Traffic using the stretch of South Park Ridge Rd between Morningside Drive and E 46 is consistently traveling at a very high rate of speed. This has always been an issue and now compounded with additional traffic utilizing this pass due to the temporary closure of E46 and Smith Rd. Attempting to back out of my driveway safely has become a real problem as there is a slight curve north of my driveway which creates a bit of a blind spot. Wondering if there can be some sort of traffic calming structures, caution lights or something that will help deter the speed of the traffic through this stretch. Thank you.

117 S. Heritage Rd. This picture shows how the traffic jammed at the conner where the vehicles parked on the street. I am happy to meet the Mayor this morning at Farmers Market and showed her all the pictures I sent to you. Yesterday friends gathered discuss this hazardous situation at my driveway, we saw some garden workers carrying their tools walking from Morningside toward 3rd street to work. Why are you doing this? We don’t want park our pickup truck and trailer at Heritage to block the traffic. What a consideration! Even garden workers have the sense of responsibility. The city officers didn’t prepared ahead of time to prevent the dangerous situation, ignored the fact there ought to be heavy traffic on Heritage Rd. Even all the companies saying there’s no Detour sign, City didn’t direct drivers to use Heritage Rd. This is intentionally created a hazardous situation for all the residents in the city. The Mayor promised to look into the case. But on the safe side I am going to contact my lawyer, in case God blinks his eyes, some tthing terrible happens.

Traveling eastbound on 2nd Street, when preparing to turn right onto College, there is a "No Turn On Red" sign with a street light behind it. The light isn't shielded, and because of this, it's nearly impossible to read at night. Please see attached photo.

Thanks for the investigation. I learned a lot. Even it’s public street, not a public parking lot, legal parking is above the legal driving. If the driver hits the legal parking vehicle is the driver’s responsibility. This is so ridiculous! The one parked his vehicle on the public street is the one created a dangerous condition for the drivers. The main purpose of a street is for people to travel. From one place to another. I don’t mean you need stop the parking on public street law, but make it more acceptable. I remember when my kids were in IU, we had 3 cars, when their friends came visit, everyone parked on the grass area to leave more room for other drivers to pass. Things changed within the legal parking on the public street rule. I felt so sorry for my neighbor who bumped into officer’s vehicle. It must be a big shock for her. To tell the truth under such a hazardous situation, a person insist to hold his privileges of legal parking on the public street despite the harmful fact is intentionally create troubles for the other drivers. It is necessary to make this legal parking on the public street rule into a safe one for the drivers.

117 S. Heritage Rd. This morning took me at least 10 m. standing by my driveway to guide my daughter back up to leave. While I was doing it, friends came by to complaint about this situation which drove them crazy. No one can argue with legal parking on the public street, is it legal to drive on the public street? If a legal driver’s vehicle hit a legal parking vehicle, who’s responsibility it is? Why under such a hazardous situation people still willing to take the risk to park their vehicles on the public street? Must be something worth to explore.
