closed: Resolved #166167

Traffic Suggestions:

Other: The construction on Rhorer and Gordon Pike has pushed a lot of the thru-traffic on the South side to East Burks Dr., resulting in a traffic load that the small, curved road wasn't designed for. More cars are coming through, and not always at a safe speed. This issue is highlighted by the fact that currently, there are no signs prohibiting parking on either side of Burks Dr., so residents park on both sides of the street. This creates a one-lane road that has to accommodate a large traffic load (relative to it's design). Some residents have even taken to parking large tractor/trailer vehicles on the road, which almost completely eliminates visibility of oncoming traffic as you round the bend going from west-to-east. My suggestion is to please restrict parking to the east-to-west side of the street, and post "No Parking" signs on the west-to-east side of the street. This allows for the greatest visibility for both sides of traffic, and also maintains two-way traffic, an important element to South side transportation with alternate routes still under construction.

The Fullerton Pike project and associated road closures had created an uptick in traffic in neighborhoods near the site. Monroe County Highway Department was responsible for this project; the decision of whether or not to add traffic control in nearby areas was up to County Highway. If concerns about on-street parking remain, please reach out to the City Engineering Department to request an investigation of the parking situation.
