115-157 Indiana 45 46 Bypass

Case Date:

Are mopeds and motorcycles allowed to use the 7th street tunnel under the bypass? Today, I saw two (orange scooter and a black-mini-motorcycle thing with a skull and crossbones on front, each coming from different directions) using the tunnel.

120 East Smith Avenue

The City has done a great job getting the traffic lights between 1st street onward north on Walnut Street timed so that driven at the speed limit, one can easily drive on Walnut without hitting any red lights. This greatly decreases traffic, improves commute time, and increases gas mileage. It's a pleasure to drive through these timed lights.. except... The new light at Walnut and Smith is not incorporated with the other timed lights. It's a good light for the parents who are dropping their children off at the Project School, and I understand the need for it, but it appears that light is triggered by a vehicle waiting on Smith Ave, and the trigger occurs very quickly once a vehicle stops there to wait. I'm sure this is fine during school hours, as not many vehicles use that light, but during the morning traffic flow, many parents use that light, and that signal interrupts the flow of traffic on Walnut. This could be fixed by eliminating the trigger based on a waiting vehicle on Smith, and incorporating that light with the other timed lights. This traffic pattern works well for all of the other cross streets, I don't see why it would be an inconvenience for anyone waiting at the light on Smith. Thank you!

The new light by the Chocolate Moose on Walnut going north is not in sync with the rest of the lights. You get through at 2nd then stop at the Moose. Go again just in time to stop at a red light at 3rd. Can it sync up?

Can you add 5 or 10 more seconds to the left turn arrow for Northbound on Walnut left turn onto Grimes? Traffic is backing up to Hillside at all times of the day because of the Country Club closure. 15 seconds is not enough time.

125-145 South Adams Street

Case Date:

Traveling west on Kirkwood, turning left onto Adams, there is a speed limit sign of 25 MPH. Continuing west on 3rd street, there are no other speed limit signs until you get in front of the Cozy Table restaurant. That sign is 35 MPH. There are signs going the other direction, indicating 35 MPH, all the way. Is this the way this street is supposed to be signed? By the way, in case no one noticed, the typical speed of traffic on west 3rd is about 45 MPH.

When traveling W. on Kirkwood and coming to the light at Adams, there are 2 left turn lanes but no good markings to guide cars to their respective lanes on Adams. We were almost hit by a car next to us that drifted into our lane as we turned. You need to put some nice wide solid white arcs to prevent an accident there.

1300-1318 East 10th Street

Case Date:

There needs to be a pedestrian walk light in the walk way across 10th Street from Kelley to the library. As it currently stands, pedestrians block the flow of traffic for as much a 15 minutes--and I mean, literally, zero cars get through. Not only does this contribute to the already congested traffic on campus, it is a hazard to every pedestrian, as well as the cars. The traffic from this walkway often extends west to Indiana Ave. and 7th Street and east to Crosstown Shopping Center. Cars block the intersections and it creates hazards for everyone. Students haphazardly cross the road without looking or paying attention because the walkway basically gives them carte blanche to do so. It only takes one driver not paying attention for a very bad incident to occur. I know I am not the first person to complain about this and when an incident happens, everyone will look to the Street Division and wonder why no one has ever done anything to fix this situation. All it takes is some sort of flashing light at the walkway similar to a cross walk that periodically stops pedestrian traffic and allows traffic through. Thank you.

1311 S Grant ST

One of my constituents is wondering why there are not more 25 MPH speed limit signs on Grant St. between Grimes and Hillside. Are you still in process of putting these up? Also, there need to be more on Washington and Lincoln along the same stretch, she says.
