STORM DRAIN AT 11TH & BLAIR NEEDS CLEANED OUT
Citizen says alley next to her house (between7th & 8th Streets) is very heavily travelled and vehicles use a high rate of speed. Aside from gravel being spewed into her yard, she is afraid that a child or a pet will be hurt by cars going too fast. Says she can only call Police so many times. Wants to know if speed bumps could be installed to slow down traffic through the alley.
Complaint of insufficient and unclear construction signage. Is making it difficult to get into parking lot where she works and sometimes forces her to take one way streets the wrong direction in order to access parking lot.
There is a new apartment complex, located near the corner of E. Cottage Grove Ave. and N. Walnut Street. Tenants are leaving the parking lot and exiting onto Cottage Grove Ave. Cottage Grove is a one way heading west. They proceed to head the east on Cottage Grove, and as they then approach N. Washington Street they turn without stopping because there is no stop sign. Afraid there may be a wreck, requesting remedy.
Mark is requesting that the curb on the south side of their driveway be painted yellow approximately 15-30 feet back. It is very difficult for their drivers as well as customers to exit onto N. Walnut Street when cars are parked up to the drive. This may possibly eliminate 1 to 2 parking spaces.
street light directly in front of this home is out..appears to have some damage also. would like replaced as soon as possible for safety.
Erman & Associates has an employee that is handicapped. There are no handicap parking spaces in this block area. They do have a parking lot in back, but they have only 4 parking spaces for 8 employees. Plus the distance is too far and dangerous for the employee to walk. They would like to have a handicap space in front of their building or close to the alley. They would like to be placed on the 9-23-98 Traffic Comm. agenda to get something done before winter and bad weather starts.
Kathy is a school bus driver, who's route is on Kinser Pike. She has a special needs child that when she stopped the bus to help him off, 4 college age students on bicycles intentionally went right through her flashing stop sign and almost hit this child. In addition, as busy and as dangerous as this road is these bike riders put others in danger, including themselves. She wants MORE police to patrol this road to catch bike riders who do not stop when a bus has their flashing stop sign out.
Trucks (specifically Hanna trucks loaded w/stone) speed down Sare Road near Moores Pike even though there is a "no truck" sign. Please enforce this sign.
Due to near wrecks from cars drifing into other lanes, would like lane markings painted in two areas: 1) The portion of Henderson which crosses Atwater and extends to Third Street, and 2) the left turn lane after the light at Third & Dunn, which feeds into the above section.
