speeding on their road?

How can we possibly 100% prove they don’t care about the “innocent children” they like to invoke?

Ding Ding Ding Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!!

Why not use their #1 weapon against them and catch them RED HANDED right in their very own backyards!

Why not use their “innocent children” against them so to speak and catch them speeding through school drop-off zones every single day.

Boy howdy were we surprised at what we discovered! Actually we were not surprised at all.

You have to understand one thing; whether they realize what they are doing or not these selfish bigots that want to block a group of disabled Americans from simply going to and from their homes DO NOT care about “innocent children” at all.

They just do not want you speeding on their road!

How do we prove that speed bumps on public roads are illegal? By reading the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, that’s how!

As long as Americans with Disabilities civil rights are being violated with illegal speed bumps we do not plan to stop exposing until every single illegal speed bump littering our public streets are removed! We will do the job our media refuses to address.

@KCSSuper Dr. Jon Rysewyk Over 99% of the vehicles entering the school property are running the 4-way stop entering Farragut Intermediate School, Farragut Middle School and Farragut High School.

As seen in the footage that was taken over only 52 minutes on a Friday morning, practically every single vehicle entering Knox County School property is subject to traffic citations for running the 4-way stop signs and speeding up to 30+ MPH in the 5 MPH zone on the Intermediate & Middle School drop-off side and 10 MPH zone on the High School side.

Unfortunately, parents and guardians are not the only offenders. Staff and students as well as school bus drivers and Knox County School vehicles are putting our innocent kids lives at risk.

It is imperative for Knox County Schools, the Knox County Sheriffs Department and the Knoxville Police Department to IMMEDIATELY take responsibility for enforcing traffic laws on the school campus to ensure a safer environment not just for our kids but for everyone involved.

@knoxschools It is unfortunate that Knox County Schools has been caught up in the impact illegal speed bumps on our public roads have on a certain group of Americans with disabilities that are being blocked from simply going to and from their own homes. The effects these illegal speed bumps have on this group of disabled Americans regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 could be a useful civics lesson for our kids. Unfortunately bigotry and prejudice is at the forefront of the speed bump debacle. Another great school lesson topic.

Regardless, as seen in the videos practically every single vehicle that enters Farragut Intermediate School, Farragut Middle School and Farragut High School at the 4-way stop coming from Kingston Pike runs the 4-way stop with speeds up to 30+ MPH in the 5 MPH & 10 MPH drop-off zones. Most likely every other Knox County School as well.

Knox County Schools has the responsibility for the safety of our children to IMMEDIATELY ensure strict adherence to traffic regulations on all school properties. For quite some time it has been very very lax!

@GlennJacobsTN Mr. Knox County Mayor you claim on your Twitter to “protect our freedom”. How about you protect the civil rights and freedom of a group of disabled Americans who are being blocked from simply going to and from their homes and remove these illegal speed bumps from our “PUBLIC” roads?

@knoxsheriff Knox County Sheriff we have serious traffic violations at our schools and neighborhoods and we need some immediate commonsense help. The 3-way stop @ Admiral Road & Sonja Drive needs some help too before someones child is killed walking to school!

@townoffarragut Town of Farragut, anyone there? HELLO?

@farragutpress1 Farragut Press? crickets

@timburchett I know you are covered up with aliens and stuff like that but when you get a few minutes how about doing something useful and read the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 and create some legislation than bans the use of illegal speed bumps on public streets that block a certain group of Americans with disabilities from simply going to and from their home. Please?

@RepTimBurchett Just trying to get your attention. We are fed up with taxation without representation!

You want 100% Proof that Speed Bumps Do Not Work? Well here you go! What better way to prove it than with the “innocent children” you people like to invoke.

 

Sonja Drive and Admiral Road Speed Bumps;
Do You Really Want Them?
If Not, Make Sure To Return The Ballot You Receive From The Town of Farragut; They are Counting on You Not Returning Your Ballot. It is the Only Way They Can Reach 50% Neighbors!!!

