Is there an update on when Park Ridge East will get its sharrows again? Was told by neighbors spring then summer. No reason to think they aren't coming this summer just curious if the timeline is known. Thank you!
Washington and Grant Limb hanging hitting big vehicles.
High weeds on the northwest corner of Fenwick and Smith Road is causing a traffic hazard. It is difficult to see traffic coming south on Smith Road while traveling east on Fenwick. (No need to reply to this email)
The intersection on the 46 bypass where stonelake rd and monroe street cross. The entrance to Arlington heights elementary. This is such a crazy dangerous intersection. I have seen so many close calls and have been in several of them my self while trying to get in and out from taking my kids to school. It scares me! Traffic has definitely picked up over the last year with all of the construction and other access roads to 37 being closed due to 69. I feel a stoplight would be extremely beneficial at this location. Maybe remove the bumps in the Middle Lane (that desperately needs cleaned up because it is full of trash and looks horrendous) and then it can be used as that extra turn lane like it is used down the road in ellettsville. Just a couple suggestions but I really think for the safety of the school children and everyone else something needs done here. Thank you for your time!!
This is following up on a previous complaint. I am using a separate filing because I could not figure out how to reply to the last one. The traffic patterns at the intersection of 10th and Range Rd facilitate dangerous maneuvers by motorists, which put at risk other motorists and pedestrians. There are two lane options on 10th going east and west: right turn only or straight/left turn only. The light is only indicates 'Go' and there are no arrow lights. When a motorist wants to turn left coming from either direction on 10th, it blocks all straight bound traffic. Right turns are much rarer at this intersection, so the right turn only lane is completely open. Some motorists choose to use this lane to go straight through the intersection and blow through nearly hitting turning vehicles that are patiently waiting their turn to go. Backed up traffic creates a blind spot for the left turning vehicle and they often do not see the oncoming vehicle attempting to go straight in the right only lane. Every day there are close encounters. To make matters more difficult, the bus stop is immediately adjacent to this intersection on both sides of 10th, causing even more close encounters. This is a high traffic intersection at all times of the day, but particularly in the morning and evening during rush hours.
Just south of the railroad bridge over N College, cars are routinely parked in the bike lane, requiring cyclists to swerve into the car lane to get around the parked car. This is dangerous! Please repaint the yellow curb. If you can't because of the weather, please post a temporary no-parking sign there until you can. Thanks!
Street signs at the intersection of Clover Ter and Skyline Dr are missing.
On the corner of Moore's Pike and SR 446 is a flashing lite--yellow on 446 and red on Moore's Pike. I nearly caused an accident: I stopped while eastbound on Moore's Pk and then entered the intersection to turn left while a car was coming south 446 at full speed. I know the intersection well, but forgot that 446 has right of way & I thought 446 traffic had to stop. Please, please, please remind the drivers that "Cross traffic doesn't stop." Place flashing signs on the light and on a street sign proximal to the light. I was with my mom and talking, but not texting or fiddling with the radio. Please increase the sign warnings. My husband also once almost forgot. It's dangerous!!!!
On East 17th Street in front of the Devault Alumni Center (1000 E 17th St) there is a well-used pedestrian crosswalk. The white stripes are faded and at the crest of a hill, which makes them difficult for cars to see. A sign in the center of the roadway to highlight where the crosswalk is would be more eye-catching and will help drivers notice the crosswalk. The crosswalk is also right across from a bus stop, so this causes further confusion for drivers, who may be unsure if people are waiting for the bus or getting ready to cross. If a new island type sign was erected and the bus stop was moved 40-50 feet east of the crosswalk, I believe it would make this area much safer for pedestrians and drivers.
May not be city - the stop sign east bound at the intersection of Hennesy & McDougal is covered by tree limbs and not visible until you are right up on it.
