The double yellow line on Henderson just south of the Hillside intersection meaners all over the road. While this is mostly an aesthetic issue, the line veers to the west right at the south side of the intersection with Hillside. This narrows the road for southbound traffic on Henderson to the extent that southband vehicles routinely must cross the double yellow line to avoid hitting cars parked on the west side of Henderson. I think this section of double yellow line should be repainted several feet to the east.

The striping separating the eastbound lane of W Dodds St from the westbound lane/S College merge lane is always gone. This creates visual confusion. Many drivers going east drive in the middle of the road because it appears unstriped. Then, drivers coming southbound from S College don't realize that they have a small width to turn into, causing a severe collision hazard. I use this junction to leave my neighborhood, and 80% of the time, someone is flying down south on S College and coming far too close to my vehicle at speed. This could be fixed with a small, highly visible *physical barrier*, perhaps of concrete or rubber. I have not once seen the painted stripe at this location since it apparently wears off so fast.
People have been using this walking trail as a road using cars, trucks, and motorized scooters. Driving cars on this path is unacceptable. There was once a cable at the top stopping people from driving but it has been cut. Please put a metal post at the beginning and end of this path preventing vehicles before someone gets injured.
The street light is malfunctioning. It is a free color and doesn’t provide the light necessary to illuminate the intersection, leaving it extremely dark.
Broken glass all over sidewalk
When I am southbound on S. Williamsburg Drive, next to Arby's at 2813 E. 3rd Street, and am trying to turn onto 3rd Street, it is hard to see clearly to my left for oncoming traffic. There are bushes and yard debris piled onto the raised area next to 3rd street that forces me to pull dangerously far onto 3rd street to be sure no traffic is coming. Can you clean up that sight line? If so, thank you SO much! I am there often as are more and more drivers.
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.
Traffic backups on 17th have been really bad recently. The backups start from College/Walnut in both directions. Westbound traffic is sometimes backed up to somewhere between Lincoln & Dunn, and eastbound traffic is sometimes backed up to somewhere between Madison & Maple. This occurs at various times per day, not just at rush hour. Last night at 7:45pm it took me ~10 minutes to get from Grant to College. It also causes problems for drivers turning from College/Walnut onto 17th because the traffic already on 17th St has it gridlocked between College & Walnut. I don't know what has happened recently with construction, detours, light syncing, etc., but it's really bad and wasn't like this last school year.
