Other: Eastbound automobile traffic on allen st approaching patterson faces a "no turn on red" sign. However, the right turn curb radius there is more than 30 ft, meaning drivers will not only ignore that sign, they will do so at 20mph on a regular basis! Extremely dangerous and frightening for pedestrians in the area. Practically a guaranteed collision for anyone who bikes on the sidewalk there - is that your plan?

Greg, thank you for submitting this uReport regarding the Allen-Patterson intersection. Unfortunately this intersection was built well before my time with the City so I don't know the details on choosing that radius. With our new infrastructure projects we routinely evaluate corner radii to find a balance between accommodating turns from large vehicles and maintaining low-speed turning movements to improve safety and comfort for pedestrians. We do not currently have near-term plans to do work at this particular intersection, but when we do we will certainly take your comments into consideration. Thanks and please feel free to let me know if you have further questions or comments.
