Citizen says there is a short stretch of Hillside east of the intersection with Woodlawn which is dangerous to bicyclists and could be easily fixed by paving the shoulder. Julio will give copy of full comments from website to Tim.
Bicyclists don't abide by the law. Will Bike/Ped Commission be concerned with bike safety? We should pass bike safety laws. (see attached) (FYI---GIS System does not recognize address Mr. Venstra gave.)
Streetlight in front of residence shines directly into their bedroom. Would like a shield placed on the east and south sides of the lamp to prevent the light from shining in.
Historic street lights on Hawthorne are rusting out and in bad need of repainting.
Intersection of 3rd and Pete Ellis is dangerous. Often a line for a left hand turn from 3rd develops to enter the B N parking lot. Island on 3rd doesn't allow traffic to get out of way from through traffic. Problem results in sudden braking and traffic congestion into College Mall and 3rd intersection. Resident would greatly appreciate a reply to his complaint. Please see Julio for copy of inquiry.
