Please trim back tree/shrub growth on the east side of N. Walnut St. just north of the visitors center, just north of the entry/exit to Blue Ridge neighborhood. It's very difficult to see cars traveling south on N. Walnut as you exit the neighborhood. Dangerous in many cases as drivers are traveling well over the speed limit on the newly paved road. Thanks for your consideration!
Hello, I am re-developing the property @ 3000 South Walnut. The location is where the former Southern Winds Hotel and Roosters club were located. The property at the beginning a workout facility and a chiropractors office. AS you pull out from the property and are going to turn left (North) and cross traffic, there are two trees located to the north on the side of the road. When cars are coming South and I am turning to the North, it is difficult to see whats coming and that is where the speed limit changes from 30 to 40mph, which is the place many seems to start speeding up. We will have more traffic than ever entering and leaving the property right from the beginning and even more as the property continues to be redeveloped overtime after the initial building and business's are active. A stop light right around there of course would be superb for the property but probably could never happen due to the traffic that occur that comes over the hill when people are traveling South down South Walnut. With that in mind I was hoping the two large trees could be taken down so it is much safer at that point because of the visibility that would open up. One tree is directly in from of the property and the other is directly in front on an older apartment complex that has around 10 apartments in it, it looks like. Would this be possible? Or maybe we could plant a couple new tress which would be much smaller and take several years to grow out? Of course that problem would show up again several years from now but it would take care of it presently for sevevral years. I am just worried about such a great new area being redeveloped for the area and future to have potential traffic issues with people being able to see when pulling out of the property. Thanks a lot, Tommy.
Why did you change the traffic flow of this roundabout? It use to flow very smooth. I drive northbound on Sare each day, and now that you have changed the flow, I wait each morning at the roundabout. When school starts, it will be a mess. When those apartments fill up and the rest of the Lakes is build, it will be much, much worse. Please consider changing it back to the way it was. Someone has too much time on their hands to change things like this, or else you have faulty data. It would have been nice if you asked for public comments before you changed it.
Dangerous intersection - should install traffic controls to prevent people heading South on Curry Pike to turn East in to Speedway and keep people from turning South out of Speedway. This intersection is very busy and I have seen multiple near misses in the last few weeks.
Gordon Pike between Walnut and Rogers St has been repaved, but not striped and it's hazardous at night, especially when it rains. When will it be striped?
I have made this complaint before, and the response was that something was going to be done about it "soon" but that was about 6 months ago. The intersection of Allendale and Winslow is VERY DANGEROUS. Drivers blow through the stop signs on a VERY regular basis, especially people traveling East on Winslow. I believe that many people do not notice the stop sign at all. I am surprised that there have not been more accidents here. I suggest that a blinking light be put on the stop sign at the least. It would be best to make it a blinking red in all directions. The response I received last year was that a bigger, new "stop ahead" sign was going to be installed and a stop sign was going to be added on the North side of the intersection (facing east bound traffic) to catch drivers' attentions. However, nothing at all has been done. I have seen someone run this stop sign 4 times in the last week, and I am not at that intersection very long each day.
Hello City Issues, As you look at the location I'm sure you already know what I'm asking. As you leave the AMC movie theater on the west side of town on 3rd street, there's that ambiguous light that I've seen traffic handle two different ways. One is that only the left lane turns left and the other set treat both lanes as left turn lanes. I'm here to ask: 1) Can you verify, as you leave the movie theater, if I want to turn right onto 3rd street, is the first light only left turn-able from the left lane or do both allow you to turn? 2) This is very pie in the sky, but are you able to place traffic signs near the lights indicating the available turns? Having them clarify the purpose of the right hand lane would be tremendous. I'm only asking because I've constantly seen people think one of two camps and, every time I leave the movie theater, I nearly see a wreck every time. Thank you. -Joe
You all changed the path and direction of northbound traffic at the roundabout at Sare and Rogers. As a result, traffic is backed up each morning and people are almost running into each other. Why the change? After all this time you just decide to change it? Really...? Another poor decision with regard to streets and traffic. It only makes morning commutes more difficult and unsafe. I can only image how congested this will make school bus traffic later this summer. You cannot fill in a pothole or repave a road, but you can change traffic markings on a roundabout after five (5) or six (6) years...?
On 2 separate occasions I have approached the Sare/Rogers roundabout from the south side to find someone driving towards me on the roundabout, going the wrong direction. Both drivers were older ladies, and may have been confused by the signage as they approached the roundabout. Is there someone who can look at the signs and see if something is confusing. If I've seen this happen twice, how many more times has it happened when I wasn't there? And when is someone going to be killed because of it?
I drove my car today(May-16 2014) about 2pm. I got left turn from South college mall road to E Moores Pike. There was a hole and my car had a flat tire both of them, on the passenger seat side. That should be replaceable. Do you have any procedures to compensation?
