The 7th & Jefferson sign is bent over. Also, the stop sign at this intersection, on 7th heading west, is covered over by tree limbs. Thanks!

There's something else going on in the neighborhood. The Indiana RR trestle on Adams Street is hit about twice a week. A RR truck took a look at it a few days ago. Rebar is exposed again, they will have to fix it. A neighbor says the trestle is hit about twice a week. I saw a semi with a 40-foot trailer turn around at 6th Street and Adams. Closing Vernal Pike is squeezing traffic, and maps don't help. How about a "No Trucks" and "Low clearance ahead" signs at 5th and Adams?
At the intersection "T" of Adams Hill Circle and Countryside Lane, there are rows of trees along Countryside - both sides (right and left) - when stopped at the STOP sign on Adams Hill Circle you the line of vision is obstructed by trees that need very sever trimming. You cannot see oncoming traffic from the right (coming WEST toward Summit Elementary) until halfway in the road. This road is on an incline and then EAST going traffic appears over rise and you are in the middle of the road to see traffic. TREES NEED TRIMMING!
Westbound traffic on 2nd Street are trying to turn into the new Rockets Convenience Store. I've been in the left turn-lane for Patterson, and someone crossed the double-yellow line to make his own "turn lane" to go into Rockets. The way the entry is shaped there should be no left turn into the facility. Westbound traffic should turn on Patterson and access Rockets the back way. There have been other posts on social media about this. There needs to be a "No Left Turn" sign or something there - it's a prime spot for an accident.
Stop sings are in need of repair. Both are leaning and one is facing the wrong way!
Going East on Grimes and turning South on Walnut in the morning and evening is already a nightmare. I must do it regularly. If you stop Eastbound drivers on Grimes from turning South on Walnut on the red light, simultaneously with the Walnut Northbound and Walnut Southbound drivers turning left on their green arrows [ie, turning West and East off of Walnut onto Grimes] then you will turn a bad dream into a nightmare. Traffic on Grimes is already so backed up in the morning and evening that it often backs all the way back to Rogers. If you choke off right-turn-on-red-to-go-South-on-Walnut for the people traveling East on Grimes, then it will back up all the way to Cook and no one will get anywhere. Hundreds of drivers turn right on red, going South on Walnut, every morning and evening. Put in a right turn lane for the eastbound traffic on Grimes!! Grimes from Walnut West is nuts every rush hour.
The intersection of Bloomfield and Weimer is really dangerous. Weimer is really steep so it's difficult to turn onto Bloomfield. Also, it's hard to see at the intersection.
I've noticed more and more (unofficial) signs at the roundabouts throughout town. There is already enough difficulty and danger with people learning to use the roundabouts, and I think allowing signs to be placed there is an additional distraction to drivers. Examples include signs for local performances and craft shows. Don't get me wrong, I support those events. I just don't think their signs should be at roundabouts to possibly distract drivers further. Also, the shack that was built at the Winslow/High roundabout is a bit of an eye sore, in addition to blocking the view for drivers. One visitor asked me if it was for homeless people. Other than the shack, I appreciate the landscaping there.
I want to start this by saying, I will vote against every single person currently sitting in our local government come next election. I live on the south side and this construction has turned my 15 minute commute into a 40 minute commute. Just to get to the west side of town! None of your projects were planned with ANY consideration of each other. You finish the tapp overpass just to close tapp/rockport and block all access to the overpass. BULL! And now you're closing Grimes for the next 2 months. How do you expect anyone to access Rogers? Do you expect me to drive 4 miles north from my home just to turn west? I am ashamed of every single one of you. You have zero idea on how to plan and coordinate these projects. And to finish, every one I know will also be voting against you next election. This was the nail in the coffin. Absolutely no sense in this whatsoever
A trailer for a food truck has been parked on the street most of the time for the past 2-3 months. Is this legal? It's something of an obstacle when a vehicle is parked across from it.
