The cicada speed bumps are so cute! At first glance Ithpughtthey were the bolts that have been sticking out of the street since February but no! These cicada speed bumps next to the car speed bumps are so nice. Just like how they don't slow the cars down at all these new cicada speed bumps don't have any effect on the bugs whatsoever. Instead they are a trip hazard and are extremely dangerous to both bugs and people.
Erman & Associates has an employee that is handicapped. There are no handicap parking spaces in this block area. They do have a parking lot in back, but they have only 4 parking spaces for 8 employees. Plus the distance is too far and dangerous for the employee to walk. They would like to have a handicap space in front of their building or close to the alley. They would like to be placed on the 9-23-98 Traffic Comm. agenda to get something done before winter and bad weather starts.
Very narrow intersection when vehicles are parked along sidewalk. Cars driving south on N Fairview toward the intersection drive fast up the hill and cannot be seen by vehicles advancing north on N Fairview if the south-bound car has not yet reached the intersection. Not enough room for two directional traffic because of the vehicles parked on the side of the road.
Requesting two-hour parking in the 400 block of W. Sixth St. between Rogers and Madision. State that with the DC designation in this area, parking is becoming more and more difficult to find.
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.

Kathy is a school bus driver, who's route is on Kinser Pike. She has a special needs child that when she stopped the bus to help him off, 4 college age students on bicycles intentionally went right through her flashing stop sign and almost hit this child. In addition, as busy and as dangerous as this road is these bike riders put others in danger, including themselves. She wants MORE police to patrol this road to catch bike riders who do not stop when a bus has their flashing stop sign out.
Trucks (specifically Hanna trucks loaded w/stone) speed down Sare Road near Moores Pike even though there is a "no truck" sign. Please enforce this sign.
Due to near wrecks from cars drifing into other lanes, would like lane markings painted in two areas: 1) The portion of Henderson which crosses Atwater and extends to Third Street, and 2) the left turn lane after the light at Third & Dunn, which feeds into the above section.
Mefford (who builds swings) is upset that the police were involved in the high speed chase which hurt innocent bystanders. He feels chasing stolen cars at high speed is unnecessary. He will call injured family & offer to help pay legal fees if they sue the City. He hopes the Mayor does not condone these high-speed chases and he would like a call from the Mayor.