Organized Discrimination?!?!?! Has The Town of Farragut & Knox County Committed Civil Rights Violations?!?!?!

 

 

 

 

Speed Bumps were just defeated in September 2022 so why is The Town of Farragut allowing this to move forward again? CORRUPTION?!?!?! The Town of Farragut online traffic calming policy states applications cannot be reconsidered for 2 years. They can’t even follow their own rules!

This is an abuse of Taxpayer money with no transparency whatsoever!!! FOLLOW THE MONEY NEIGHBORS!

When someone is killed because of a SPEED BUMP and an #ADA attorney with some stones gets ahold of you, its going to cost municipalities a LOT MORE than $1.3 billion.

• “And the third area for review will usually involve the level of exposure the local government might incur from those seeking personal and/or property damage relief as a result of the public policy…” Leslie W. Bunte, Jr., M.P.Aff
• “Traffic calming actions and programs are vulnerable to suit…” Leslie W. Bunte, Jr., M.P.Aff

On Friday July 21, 2023 a Town of Farragut engineer stated to us that a recent change in the Traffic Calming Policy was their reasoning for doing another vote in such a short period of time for Sonja Drive. The Town of Farragut engineer stated to us they took the discriminatory “affected area” out of the traffic calming policy; i.e. the 65% and 50% discriminatory rule. However, the discriminatory 65% and 50% “affected area” rule is still listed on the Town of Farragut online traffic calming policy. Clarification NEEDED!

We called the Town of Farragut’s hand on this discriminatory voting process last year and shortly afterwards for unknown reasons the Town of Farragut put a brief hold on the entire Traffic Calming program. Shortly after, they moved forward with the discriminatory September 2022 vote anyway. DISCRIMINATION?!?!?!

If what the Town of Farragut engineer stated to us is true, we now in essence have a corrupt traffic calming policy by individual street instead of a super majority decision made by entire subdivisions like it used to be and like it still should be. And yes, Admiral Road residents have their separate vote on speed bumps. Just like the 2020 election, cheat until you can win!!!

***Must read Professional Report by Leslie W. Bunte, Jr., B.S. – ADA Implications of Speed Bumps*** http://americandreamcoalition.org/safety/tcdangers.pdf

Please return your NO Vote. A non-vote is the same as a Yes vote and the powers that be are counting on you not returning your vote.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the nation’s strongest law protecting the civil rights of people with disabilities. It prohibits discrimination based on disability and guarantees equal access to public roads, buildings and businesses.

And because of a few people, the residents of Farragut View Subdivision must once again take issue with the Town of Farragut’s speed bump plan for Sonja Drive and Admiral Road.

And if the voting system wasn’t corrupt enough already, they once again changed the rules; 65% approval is required for 1 group of residents and only 50% approval of returned votes is required for a special group of residents in an “affected area”. This is the very definition of DISCRIMINATION?!?!?!

ALL RESIDENTS OF FARRAGUT VIEW SUBDIVISION LIVE IN THE “AFFECTED AREA”. INTERCHANGE A GROUP OF RESIDENTS IN AN “AFFECTED AREA” WITH A GROUP OF “INSERT RACE/DISABILITY HERE” AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE? DISCRIMINATION?!?!?!

Discrimination is the act of making distinctions between people based on the groups, classes, or other categories to which they belong or are perceived to belong.^[1]People may be discriminated on the basis of race, gender, age, religion, disability, or sexual orientation, as well as other categories.^[2]Discrimination especially occurs when individuals or groups are unfairly treated in a way which is worse than other people are treated, on the basis of their actual or perceived membership in certain groups or social categories.^[2][3] It involves restricting members of one group from opportunities or privileges that are available to members of another group.^[4] Wikipedia.

