At the corner of College Mall Rd and Moores Pike two very large galvanized poles have been lying on the grass for over a year. Certainly detract from that busy area. Can they be put in a storage area?
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.
"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.
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?
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.
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.
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).
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. 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).
