A huge tree just fell across the street from my house (300 S Fairview). It's on the City's boulevard. No damage to houses or people that I can see. It is blocking the side walk only, not the street. Thank goodness it fell where it did and not onto the street or a house! I know Ladd Rentals owns 301 S Fairview. Jaclyn

I'm sure that 90% of what you recieve are complaints. In this regard instead of complaining, I have an idea for a more efficient and less dangerous form of traffic onto 3rd street from S. Muller Parkway, heading West. People turn through the 3rd St. turning lane risking danger and a ticket and also any dangerous U-Turns in the middle of the Intersection of 3rd St. and S. Cory Lane.
I have to deal with this pressure when needing to turn west onto 3rd St. almost every day because I worked down 3rd St. west and I live off of S. Basswood Drive. One time I got pulled over by a sheriff for going through the 3rd St. turning lane and recieved a warning, luckily.
Now, the cross-section of 3rd St. and S. Muller Parkway only allows traffic to go From 3rd St. on to S. Muller Parkway. I know that is because the road to S. Muller Parkway crosses with the road to 3rd St. west which would obviously cause collisions. According to the Google earth map, the distance is 720 Ft. to the Intersection of 3rd and S. Cory Lane From S. Muller Parkway. I have a proposal to avoid crossing the turning lane and dangerous U-Turns in the intersection for heading west on 3rd St. (Also saves gas and driving distance of course.)
I created a plan in the diagram Image from the street map I aquired that I uploaded to show you for an example of the proposal. This Google map is very outdated, but it gives you a good prospective of the idea. All of this should work. There is enough space where the very wide curb(street gap) resides inbetween street directions for the proposed turn-offs, as there is for the turn-off heading west on 3rd St.
Turn-off Option 1 only 172 Ft. down 3rd St. East: Reduce 3rd St. West Turning lane by half and add a turning lane on 3rd St. East wilst dividing the width of each lane Equally. After reducing the curb size, a thinner middle curb remains dividing them still. The turning lane off of 3rd St. west is relatively long as you'll see. Longer than necessary for a small neighborhood road, so I figure option 1 is feasible.
Turn-off Option 2 Only 265 Ft.(maybe give or take 30 Ft.) down 3rd St. East connecting to the Gas Station. People can choose to turn into the gas station and out or make a u-turn.
Thank you very much,
Eliot
P.S. It was fun putting this together to present to you.
Oh btw, as a side note, it would be great if you expanded the Report Details Description dialog boxes in the form scripts, because I can't see what I write. Instead I wrote everything out in notepad, copied and pasted.

Hello, a car was parked illegally in front of my car today on Washington St at the stop sign at 2nd street. Since the car behind me was practically at my bumper, I was not able to access my car and make it to work on time because the car in front of me parked illegally.

The sidewalk on the east side of Sare Road, just north of Jackson Creek, appears to have been the site of a recent one car accident, with quite a few Pontiac car parts littering the sidewalk. The adjacent light pole also appears to have been hit, and parts of the lamp are on the sidewalk as well as across the road (on the west side of Sare). Thanks for your kind assistance!

Hi,
I live at 1036 W. 6th St. A small alley runs behind my home and the houses on 7th St.. It is incredibly muddy and cars will surely be stuck there if it is not remedied as soon as possible.
Can you please let me know if it will be attended to.
Thanks so very much.

This short connector sidewalk is becoming impassable due to overgrown vegetation. It is a really useful path to avoid biking up the hill on Winslow in traffic.

A tree limb and vines around a couple of wires leading to a phone pole. The vines are pulling the wires down. I am on home dialysis and my supplies come on a semi every other week. The truck almost pulled them down, since they are so low. Acutally that whole south side of the tree needs cut back, the City normally does that but hasn't this year.
Thank you for your time.
