People always drive dangerously fast on this road. The speed limit is 25, yet I usually see most drivers going 40 or above on this road, which is dangerous to my dogs and I. Maybe there could be speed bumps or other infrastructure to signal drivers to slow down.
Now that the speed limit on 11th Street has been reduced to 25, can we please lower the limit on Diamond Street to 20 or even 15? It’s a very short stretch of road, but for some reason people feel the need to gun it on the way between 11th Street and Trailview neighborhood. There’s really no good reason to drive faster than 15mph or so on this stretch and it endangers pedestrians going between 11th and the B-Line.
Cars can drive faster than the speed limit over the traffic calming humps that were installed. Witness many vehicles increased speed over humps.
Two lanes on Indiana Avenue seems excessive. There is never a lot of traffic here. I was in the left-most lane at Indiana Ave and 7th Street, and someone driving turned left from the right lane. I see this often because people don't know they are on one-way streets. It'd be easier if this is only one-lane northbound.
Requesting use of speed bumps or some sort of traffic mitigation device. As the new neighborhood is being built west of our location it has led to increased traffic and significant danger. Cherokee Drive is barely wide enough for two cars to pass in some areas and with increased traffic it is unsafe for children and pets. In addition, driver's have sped through when people are outside and yelled threats to people in the neighborhood. Cherokee Drive is the first access point to this neighborhood from the north on Rogers and therefore receiving the bulk of traffic especially during traditional evening commute hours.
Cars drive down 10th street at dangerous speeds. I would like to suggest that 10th street between Monroe St. and Cottage Grove Ave. be a one-way street, as it is not wide enough for two cars and people often drive very fast. There is also no sidewalk, and I am often using this street as a pedestrian.
Inoperable vehicle in driveway. There are at least two flat tires on a small red pickup truck.
Filed U Report 207188. I’m reading updates and misinformation. The cross- street I filed on is Smith Road not Smith Pike. And I did not ask for additional police presence. They already do that to catch speeders. We need speed bumps and the speed sign like they have on Hillside around the corner from us. There’s more speeders on Smith Rd than Hillside.
We have had multiple incidents on our street due to people driving too fast and visibility issues for drivers coming out of E Allendale Road. A car flipped and landed at the entrance of Barkley Square apartments, a car went off road striking the corner of a carport and edge of a house, a woman was killed after striking a moving vehicle and most recently a young woman struck our walnut tree at the edge of our driveway suffering a concussion and a broken arm. Totaled her car and the other driver’s car was damaged badly but her airbags seemed to have prevented injury. We, as well as our neighbors have had to replace our mailboxes several times. It is a matter of time before someone on the sidewalk is struck and killed. I have not seen police stopping speeders on our street for some time. I believe some type of traffic calming devices would help as no one drives the 30 mph speed limit on this road.
See case #185188. Was there any discussion about making 12th Street one-way? After football and basketball games, traffic is horrendous, and food delivery vehicles speed down the street in both directions at all hours. Ideally, you would remove on-street parking and install a protected bike lane in its place. That would give more space for two-lane car traffic. Or keep the on-street parking, add a protected bike lane, and use what is left for one-way vehicle traffic. If you make it one-way west, then the fire trucks could use it when they are hurrying to a fire. Please consider this. Seriously.
