See photo. IU's sign (which I believe is illegally placed within the City's right of way) blocks the view for people turning onto Third

Traffic along 17th St (in both directions) has been backed up during rush hour for a couple of weeks. The problem stretches from Dunn St to Monroe St. The worst is at the College and Walnut lights. People can’t turn on 17th because of the back up and are then blocking traffic. Please help, thanks!
Noticed the installation of speed monitoring bands the other day at Morningside and Sheffield. Can you explain the purpose? Curious as recent traffic calming was installed so not sure if it is monitoring for improvements, considering some alterations, or a different purpose. Thank you. Greenway improvements have been helpful in whole.
Can the City explain how a driver of a vehicle is supposed to see cross-traffic on 7th Street from Morton without being in the crosswalk and almost in the intersection? I was headed north on Morton and came to the intersection at 7th where cross traffic now does not stop on 7th. The buildings, trees, and other clutter to either side of the intersection make it very dangerous to see bicycles and traffic coming on 7th Street. I had to completely block the pedestrian crosswalk and approach the intersection to feel safe about my assessment of cross traffic. This is a very bad design. The entire 7th Street project seems poorly conceived and designed. I have witnessed multiple people driving in the bike lanes. Was the budget so low that stop signs and "traffic keep left" signs were not affordable and we ended up with this mess to just make something work? There are a ton of safety issues I have witnessed. Someone is going to get hurt soon it seems, or taken out by a bus mirror.
I've seen dozens of drivers speed through this Walnut corridor, from 8th St to 12th St, in excess of 40mph. There are pedestrian crossings at 8th and 9th that are completely unusable. Motorists like to speed through the straightaway since there are three lanes. This area needs traffic calming measures to protect pedestrians.
The crosswalk between N and S Woodbridge Dr and across 10th is routinely ignored by passing cars. I have almost been hit around 3 times while in the crosswalk by cars that refused to stop for me as I was crossing. Cars otherwise refuse to stop when pedestrians are waiting to cross. This is a safety concern for pedestrians.
Constituents in Fritz Terrace and the neighborhood north of Kroger have expressed concern that traffic is moving too fast (and seems to be getting worse) along Kinzer and Skyline Drive. Not sure if there's anything that can be done from the City's perspective, but I wanted to pass this along. Thank you!
Common entrance to Biolife Plasma and Author Solutions: Biolife has a stop sign coming OUT of their particular lot but Author Solutions doesnot. I almost had a head on collision coming in to Biolife because someone comingoutof Author Solutions had not Stop sign. Essentailly both directions - coming into Biolife and coming out of Author Solution's particular parkinglot - have the right of way. A stop sign must be added coming out of Author solutions.
Intersection of Patterson and Rogers, headed west. Catalent has closed one of their entrances so now the left turn lane here backs up (blocking the straight/right lane) because all of them are turning left.
Catalent changed which of their entrances their employees are allowed to use. Because of this the left turn lane of patterson (headed west) is used much more and backs up, blocking the straight/right lane too.
