Heading east on Third Street, there is a lane divider near the Big Red Liquor followed by a double yellow line however on MANY occasions cars try to turn left there which not only stops traffic but has the risk of accidents for people getting around them. I've seen yellow virtical 'posts' that are used to inhibit turning and wonder if that might be a solution.
Resident requests speedbumps in the area of 12th, 13th and Illinois Streets. Said people fly through that neighborhood and he's worried about kids at the new park.
I live at the corner of S. Park Avenue and University Street. In the last two months, there have been at least 4 traffic accidents at the corner when someone does not stop. While the police were called for 2 of the accidents, the others did not involve the police (drove off or exchanged information). The police were called when the accidents were significant enough to require towing away one (or both) vehicles. I do not know that a four-way stop is the right solution to reduce this problem, but something should be done.
Going north on Rogers St, at the intersection with 3rd, the right lane is not very well marked as a turn only lane, or the marking have worn away. Two cars today alone cut me off in that intersection as I was in the left lane going straight and they were in the right lane, apparently also going straight. This is an accident waiting to happen. This intersection needs better markings and/or signage to make it safer and easier to navigate.
The median on Rogers near the Community Kitchen needs reflectors. It is very hard to see it at night
I have observed two near-collisions at the intersection of South Highland and East Hillside. Drivers coming from the west on Hillside seem sometimes to be surprised to find westbound traffic, preparing to make a lefthand turn and turn south on Highland, appearing in what the eastbound drivers perceive to be "their space." The street markings are nearly invisible. I'm sure repainting is scheduled but sooner might be good . . . Thanks!
I don't think 10th really needs expanded but if you do that recommendation make sure a signal goes in at 10th and Smith. It's already dangerous there turning left from Smith. Right turners squeeze by and obstruct view. Left turn protections and flow needs improved both at 10th and Smith and Third and Smith
I submitted ticket 176160 on June 14th. It was "closed" with the assurance having been sent to me that the needed pavement repainting on East Hillside was scheduled for July. Alas, it's August and - as of yesterday anyway - nothing has happened. Saw another "near miss" last Saturday, July 31st. I'm hoping not to see any more. Thanks!
I noticed at the round about on South Care road the painted land indicators on the pavement are getting quite dull... It might be time to consider re stenciling these on the pavement assists. Thanks
There needs to be a roundabout or traffic light at Prow & Arlington, because it is a nearly daily issue, twice a day, because the intersection is an unprotected free-for-all PLUS inexperienced drivers.
