Comments for the Engineering Department for their preparation in advance of the May commission meeting at city hall regarding safety improvements at the intersection of East Morningside Drive and Smith Road to encourage southbound traffic on Smith Road to stop at the Morningside Greenway: My observation in proximity to the stop sign disclosed that visibility of the sign is compromised by tree branches that have grown into the right of way to the extent of overhanging part of the southbound traffic lane. Limited visibility of the stop sign from the railroad underpass has the visual effect as if the sign were at the end of a long tunnel. Trimming the trees west of the sidewalk would have an immediate positive effect on safety at the Greenway intersection. Adding a STOP AHEAD flashing caution sign midway between the underpass and Morningside would be helpful. Flashing signs with solar powered lights are available on the internet for under $1,000 which seems reasonable for safety in comparison to medical expenses after a collision and the recent significant Greenway cost of sidewalks, speed calming bump outs and asphalt speed cushions. The Morningside and Smith intersection is well known for southbound traffic ignoring the stop sign. Commuters connecting from 10th to Third Street have grown accustomed to watching the stoplight at Third Street rather than respecting the Morningside stop sign. This notorious traffic hazard is deserving of a trifecta solution, including trimming trees, adding a caution sign, and replacing the stop sign, which in its present bent condition does not provide adequate reflectivity at night.

The 7th St Longview Greenway sign is missing. :( FYI See the picture. This is from google maps. The arrow is still there but the top part is gone.

A resident called in to report traffic signage (detour signage, perhaps?) fell into the roadway and scratched their vehicle at 2nd and Patterson. They called to inquire about the tort claims process; they were directed to Legal's webpage about the process for filing a claim. They also called to trigger a response from staff to address the signage in the roadway.

This detour sign has been in front of my house for weeks. Due to the ineffective base, it has constantly been falling over. I have tried various things. The arrow came off a while ago. A person from the engineering office came out to look over the situation over 10 days ago and he decided to put it face down and said that he would contact the contractors responsible. I haven’t heard from anyone since. Before I tried to place the sign upright a couple days ago, I was moving the sign which was flat from place to place in my yard so the grass didn’t die under it. What you see is the longest the sign has stayed in one place. This is not the only sign around my neighborhood that has not stayed up - I’ve seen at least 3, and my neighbor who walks everywhere has seen them on sidewalks.

Stop signage is not a 4 way stop. Coming off of 45/45 is not a stop sign. Stop sign says “All Way” since it’s a 3-Way, therefore it is not required.

Three of the four parts of the intersection say all ways stop southbound has no stop sign. Sounds contradicting to the other signs.

No parking sign seems to be missing from the sign post at this approximate location.

It looks like there was a car crash here and a stop sign that is usually at this intersection is missing. Thought we should report it as a potential hazard
