Mr. Bailey called concerning the signs on N. Dunn. He said that there have been several accidents lately that have knocked down the signs on the curves. He also would like the City to pursue a correction for the road. He would support closing of Dunn in that area. He said to contact the new president of the Homeowners Assoc. Larry Grubb. He also stressed that brush along the road needs to be constantly trimmed.
Cars are parking on the road along Palmer causing traffic to drive in the yards to get by. Problem is apparently due to a lack in pavement width and snow piles.
The one-way alley east of the above address (currently one-way south) running from Washington to Lincoln needs to be one way the other direction or two way. People continually drive the wrong way down the alley.
There's something else going on in the neighborhood. The Indiana RR trestle on Adams Street is hit about twice a week. A RR truck took a look at it a few days ago. Rebar is exposed again, they will have to fix it. A neighbor says the trestle is hit about twice a week. I saw a semi with a 40-foot trailer turn around at 6th Street and Adams. Closing Vernal Pike is squeezing traffic, and maps don't help. How about a "No Trucks" and "Low clearance ahead" signs at 5th and Adams?
Third Street between Woodlawn and Indiana intersection is a problem. It narrows to one lane near Indiana, but the traffic at the light at Woodlawn does not know it will narrow. This results in traffic tie ups and unsafe manouvering to get a better spot in line. Please move the warnings and signs about the single lane closer to the traffic light at Woodlawn, if they can see the problem earlier it will be safer. Someone tried to cut ahead by using the bike lane and sidewalk today.