Did you know that my vote is worth more than your vote is? Well according to the Town of Farragut it is and that should piss off everyone regardless of which side of the speed bumps issue you’re on. Giving 1 group of peoples vote more power than another minority groups vote sounds a lot like a Civil Rights Violation and a CORRUPT VOTING PROCESS!!!

WE NEED A CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY TO FIGHT THIS DISCRIMINATION

WE NEED AN ATTORNEY TO FIGHT FOR THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF DISABLED PEOPLE

ALL VOTES SHOULD BE EQUAL – THEY CAN ONLY WIN BY CHEATING

Speed bumps are a detriment to seniors, the disabled and anyone else that suffers from low back pain.

We have a neighbor that travels the steep hill on Admiral Road in a wheelchair; what about her? If you support speed bumps you are saying the hell with her!

As a matter of fact, at the speed bump meeting on September 1, 2022 one resident of Admiral Road did just that and stated; there is enough room that she can get between the speed bumps in the center of the road with her wheelchair. Seriously? This is discrimination against the disabled, plain and simple. IMMORAL & UNGODLY!

Voting No on Speed Bumps is a Selfless Act – Voting Yes is a Selfish Act

Speed Bumps on the steep hill on Admiral Road are a lawsuit in the making at taxpayer expense come snow and ice season, and a second lawsuit when someone in a wheelchair is injured or killed by a speed bump.

Other notable take aways from the speed bump meeting on September 1, 2022:

• When asked to clarify EMS response time, the Town of Farragut official residing over the meeting stated the Fire Chief told him that EMS vehicles do in fact have to slow down for speed bumps. His exact words as I recall were, “well they do have to slow down a little bit”. The Town of Farragut official outright LIED! EMS vehicles have to come to a complete stop crossing speed bumps!!!! Seconds Count in emergency response time. “Based on quantitative processes, this analysis showed that Austin would lose an additional 37 lives per year with patients of sudden cardiac arrest if the Fire and EMS Departments experienced a 30 second delay in response times due to traffic calming.” Leslie W. Bunte, Jr., M.P.Aff
• The Town of Farragut official stated there have been many complaints about the Thornton Road speed bumps.
• He also stated that the speed bumps on Thornton Road are too aggressive and the speed bumps can not be traversed at the speed limit.
• There is a new voting rule requiring 65% approval for one group of residents and only 50% approval for a special group of residents. The residing official did a very poor job of explaining this one even after several questions about it. Discrimination?!?!?!?! THEY HAVE TO CHEAT TO WIN!!!
• The residing official also stated maybe he would contact the woman in the wheelchair; he said maybe he could increase the margin between the speed bumps so she could go between them. Once again, SERIOUSLY?

Town of Farragut officials previously lied and they continue to lie about the safety of SPEED BUMPS!!!

WE NEED A CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY TO FIGHT THIS DISCRIMINATION!

THIS IS A CORRUPT VOTING PROCESS – ALL VOTES SHOULD BE EQUAL

Obstacles placed on public roads cause excruciating pain for persons with low back disabilities and cause a danger to persons in wheelchairs. More and more debate is emerging regarding the impacts speed humps have upon persons with disabilities.

• Speed bumps do in fact slow down EMS vehicles and emergency response time; EMS VEHICLES HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP!!! SECONDS COUNT
• Police vehicles can not safely traverse speed bumps at the speed limit let alone an emergency. SECONDS COUNT WHEN AN INTRUDER JUST KNOCKED DOWN YOUR DOOR
• Speed bumps do not work, CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE CAN NOT BE MANDATED.. try driving the speed limit on the interstate.
• Speed bumps cause tempers to flare. Just the debate alone flares tempers.
• Officials already know that speed bumps create dangers.
• People speed up between speed bumps out of anger or to make up for lost time.
• People try to pass you if you are forced to slow down for a speed bump.
• People dodge and swerve into oncoming traffic in the center margin.
• People go off road to avoid speed bumps.
• People can easily lose control of their vehicles.
• People pay more attention to avoiding speed bumps than they do to the street environment.
• People who live near a speed bump are irked by unexpected encounters.
• The dangers of speed bumps pose more risk to pedestrians.
• There is a class of misguided residents that want to punish the innocent for the sins of the guilty. This is SELFISH, IMMORAL and UNGODLY!
• Speed bumps cause increased wear and tear on residential and commercial vehicles.
• Speed bumps reduce fuel efficiency and increase gas consumption slowing down speeding up.
• Speed bumps increase air pollution with increased carbon monoxide emissions.
• Speed bumps reduce property values.
• Speed bumps increase noise levels.
• People protest by blowing air horns every time they are forced to cross a speed bump.

