I have made this complaint before, and the response was that something was going to be done about it "soon" but that was about 6 months ago. The intersection of Allendale and Winslow is VERY DANGEROUS. Drivers blow through the stop signs on a VERY regular basis, especially people traveling East on Winslow. I believe that many people do not notice the stop sign at all. I am surprised that there have not been more accidents here. I suggest that a blinking light be put on the stop sign at the least. It would be best to make it a blinking red in all directions. The response I received last year was that a bigger, new "stop ahead" sign was going to be installed and a stop sign was going to be added on the North side of the intersection (facing east bound traffic) to catch drivers' attentions. However, nothing at all has been done. I have seen someone run this stop sign 4 times in the last week, and I am not at that intersection very long each day.

The left turn lane at the intersection of northbound S Sare Rd with E Cathcart St (i.e. a left turn into Renwick division) currently lacks the appropriate pavement marking to indicate that this is a left turn lane. We have witnessed numerous cars proceeding northbound thru this turn lane (and many near accidents). Please install appropriate pavement markings as appear on all of the other turn lanes off of Sare Road. I believe this turn lane marking was missed during last summer's project to re-pave Sare Road. Many thanks for addressing this safety issue.

Newly erected "NO PARKING ANY TIME" signs in front of my building. I have permission from the land owner to park along the front curb. I would like the signs removed as not to confuse someone with writing me a ticket.

I was in the left hand lane on Walnut (going north) and a truck was next to me in the right hand lane. He sped up and slowed down with traffic so I was not in his blind spot. He knew that I was there. At the 3rd street intersection where the lanes do the "jog" the truck did not follow the lane markings. He instead went straight and "merged" into my lane, cutting me off. He did not have a turn signal on. I had to slam on my breaks in order to advoid an accident. This type of thing has happened to me many times at this intersection. The cars do not follow the lane markings! Can you repaint the markings or do something about this intersection. If you would just sit there and watch it in the mornings you would see what I mean.

All Stop signs and speed limit signs on Henderson St., from Miller Dr. to 1st Street seem to be invisible because no one ever heeds them. I would think Police presence would help, but perhaps public works could do something to convince motorists that this is not a major, high speed artery. We have a school, a park, and many pedestrians. Yesterday (4/8/13) I saw a car, traveling 40-50 mph, narrowly miss a college student at the bus stop by Blacks Lumber. Also two children have been hit in the Templeton School zone this year. This is a problem.

On 10th St during the rush hours, drivers going straight will often swerve into the right turn lanes to go around drivers who are turning left and waiting for a break in the traffic. This is dangerous and I had an close call once when I was going to turn right onto Pete Ellis and a driver in the straight/left turn lane swerved into my lane to get around the car in front of them. This is also dangerous since a driver turning left doesn't expect oncoming vehicles in the right turn lane to go straight. I'd recommend a traffic officer be present during the rush hours one day to ticket people who do this so people realize that this is not acceptable. Thanks for listening!

Since the traffic light on 2nd (Bloomfield) and Oakdale Square has been changed it has been creating quite the backup for cars attempting to turn onto Bloomfield. It appears that the lights are now timed to 37, which means that cars driving on Bloomfield speed through the Oakdale square light going much faster than 40. Further, it is now common to see more than 7 cars waiting to turn left onto Bloomfield from Oakdale drive. This creates a backup for those turning left and turning right. The old timing pattern worked sufficiently in that it slowed down the traffic on Bloomfield which regularly goes faster than 40, and it was easier to get on the road from Oakdale. Please consider untying that light to the 37 intersection.
