Traffic Related Complaints:

Other: This is following up on a previous complaint. I am using a separate filing because I could not figure out how to reply to the last one. The traffic patterns at the intersection of 10th and Range Rd facilitate dangerous maneuvers by motorists, which put at risk other motorists and pedestrians. There are two lane options on 10th going east and west: right turn only or straight/left turn only. The light is only indicates 'Go' and there are no arrow lights. When a motorist wants to turn left coming from either direction on 10th, it blocks all straight bound traffic. Right turns are much rarer at this intersection, so the right turn only lane is completely open. Some motorists choose to use this lane to go straight through the intersection and blow through nearly hitting turning vehicles that are patiently waiting their turn to go. Backed up traffic creates a blind spot for the left turning vehicle and they often do not see the oncoming vehicle attempting to go straight in the right only lane. Every day there are close encounters. To make matters more difficult, the bus stop is immediately adjacent to this intersection on both sides of 10th, causing even more close encounters. This is a high traffic intersection at all times of the day, but particularly in the morning and evening during rush hours.
