There is not stop sign here. There should be stop signs on both sides of the street to make it safer for pedestrians crossing the hill.

This intersection is so busy during the school year with students crossing the street to get to either bus stop or from getting off the bus stop. It’s super dangerous too because the street is so busy and the cars tend to speed down this road. They also never stop for pedestrians that are waiting to cross the road so I frequently see people running across the street to make it to the other side while there is a small break in traffic. If there was a flashing walk sign for pedestrians that forced cars to pay attention and stop for pedestrians, this area would be so much safer.

We patrol Crestmont area often and find many kids out playing on the side walks and street. There is also a lot of speeding traffic through there. We are requesting signs be put up, especially around the area that the new park is being built. Signs saying to slow down, children at play. We would like signs in several places in Crestmont, as there are many kids everywhere, if possible.

There needs to be a four way stop sign at this intersection. It’s currently not safe for cars driving northbound on Hawthorne, as you can’t see very far to the left and cars come flying down 1st street at high speed (way over the speed limit) due to the lack of stop signs along this stretch of the road. This in of itself is a safety issue for the many families living along the road but also for the bikers and pedestrians trying to cross along that Hawthorne greenway bike route. Likewise, when approaching this intersection going southbound on Hawthorne it’s very hard to see to the left. You end up having to nudge the nose of your car into the intersection to even see when you ca. try to cross. I’ve personally had a couple of close calls with speeding cars on 1st. This needs to be addressed soon or there is likely to be a serious accident at this intersection!

There are signs at this intersection for vehicles turning right onto Kirkwood that say "YIELD" but I think that it would be helpful if the signs were more explicit. I am confused by them because in general left-turning traffic must yield to right-turning traffic but there is also a crosswalk at that point, which makes me wonder if the yield is for pedestrians who are crossing or left-turning traffic. In addition, the bike lane has two exits near there; I think that one of the exits is for bicyclists who want to continue on Adams and the other (at the crosswalk) is for bicyclists who want to turn right. Is the yield sign to tell vehicles to yield to bicyclists entering the roadway and turning right, for pedestrians crossing, or for traffic? Explicit signs would be helpful for all parties at this intersection.

Perhaps a review of 7th Street from Eagleson to the intersection of Union is needed. Observations: There is only 1 "no parking" sign on the south side of the road for east bound traffic - it is located at the eastern end near Union - not helpful or visible to those entering from Eagleson. There are no bike share markings on the road, nor centerline. I have observed people turning left from Rose going west who behave as though this a one way race track westbound until met with oncoming traffic with interesting results. The east end pedestrian/bike lane design is atrocious as well being offset causing confusion for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists alike. I suppose if everyone has to stop, traffic will cease at least momentarily until some brave soul ventures into that mess. That is to say if they do stop instead of blowing thru the pedestrian crossing, or stop sign. Food for thought for the next road use checkup.

At the crossing between walnut and college between the bypass an 17th (next to verve) The westbound lane has a detour sign pointing right. There is only one tiny one way sign. This will end in someone inevitably going the wrong way following the badly placed detour sign.

When 4 or more vehicles want to go north on Adams or turn west on Kirkwood traffic backs up quickly when East bound on 3rd . No room for emergency vehicles to get through when busy. Because of the new additions.

The north & southbound stop signs are mounted on the high sides of retaining walls (seems this might be recent) and the height of them is too much relative to the driver's eye. The position of the sign northbound is also obstructed by a tree. This seems to be exacerbated by the fact that the northbound approach is on a hill. A stop ahead sign might also be helpful to emphasize the stop condition. Thank you.
