201-297 West 3rd Street

Case Date:
6/12/2014

Several months ago I almost had an accident while going west on 3rd St. and turning left on College. I did not see a car coming east on 3rd St. Last week I was going east on 3rd and was coming up from the overpass and I understood why I previously did not see the car I almost hit. The slope of the street and the plant pots obstruct seeing cars. You might consider removing the pots to allow for a better view in both directions.

125-145 South Adams Street

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.

Need to clearly mark traffic lanes on 3rd street heading west thru Dunn Street intersection - it appears as one wide lane since the bike lane was marked and there are two lanes of traffic, in a curve. Thank you.

Corner of Dunn and 3rd street, need to place an additional "no turn on red sign" next to signal light. Many people turn right onto 3rd street from Dunn in front of on-coming traffic.

1920 E 3rd ST

During peak hours of the day (4-6:00pm), I would like to see a no left-turn sign from east-bound third street onto Rose or Union. In addition, it would be nice to have a no left-turn sign from those roads turning on third street. This area gets very congested during the standard commute to the east side and significant delays are caused by motorist trying to make those turns.

We leave in a neighborhood with a dead end street called South Covey. Many people speed while driving on this street ignoring and disobeying the speed limit sign. It is very dangerous to be spending time with our kids outside our house when people are driving by extremely fast. Some bushes cause blind spots to drivers and pedestrians which can easily cause an accident if not paying attention. There are six families (including mine) who have two kids each. Some of the kids are toddlers, some are 4-7 years old and are still learning to cross the street. Our neighbors and I have been discussing different preventive measures to avoid an accident because of the lack of signs to let drivers know that children are playing in this neighborhood. I'm writing to request a sign that will let drivers know that children are playing constantly. A sign that will keep our children safe and where they can enjoy outdoor activities in our neighborhood. A "Slow, Children" sign will be effective so drivers can drive slow and watching out for children playing. Also, we want to request a speed bump so drivers slow down every time they pass this street and be more cautious of their surroundings. My neighbors, family and I will greatly appreciate if you can take immediate action in this situation. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions regarding this matter. Sincerely, Adriana Spencer (915) 727-4265

403 S Jordan AVE

Case Date:
4/13/2014

Traffic southbound on Jordan is always held up by people waiting for the left turn to go east on Atwater. Countless times I've seen that the light has already cycled to yellow by the time northbound traffic has cleared, and as a result cars have backed up all the way to third st. If the switching equipment allows jordan southbound to get green BEFORE jordan northbound, it will improve intersection throughput tremendously.

hi! first, i'm wondering what's up with the striping on third street between Jordan and Indiana Ave(by campus and frats). The left lane striping has been moved about a foot to the left, off center, narrowing the lane substantially; ie, off mid-way between the two lanes, confusing to drivers. I almost got into an accident, who swerved into my lane, no signal, I believe mostly since the lane markings have been manipulated and are unsafe and unclear. Second: you guys did a fantastic job on the bypass expansion. Now, there needs to be markers at all the medians and intersections that have newly installed medians. At night, this is a nightmare, ie, making a turn and not seeing the island. There are no markers for the medians. There are numerous examples of this all over town, predominantly related to bypass expansion though. So, for example, all along the bypass, between 3rd and College/Walnut intersection. There are no signs that a median exists and to remain right of center. These are needed up and down 3rd street, near Woodscrest/high, and downtown near 3rd and college/walnut. Its impossible to see the median at night; there is no yellow paint, no markings indicating any kind of median, making it very unsafe. This also includes needing a sign at Clarize, heading North, past the stop sign, behind Kmart, where the road splits and the island begins. There is no sign indicating an island and to stay to the right at the split. Thank you for making our roads safer by considering these safety measures. Jay
