Bushes, trees, brush needs trimmed on west side of 900 block S Morton St. Vegetation is protruding into street presenting a hazard.
7th Street, east of campus, has a stretch where the foliage of a yard has overgrown into the eastbound bicycle lane. (At some points during the summer, it was long enough to brush the sides of vehicles NOT in the bike lane). This causes bicycles to veer out into the single vehicular traffic lane, and I've seen several near misses.
The timing on the lights at Covenanter and College Mall Road have been changed and it is creating a huge traffic jam. The lights for traffic on Covenanter have been shortened to approximately 5 seconds for the left turn and 12 seconds for the green light. Please retime these lights immediately.
Street sign down in yard
One of the stop signs is missing at the corner of Clark and 7th. It is the sign on the east side of the intersection that stops westbound traffic. The other 3 signs appear to be intact.
There is a Red pickup truck sitting at the South West side of the intersection at Grimes and Henderson. The truck has been there for some time. The truck is sitting so close to the intersection that a vehicle driving eastbound towards the intersection cannot very easily make a right hand turn. This is especially difficult when a school bus is in that situation. I am not sure you can do anything to have the vehicle moved; but if it moved back just about 10 or more feet, the issue would disappear. Thank you.
12th St east of Indiana. Knocked down speed limit 25 sign. See photo. Thanks.
Cottage Grove and 11th. Street sign is askew.
Ms. Odell was driving on South Patterson before the Prospect intersection at 7am on 11/16. A car was driving towards her in her lane, so she veered into the other lane to prevent being hit. She said that there is a concrete block in the middle of the road that is lightly painted with yellow paint, but has no reflective quality. She was unable to see the block due to the lack of reflection and this caused major damage to her vehicle. She is requesting that the block be painted with reflective paint to prevent others from doing this as well.
Hello, The stop lights at the intersections of Jordan and Atwater, and the intersection at 3rd and Jordan, are not synced. As a result, people driving to and from campus get hit by both stop lights. They used to be synced up with one another so drivers would make both lights if they were traveling east or if they were traveling west. Now, no matter what, you'll have to stop at one of them. Also, the green turn arrow light always comes on at the intersection of Jordan and 3rd, even if there is no traffic. This creates weird delays for people trying to leave campus. I know these complaints of mine are trivial, I'm not sure how much it would take to re-sync the stop lights. But I've worked on campus for years and it was perfect - now this happens and hundreds of people have to stop for 2 separate stop lights 4 or 5 times a day when it used to be zero stops.
