The two blocks of S. Banta Ave that connect Tapp Road to Ralston and West Graham have no sidewalks, and many children live in the vicinity (including my own). The Broadview Learning Center's playground a few blocks away is a major draw for the neighborhood children, both in houses and in apartment buildings up and down this road. However, the lack of traffic control on Ralston and the ability to cut up Banta Avenue from Tapp Road during times of the day when the Tapp/Rockport intersection becomes congested due to commuter and other traffic (especially those using it as a means to connect to 37), means that cars race up Banta to speed around the corner and shortcut to Rockport. Since the neighborhood children have no sidewalks here, or on Graham (which is a major route to the only park that is easily accessible), it is incredibly hazardous. If the city won't oversee the creation of sidewalks on these busy "shortcut" roads, could some signs and speed bumps be put in? Particularly on Banta, which is built on a hill up one side and down the other, irresponsible car traffic makes all the parents (and neighbors) frightened for our children. Additionally, the triangular corner of Rockport and Graham and Banta has no shoulder trimmed back from the large pine trees there, which not only makes it difficult to see around, but more hazardous for the many bus patrons that get off at the Countryview Apartments, and are forced to cut through the private property on the opposite side of the street, rather than risk being hit by a motorist that can't see them around that corner.

I am requesting speed bumps for Covenanter Drive, between College Mall Road and Clarizz Blvd. This is residential area with two large apartment complexes. It's also a heavily traveled road for buses, bikes and vehicles, as well, as pedestrians. Many use it as a way to cut through the area or to reach nearby apartment complexes, the mall, the large Kroger, or medical offices. Speeding is a concern. Line of sight can also be issue with two bus stops, curbside parking, the road's curve and change in elevation. I think speed bumps would help the issue, just like it has done on Covenanter Drive, going west from College Mall to High Street.

Swain is no parking on both sides of the street between 3rd street and Atwater. And it is marked with 'No Parking Any Time' signs in several spots. There is one spot that people always park. Sometimes even going the wrong way. This spot is next to the Ami restaurant parking lot. This is especially dangerous when delivery trucks are parked on the other side of Swain delivering to Mother Bears. I've attached a photo to show cars parking in this spot. There is a sign in front of these cars, and another behind them. Where they are parked is a curb that has the entrance to the Ami parking lot to the front of them and to the back of them. They think since there is no sign on this part of the curb that they can park there. I would like to see a sign posted in this part of the curb. Having s sign posted in this part of the curb would eliminate most if not all of this parking.

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.

When heading N on Highland and turning L onto 3rd Street, it is extremely difficult to see around the TIS Bookstore. Cars with long noses practically have to inch out into traffic to see whether any vehicles are coming. (I suspect this may be partly responsible for the collision at the intersection I saw a few days ago.) My suggestion for a solution is to install convex traffic mirrors to increase visibility around the corner. These are used to excellent effect in the many tight corners in Europe, where streets and buildings often existed long before modern traffic conditions.

While it's always been an issue by my definition, the amount of speeding has seemed to have gone way up in recent weeks/months. There are a lot of kids playing in this general area and many of us in the neighborhood are more and more concerned. What can be done?
