The alley connecting W 3rd Street to W 4th Street, adjacent to 415 W 4th Street, has become a significant pedestrian safety concern. Vehicles frequently travel through the alley and cross the sidewalk onto W 4th Street without stopping or yielding to pedestrians. There is currently no stop sign, crosswalk, or other traffic control indicating that drivers should stop before crossing the pedestrian path, and the path is totally blind to alleyway drivers. This is a year-round issue but it becomes especially hazardous during IU student move-in and other high-traffic periods, when both vehicle and pedestrian traffic increase considerably. People who regularly walk through this area have reported multiple instances of nearly being struck by vehicles exiting the alley. I am requesting that the City evaluate this location and consider installing a stop sign for vehicles exiting the alley and/or adding a marked pedestrian crossing or other appropriate safety measure. Given the limited visibility and lack of any traffic-control signage, some form of intervention seems necessary before someone is injured.

It is very difficult to turn right here when heading east on 17th to head south on Madison. As this area is redesigned, please keep in mind the need for commuters to get into the city center and make the light. It is often so backed up with the many stoplights in a row on 17th that is becomes difficult to get anywhere at peak times especially. Additionally, the turn radius is increasingly difficult to not hit someone in the turn lane on Madison when turning right from 17th to head south on Madison.

Using this intersection is very difficult when heading north on Madison to turn left to go west on 17th st. Theirs is not an adequate turn lane or signal to accommodate how many at peak times want to turn left to head west on 17th st. I know this is being looked at as a part of a whole roadway redesign, but this needs to be prioritized as a part of it. No one can get through and the traffic is infuriating. It is incredibly difficult to head west in this town. Please ensure this is factored into the future plans here.

Still can’t clearly see the walking trail when crossing this intersection coming from under the train bridge. Not sure if the wrecker service owns the easement behind their building or if it is city maintained but it NEEDS to be mowed down on all sides at this crossing to improve visibility before a pedestrian is injured.

When driving west on 9th and stopped at Lincoln, it is really difficult to see on-coming traffic from the south because of two things. There are some plants out front that are too tall and completely prevent drivers from seeing unless they pull way forward, and at that point the car is already in the street and could get hit. Also, for some reason there is a huge deck in the front yard, the kind that really belongs in someone's backyard. Why are they allowed to have a deck right there that looks terrible and blocks view of oncoming traffic? It looks so trashy.

Overgrown weeds/brush/branches here block view for drivers turning left (south) onto Walnut St. Pike from E. Allendale Dr. (side of Allendale east of Walnut St. Pike.)

Tall grass on the east side of the intersection is blocking the view for drivers turning off Dunn st. onto Old 37. Very dangerous!

The sidewalk starting at 2206 S Rockport Rd to Countryside Ln is very overgrown. It creates a hazard because you have to leave the side walk in some areas and Rockport is a bust road.
