a few weeks ago i wrote on ureport about the missing crosswalk button device at the intersection of west 3rd street & franklin. later when i looked at ureport again i could see that a city engineer had contacted the i-69 project to tell them it was their problem. it still didn't get fixed, so i called the phone # for 1-69 & left a voice message. a man from there called me back & said that their project doesn't go that far, so it's up to the city to fix that. his name is kirk roth so if there is still a dispute, please call him at the phone# on their website. this needs to get resolved please for pedestrian safety at a very busy intersection. people who live on yancy etc need to cross there to get to the bus-stop across the street to go to work. thanks

What used to be a 10 minute drive to work now takes close to 35. Why? Construction on Tapp, 37, Rodgers, Walnut, 10th Street, Dunn, Fee, and Gordon Pike closed. There is literally not any route left to get to work. Everyone on the south side is forced to sit in traffic for two to three times the normal length due to terrible planning by the city in the closing of streets and construction that has effectivity shut down part of the city and prevent us from going anywhere or doing anything.

To: Mayor Hamilton, if you could please look at ureport case #161401 from october 3. now it is 2 months later & that crosswalk button at a very busy intersection (west 3rd st & franklin) still isn't fixed. i see mr. cibor's note there from oct.18 but even if he has to coordinate with another agency, it still shouldn't take this long. i am afraid i am going to get hit by a big truck. i cannot walk very fast because of medical problems. also, there will be snow & ice soon, making crossing there even more difficult.

With Smith becoming a mess (please address N. Smith too with the State), traffic and speeding only continues to worsen on E. Morningside Drive. Of particular disappointment is the frequent speeding of school and City buses, going far in excess of reasonable speeds with even deadlier vehicles. The small City bus (Access bus or whatever it was called) was going INSANELY quick two days ago. Recent neighborhood chatter: -At the bus stop at Sheffield and Providence this morning I watched a car fly around the school bus while it was fully stopped with its arm out. The car was heading out of the neighborhood. The vehicle was a black Hyundai Veloster, I believe. Very frequently there are kids running across this area, to catch the bus. This driver was reckless, and put our children’s lives at risk. As a mom of small kids I am very concerned with the number of drivers who don’t seem to remember they are in a neighborhood. Those who are against some strategic speed bumps, how do you propose we curb this behavior when a stopped school bus can’t even cause them pause? -I know I have many unpopular opinions such as this one, but, I fully support speed bumps. I know that doesn't ✨solve✨ it but I can't see anything else really being equally as/more effective at this point. -Hear hear! And while we are at it, does everyone know texting and driving is illegal and VERY dangerous? Our house sits high up and we can easily see down onto the road and into cars. We see how many people are doing it. If you’re one of those people, we probably see you doing it. Speeding/being reckless/texting and driving through a pedestrian/bike/pet-heavy area isn’t a problem. Until it is when someone gets struck. Please be mindful!! -I agree, we need speed bumps in this neighborhood. We live on a culdesac and it is frequently a racetrack! -We’d be happy to have speed bumps or strips on Morningside and keep all the kids by the park, crossing the intersection, safe. It’s clear it’s being used as a cut through. Someone flying into their driveway the other day in front of my son gave us a good scare. I know we all get in a rush, but slowing down would do us all some good. There are so many littles and pets in the neighborhood. -Well, since my house has been hit twice in the last 20 years by speeding teens, and the fact that the stop on N Park Ridge and Walpole seems to be ignored more than not, I'm fully behind speed bumps!!!! -Ron Smith" Please let us know what change and enforcement can be coming soon. In addition, the Longview Greenway portion behind Aldi's has now been destroyed? That was a primary bike path for our neighborhood to campus and downtown. When will that be restored? We have hopes speed humps with cut-outs and/or other measures to slow traffic will not only be present there but be present all the way through Park Ridge East for east-west connectivity and safety of children/pedestrians/cyclists.

Today I was almost killed by a motorist on the 7th St. bike trail. There needs to be signage for the motorists. Too many out of town drivers on a regular basis to think it can be a learned infrastructure!

N Smith and Morningside remains dangerous with many not stopping on N Smith. Yes per Planning signs may be "visible" per the book but doesn't mean people expect and abide by them there - flashers or other item especially to protect bikers crossing at Greenway needed. Though State intersection, N. Smith and 10th also remains dangerous for turns during heavy traffic.

Contractor/company installing public project fiber has not provided any advance notice to any neighbors. Instead, we all received flyers AFTER work was done. Several issues with work existed, but the number goes to a voicemail and language barriers prevented communication with staff onsite with some neighbors. Please make sure work and appropriate rehabilitation occurs with large City projects such as this. Machinery should be parked on pavement, not yards, for instance overnight, etc.

#183213 Blocked Sidewalk: # 182909 Blocked Sidewalk FROM ONE MONTH AGO NO RESPONSE!!!! Assigned to Michael Stewart MICHAEL STEWART HASN'T RESPONDED TO CASES FOR TWO MONTHS. I have identified a hazard and the city is doing NOTHING about it. Why have this reporting system if our citizen complaints aren’t being answered?
