Two streets to go ‘one way’ for Halloween traffic
Homeowners Chris Wade and Casey Johnson approached the city a couple of weeks ago with an idea to make Daly and Hogan Streets in The Estates subdivision one-way on Oct. 31, to make their neighborhood safer.
Mayor Jerry Jackson said, “These streets have been overwhelmed with Halloween traffic for years. This should help the flow and hopefully be safer for everyone. We brought in Police Chief Chris Graddy and Captain Clint Tolliver and decided to give it a try.
Daily and Hogan will be one-way streets. Vehicles can enter the neighborhood from Bunker and exit onto Cottonwood. This pattern will begin at 5 p.m. and end at 9 p.m.
PLEASE GO VERY, VERY SLOW. SMALL CHILDREN WILL BE RUNNING ACROSS THE STREETS.
“This is a great example of what Harrison’s citizens can accomplish by sharing a good idea with city officials,” Jackson said.

With the Creekside anniversary this month, we are focusing on the benefits that Creekside has made to individuals and families in our community. If you have a story to share - let us know! Meet Nate
Name: Nate
Nate had shoulder surgery about 18 months ago and ended up with “frozen shoulder.”
“I’m a mechanic by trade and have always done work with my arms over my head. Last summer, after severe heat exhaustion, a friend gifted me a membership to Creekside. So I’ve been swimming five days a week and I can tell my shoulders are getting better, too.”
Nate said the shoulder progress is slow, but he’s swimming 1,000 meters every day. “I’ve lost 50 pounds, too. So I feel much better and am all in on this recovery. I’m hitting it hard. I want to return to my chosen profession.”
"I think the pool is an amazing resource and far underused."
What a good friend Nate has! If you have a Creekside story, please email kfulton@harrisonar.gov and share your good news.