Get the facts on speed bumps and how they affect the lives of disabled persons and persons with back disabilities.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990: Protects the civil rights of people with disabilities from being discriminated against based upon their disability (or their perceived disability).

Across this great country, local governments are supporting small groups of people that are organizing a vote that in essence block and injure persons with back and other disabilities from simply going to and from their homes; equivalent to a local government supporting a group of people to organize a vote for segregation.

Aggressive attorneys are needed to step up and fight this corrupt voting process and discrimination against disabled Americans.

Aggressive lawmakers with a spine are needed to Amend the Americans with Disabilities Act to clearly and specifically stop this discrimination against persons with disabilities and end this decades-old debate.

***Must read Professional Report by Leslie W. Bunte, Jr., B.S. – ADA Implications of Speed Bumps*** http://americandreamcoalition.org/safety/tcdangers.pdf

All Across the Country Local Governments Have Illegally
“Stacked the Deck” Against Persons With Disabilities

Other neighborhoods in the past have had relatively small percentages of homeowners make the decision for the whole neighborhood to install speed bumps.

Installation of speed bumps only require 65.0 % approval of RETURNED BALLOTS for one group of residents and only 50% approval for a special group of residents.1 persons vote doesn’t count as much as another persons vote. ALL RESIDENTS ARE IN THE “AFFECTED AREA”!

WE NEED A CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY TO FIGHT THIS DISCRIMINATION!

THIS IS A CORRUPT VOTING PROCESS – ALL VOTES SHOULD BE EQUAL

Your VOTE is VERY IMPORTANT!!! – A NON-VOTE IS A YES VOTE!!!

This is a Simple Majority Voting Decision Folks! A decision of this magnitude used to require a supermajority of the affected community, but local governments keep unfairly changing the rules and the laws! Totally corrupt process with no transparency.

Shame. Shame. Shame. For bringing “innocent children” into this… Using “innocent children” has been proven as a false narrative and is nothing more than a scare tactic. Speed bumps never have and never will save a life.

The Speed Bump Dilemma
By THOMAS MICHALSKI
“Humps often are promoted on the basis that they protect children. In truth it is unlikely humps prevent any deaths. Houston, Texas, has the most extensive speed hump program in the nation, yet all of the city’s speed humps together would save one life every 400-plus years”

PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES
By Kathleen Calongne
“An unethical attempt has been made to silence the objections of rescue personnel to delays to emergency response by deflection devices. Fire chiefs, as city appointees, fear professional retribution and often will not voice concern until the level of risk becomes intolerable. Emergency calls are not the rare events some members of transportation and city staff would like to believe. The City of Houston, Texas for example, responds to an average of 150,000 emergency medical calls and 100,000 fire calls per year. There is an average of 250,000 deaths from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) alone each year in the United States. American Heart Association (AHA) statistics indicate that 90% of these incidents occur outside of the hospital environment. By comparison, there are approximately 5,000 pedestrian deaths per year in the United States. Few of these occur on local neighborhood streets. A ten-year study of pedestrian deaths” …..Click here to read the entire article

Given The Adverse Effects And The Aesthetics Of Speed Bumps
And Since The Greatest Financial Asset Most Of Us
Own Is Our Home — This Is Also a Business Decision!

