Light is on timer. Turns red when no one is there and backs up traffic on Bloomfield rd. During rush hours especially bad. Why isn’t it on a trip system
Could we have increased signage at Atwater and Fess indicating that cross traffic does not stop? This additional sign could be affixed to each of the current stop signs. This location is particularly prone to near-misses as the parking garage invites visitors into town who don't necessarily realize that Atwater is a major East artery for the town.
A stop sign at Allendale and Westminster (for cars going east on Allendale--sign is on south side of road)is constantly being ignored by folks driving on Allendale. Is foliage blocking the sign maybe? We need some traffic calming measures before someone gets injured by a car not stopping.
On Jackson between 13th & 15th, speed limit sign blocked by a tree
The reflective signs designating the runoff/curb/flower boxes on Allen Street are white. They completely disappear in the snow. Several cars have driven into and over the curbs. Large yellow/green/red signs are needed to make these less hazardous.
The markings on Atwater do not make it clear AT ALL where cars can/should park and where there is a turning lane. While some parking spots are marked with signage, the lines on the street seem to indicate that it's a turn lane. Today (1/24) at approximately 2:15PM there were cars parked in some areas that seem to be marked parking spots, but cars were also parked well past that area, including the one marked with a circle that was parked all the way at the corner. This area desperately needs clearer signage and road markings. The signs don't make it clear where parking stops, the street markings seem to indicate that the turn lane starts at an area that has parking, and the curb markings indicate that you could park up to the corner.
The IU Health LifeLine ambulance service has relocated a couple ambulance to the area. If possible, was seeing about signs on W 1st Street to the East and the West of the intersection to alert vehicles that Emergency Vehicles may be approaching.
Turn signals trigger although no cars are in turn lanes.
Car and truck drivers regularly speed down 12th Street between Walnut and Indiana, and do so at all hours. Now, in addition to that they have been racing up Lincoln Street between 10th and 12th, likely to avoid the traffic lights at 10th/Walnut and the new one at 11th/Walnut. Fully half of the speeding vehicles have "Dominoes" pizza signs on the roof. Why did the City allow a junkfood delivery service to be situated where they could race through a residential neighborhood? Is there a way to prevent the delivery drivers from using 12th Street and Lincoln unless they have actual deliveries in the neighborhood? Or at least slow them down a bit. It seems like a Stop sign at 11th/Lincoln would help on that street, and two Stop signs on 12th (at Lincoln and either Washington or Grant) would make it safer. PLEASE do something about this. It can only get worse if/when "The Standard" is ever done and occupied. It will be a nightmare unless the City is proactive and puts up Stop signs where they are warranted. (And the arguement that "No one stops at Stop signs" used by the traffic board in the past is specious. If true, why then are there any stop signs put up anywhere?
At the intersection of E. 2nd St. and S. Woodlawn Ave., Westbound traffic is frequently running or failing to stop at the stop sign due to A tree obscuring the stop sign’s visibility. This is a school zone and there is quite a bit of pedestrian traffic , many of whom are wearing headphones, between the IU campus and Bryan Park.
