During construction, there is not a safe way for pedestrians, joggers, wheelchairs, baby strollers and other non-vehicle movement through this blind road. Recommend routing traffic or reducing speeds to allow for people to safely get through this tight spot.
Bus stop for MCCSC and park at intersection, high pedestrian use intersection. Request crosswalk markings be repainted with bold "piano key" type highly visible markings.
A "Use the Zipper" or a "Take Turns Merging" sign (with a "Start Merge Here" sign) would make the merging by the new hospital safer. People queue up on one side and get angry/aggressive when others do not want to queue so (unnecessarily) early.
I fully support the e 3rd changes as of now but please keep them in mind if any one tries to build exceedingly dense housing by century village again as the new system may struggle. Maybe not if bus and bike is super easy out there. Thanks
There are no stop signs or speed bumps for a long section on Maxwell Lane between High Street and Jordan Avenue. The speed limit is 25. People are regularly driving 50. From Jordan heading east toward Sheridan there is a hill. Traffic turning or crossing at Mitchell aren’t able to see over the hill. If people drove the posted speed limit, it would not be an issue. There is regular honking as people speeding east on Maxwell crest the hill to find cars turning onto Maxwell from Mitchell or the residences. There are also many elementary students in the very near area, and a bus stop on Maxwell at Sheridan. A stop sign at Mitchell or Sheridan on Maxwell would drastically improve the safety of the area.
A STOP sign would help reduce speeds on Allendale, as well as help with safety of bikes as this is a Bike Route. This is a dangerous intersection for individuals as cars on Allendale go at high speeds, especially when turning.
With the prolonged closure of W17th St, is it possible to change the pavement markings on Crescent Rd at it's intersection with Fountain Dr? Eliminating the left turn lane on Crescent Rd, leaving just a single lane on Crescent Rd would greatly improve the turning radius from Fountain Dr onto Crescent Rd. With the construction of I69 there is very minimal traffic turning right from Crescent Rd to Fountain Dr, not enough to justify a dedicated lane. Thanks!
I really don't know what category this would fall under since it really encompasses several things, so I have just called it "other." I see that in case #170862, there has been a complaint regarding speeding through the W. 12th, 13th, and Illinois Streets area. This is very much like a report I made a few months ago regarding speeding on W. 11th St between N. Adams St. and Fountain Dr. (I don't have the specific case #) The statement in case 170862 is correct. There are children, pedestrians, a transit stop, and an increasing amount of scooter traffic in this area. I am assuming that it's because of the increasing density on Crescent Rd., but the traffic is heavy on W. 11th, and there are many drivers who run through the section between Adams and the curve at Fountain Dr at a speed well above that of a residential area. I own seven pieces of property on Oolitic and W. 11th, so I am there a lot to see it. One issue is that there are no speed limit signs either direction in the area between Adams and Fountain Dr. This is an issue that can be remedied, and I am hoping that speed limit signs can be placed. A second issue is the design of the road encourages speed. It doesn't look like a residential street. This is a much more complicated issue. I would like to put in a request that, at some point, the section of W. 11th between N. Adams and Fountain Dr. receive curbs on both sides. This is still zoned residential despite the presence of C&S and the one artisan property. This brings me to a third issue. Residential/neighborhood streets are typically limited at 25 MPH. In addition, Tri-North is right there and numerous students walk to and from school. I would like to request that the speed limit on W. 11th from the railroad bridge to Fountain Dr be reduced to 25 MPH. It is currently 30. Finally, I know that the police department is stretched thin. More officers are needed and I absolutely understand that fact, to say nothing about the fact that they have to argue to get a city contract put through. However, I do hope that, whenever possible, an officer can radar monitor for speeders on that section of W. 11th. Please note, I did see an officer pull over a speeder. Thank you for that. I don't wish to get people in trouble. I only wish for safety. That isn't an industrial artery, it IS a residential street. Thank you for your time.
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.
Stop sign at S Jamie Ln and Benson Ct. south bound (approaching from the North) is completely concealed by foliage until it is too late to stop. Many have run that stop sign as it is not visible on approach.