Your Vote Is Very Important
A lot of people are saying “but we’re not getting them on our road!” Not yet anyway, but what about the increased traffic that will be diverted down your road. Or how about the new cut through traffic diversion down your street if Sonja and Admiral are humped. If cut through is the problem, speed bumps will only move the problem to another street.

WE NEED A CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY TO FIGHT THIS DISCRIMINATION!

THIS IS A CORRUPT VOTING PROCESS – ALL VOTES SHOULD BE EQUAL

We can’t impress upon you enough about the importance of your vote! With your support speed bumps will be defeated again.

You will be receiving your ballot by mail from The Town of Farragut in the next few days. Thoroughly research the impact speed bump obstacles will have on our property values and the aesthetics of our community and send in your NO VOTE as soon as you receive your ballot.

Speed Bumps And Other Obstacles Do Not
Make A Person Decide To Obey The Speed Limit
Each Person Is Responsible For Making The Choice To Speed
Morality And Civil Obedience CAN NOT Be Mandated

Installation of speed bumps only require 65% and in some instances only 50% approval of RETURNED BALLOTS for a SPECIAL GROUP OF RESIDENTS. Your VOTE is VERY IMPORTANT!!! A NON VOTE IS A YES VOTE!!! Theoretically ONLY the 7 YES Votes from the people that started this nonsense will pass speed bumps for the entire subdivision. This is a Simple Majority Voting Decision Folks!

The Ignorance of One Vote Can Impair All Persons with a Disability!

Speed bumps are in direct violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). So, why do municipalities keep discriminating and forcing these obstacles on persons with disabilities?

ADA Implications

ADA, Title II, State and Local Government, Department of Justice Regulations, 28 CFR Part 35.

 §35.104 Definitions.

Facility means all or any portion of buildings, structures, sites, complexes, equipment, rolling stock, or other conveyances, roads, walks, passageways, parking lots, or other real or personal property, including the site where building, property, structure, or equipment is located.

The ADA law also addresses the new construction and alterations of roadways.

§35.151 New Construction and Alterations.

(a) Design and construction. Each facility or part of a facility constructed by, on behalf of, or for the use of a public entity shall be designed and constructed in such manner that the facility or part of the facility is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if the construction was commenced after January 26, 1992. 

(b) Alteration. Each facility or part of a facility altered by, on behalf of, or for the use of a public entity in a manner that affects or could affect the usability of the facility or part of the facility shall, to the maximum extent feasible, be altered in such manner that the altered portion of the facility is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if the alteration was commenced after January 26, 1992.

“The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which stipulates that new facilities must be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.” “The ADA Title II regulations define ‘facility’ to include ‘roads’” “The regulations go on to say that alterations to facilities must be accessible and usable to the maximum extent feasible.”

The Town of Farragut by simply changing the name of a speed bump to a speed cushion doesn’t change the detrimental effects on the disabled and excruciating pain that speed bumps can cause.

THE TOWN OF FARRAGUT OFFICIAL EVEN ADMITTED AT THE SPEED BUMP MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2022 THAT SPEED BUMPS ARE TOO AGGRESSIVE AND CAN NOT BE TRAVERSED AT THE SPEED LIMIT.

We don’t need illegal speed bumps! If the Town of Farragut insists on pissing away taxpayer money… We need sidewalks and Sonja Drive needs to be widened. Sonja Drive is so narrow we have to stop to allow oncoming traffic to pass and we have to replace our mailboxes multiple times a year from truck mirrors!!!

This page is the result of countless hours of research and studies that speed bumps have on persons with disabilities. All Credit and thanks go the selfless acts of the many individuals fighting for the civil rights of all persons with disabilities. If you are fighting illegal speed bumps in your community feel free to copy and use any of these resources, just give credit where credit is due.

Yes on occasion we intentionally mock you on how M O R O N I C the idea of speed bumps are! Sorry not sorry.
