Grant Street incidents

Update 2023-03-15 - I haven’t updated this page in a while since I’ve come to the realization that nobody cares no matter what happens here. I’m spending my time on other projects.

Not a day goes by without people running the lights on the Saw Mill Parkway. It is likely that at least one U-Haul or semi gets on the parkway per day here as well.
