There is a problem on South Maxwell Street just South of Hillside Drive. When there are cars parked on both sides of Maxwell it is difficult to pull off of Hillside Drive and get through. She has been blocked and told to go around the block to access her home. It is dangerous because you do not know the cars are there until you are half way onto Maxwell Street.
Vehicles are speeding downs 8th Street in front of Mr. Craig's house. He feels that most of this traffic comes from Valhalia Mobile Home Park. There are several children that play in this neighborhood, very dangerous situation. Craig contacted Randy Williamson, Police Department. Williamson will have Police out there to do radar. Craig would like to have speed and traffic counts done, possibly install a stop sign, 8th Street & Hays Street.
MR. KUPERSMITH FEELS THAT TRAFFIC TRAVELS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON WEST 8TH STREET BETWEEN ADAMS STREET AND THE TRAILER COURT. HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE IN THIS AREA, POSSIBLY SPEED BUMPS (SEE ATTACHED LETTER).
Many drivers on Walnut are running stop light at Hillside/Walnut. Ms. Roska feels giving some tickets in the area would cause people to obey the traffic light.
Mr. Hayford is concerned about the speed of drivers in the Southdowns/Jordan Ave. area. He says a lot of people walk in the area, especially to Bryan Park. Also, his 5 yr. old daughter walks w/ her daycare program with other young children through this area every day. "This is an accident waiting to happen." PLEASE TREAT THIS AS A REQUEST FOR A SPEED BOARD TO BE PLACED IN THIS AREA (talked with Jane 8/4).
The request is actually from the owner of 1425 S. Madison Street for "No Parking" in front of his house. The curb is currently painted 20' back from the intersection & 5' on either side of his driveway. This leaves only 22-24' (1 car space) in front of his house. XJD Properties recently purchased prop. at 321 W. Hillside Drive. At shift change there are several cars that come off of Hillside onto Madison and if anyone is parked there they are almost hit. Most residents have off street pkg.
There is a bush which is sticking out into the road and blocking the 90 degree sign. Street has checked and said it is not in the road enough to cause a hazard and is not completely blocking the site of the 90 degree turn sign. Street said this bus is private property and should be turned over to HAND.
Mr. Guess has called Police several times to request that they radar near his home between 8 & 10 a.m. and 2 and 5 p.m., to slow speeding vehicles. Guess has offered his driveway for police to park in when radaring speeders. Can Police Department radar this area?
"Turn arrow and street sign has been hit by a car and needs to be fixed" at corner of W 17th St. and Crescent Rd.
Mitchell stated that there is only one "No Parking" sign located in front of 1400 (the south side of street). The street is very narrow and traffic should not be allowed on both sides. The house to the south of 1402 is possibly a rental and vehicles are parking on the north side causing a dangerous situation. Could there be "No Parking" on the north side also. Please note the Utilities Dept. did work in this area recenlty.
