The "no parking" sign in front of this house has been removed (just the post remains). This is right in front of the house where the off-campus fraternity operated in violation of the city's zoning ordinance (which we reported but the city did nothing about), whose residents and guests habitually parked on the "no parking" side (which the city never enforced). Please replace the sign so the next tenants know they cannot park on that side of the street.
The pedestrian crossing sign has been missing from where the B-Line crosses 7th Street for about two weeks. I called BPD dispatch about this issue two weeks ago, but the sign is still missing. Very dangerous for people using the B-Line and for drivers crossing the B-Line.
First off, I want to say thanks for the stop sign that was recently installed on 7th St at the B-Line trail crossing. This is much appreciated but I have a suggestion for a small change to help improve safety even further. I walk that intersection multiple times a day and see cars that seem to think it is a 4-way stop. If a car stops (and TBH most do not stop) I have seen multiple cases where the car thinks they then have the right away and proceed in front of crossing bikes and pedestrians. My suggestion is to add signage that says "cross traffic does not stop" or similar which is very common for other 2 way stops around the city. That would just be one more sign to the drivers that the trail traffic has the right away and is not required to stop. Thanks!
A police car (#129) turned right on a red light, despite a big obvious sign that says NO TURN ON RED. They did not have their lights or siren on. This was at 5:11 pm on Aug 28, heading west on 3rd street, turning north onto Rogers. These signs are meant to protect pedestrians. Aren’t cops supposed to model legal behavior in traffic?
The stop sign posted at the corner of our lot (where E Gilbert Dr and N Laverne Dr intersect) is missing. Currently, the post is standing with no sign indicating "STOP." As this is a hazard to the vehicle and pedestrian traffic in our neighborhood, would it be possible to replace the sign quickly?
Stop sign obscured by overgrown foliage.
Street sign at S Hillsdale Dr and 4th Street is damaged
Broken of street sign post. Dangerous.
There used to be a stop sign for drivers headed west on Lingelbach Lane at the Union St intersection. The stop sign (and pole) disappeared a few weeks ago. I’ve had a couple of close calls since then with drivers not realizing they are supposed to stop.
