The people living here have 4 cars and now a Pontoon Boat which is parked on the street. Usually a total of five vehicles. One in the yard, the boat and two other vehicles parked on the street.
The northbound traffic at Kinser Pike and the bypass gets so backed up many evenings past Brookdale Drive. It takes so many lights to get through. If you’re going straight, the majority of the cars are making right turns, especially now with the amount of student apartments that are along the south end of Kinser Pike. There needs to be a right turn lane on that side of the intersection. Also, on the opposite side of the intersection, the right turn lane and the straight lane of southbound. Kinser Pike holds a lot of water when it rains due to the new white curb with the white poles that has been installed there. Those are really an eyesore, but it’s causing water to flood when we have rain.
Large potholes
People consistently drive like maniacs exiting town from West Kirkwood Avenue heading west. At all hours of the day, including the evening and middle of the night, I hear people revving their engines like they’re on a racetrack—on a residential street. Considering there’s a school zone less than a half-mile down the road from where I live, it seems like there should either be better enforcement or more traffic-calming infrastructure in place.
Resident (or visitor) driving a silver Ford Edge (IN-214EKW, I think) turned left (west) onto 11th Street from Lincoln and sped down the entire block against the one-way posted direction to get to Washington Street. This short block has no sidewalks and visibility is difficult given the mature, evergreen conifers in the area. People and animals are often walking in the street and are not expecting a careless driver to travel in that direction. This is definitely not the street to drive down the wrong way. Please advise this person that rules are there for a reason, and unilaterally disregarding them due to perceived inconvenience is selfish and uncivil, in addition to being a traffic violation.
Living on N Walnut for 4 years, I've noticed there's a marked increase in the frequency of drivers revving their engines unnecessarily loud as they go through the W 11th & N Walnut section. The sounds and incidences are so loud that they have interrupted my meetings, indoor activities, and startled me to drop my kitchenware. My neighbors have also shared this concern on how this happens much more often recently, especially in the past 2 years. I remember there used to be a couple of police officers stationed off the W 11th & N Walnut section and it was noticeably more quiet and peaceful. But I haven't seen them at the same spot anymore and the corresponding noise issues arose instantaneously. My neighbors and I would love for the city to either station an officer here to deter these activities and, in the long run, implement policies at curbing these disruptive actions from reckless people.
Two Kia Cars parked illegally. One is a Kia soul and the other is a Kia suv. Both don’t have tickets and one is over the yellow line
The road visibility on this corner is not good. In situations when the road floods or a lot of snow it is very hard to see where the edge of the road is on the corner. This is the second car in a flooded ditch I have seen recently. Some kind of marker would be helpful.
It is unclear who has the right of way between southeast bound and northwest bound at the intersection of Fountain and 11th. Southeast bound cars either turn left or continue straight, but there is no yield for either option. A northwest bound car could collide with a southeast bound car turning left onto 11th and there is no signage preventing this.
Green Jaguar is parked in the yellow painted curve, blocking driveway. Yellow needs repainted.
