at the intersection of west kirkwood & adams, some changes were made a few months ago. there is still a problem, because there's a yield-sign turned the wrong way so that only people in the cemetery there would be able to see it. needs to be turned around.
At the crosswalk from the Rail to Trail to the B-Line trail, by Burger King on the Southside on West Country Club Road. I almost ran over a girl crossing the street. The stop sign is very high and elevated. It is hard to see and very confusing, if you’re not familiar with what it is. I didn't know I was supposed to stop. I have no problem stopping there; I just think it is important that you put regular, large sized stop signs there. It is very dangerous the way it is now. That way a motorist knows to stop. Especially out of town motorists that aren't used to the new weird signs. The girl was too beautiful to be getting run over by a car. It wasn't her fault; just the sign was confusing and hard to even see. I think this is a cheap answer to a problem that could really hurt someone. I don't usually complain about things. But, I felt this to be important and actually dangerous.
at the intersection of west kirkwood & adams (near kleindorfers hardware store), there have been 2 close-calls recently between 2 vehicles because a yield-sign is turned the wrong way (toward the cemetery) so people driving don't see it.
Two yellow traffic signs on Covenanter between Nota and Pickwick, across from 2215 are half 'eaten' by a huge hedge. Maybe the hedge can be trimmed. Before long the hedge will also 'eat' half the sidewalk.
We have contacted the street department 4 times now on this prob. At the end of Tudor lane and aloe dale there is a sink hole in the road that constantly has red clay wet mud approximately 4 feet in diameter around it. Red clay water runs almost a block downhill. The hole has been patched but eons up again. It is not a pot hole but is caving in. We as a neighborhood have to either pull out into the opposite lane of traffic or go through red wet mud. Please direct my email to appropriate person. I had notified u earlier this summer and they said they would send a supervisor out. This is probably 4-5 month on going. Any help would be greatly appreciated
The entrance to the Kroger shopping center near Walnut and Rohrer Rd. is very dangerous. The Westbound left turn lane on the Rohrer Rd entrance has lost its lane designating paint, and Westbound cars entering the left turn lane are confronted with Eastbound traffic that is not alerted to the existence of a turn lane facing them. I have sxperienced several near-misses, and believe that unless the painting on the lanes is refreshed and visible there is a real danger of a head-on at that point. Help!
High weeds on the northwest corner of Fenwick and Smith Road is causing a traffic hazard. It is difficult to see traffic coming south on Smith Road while traveling east on Fenwick. (No need to reply to this email)
The intersection on the 46 bypass where stonelake rd and monroe street cross. The entrance to Arlington heights elementary. This is such a crazy dangerous intersection. I have seen so many close calls and have been in several of them my self while trying to get in and out from taking my kids to school. It scares me! Traffic has definitely picked up over the last year with all of the construction and other access roads to 37 being closed due to 69. I feel a stoplight would be extremely beneficial at this location. Maybe remove the bumps in the Middle Lane (that desperately needs cleaned up because it is full of trash and looks horrendous) and then it can be used as that extra turn lane like it is used down the road in ellettsville. Just a couple suggestions but I really think for the safety of the school children and everyone else something needs done here. Thank you for your time!!
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.
Indiana RR bridge on Adams St. has many severe impacts scars. The Waterman Neighborhood Association is considering a painting project, but would like inspection and repairs first. Suggestion: paint it yellow, so speeders would see it, and the City have paint on hand to cover up speeder mistakes.
