Stolen signs, also in the backyard of 520 S Eagleson
Stolen street barriers in backyard. Also stolen signs in yard behind 520 to the west in along the alley.
Street name signs atop stop sign at corner of 800 Block of University Dr and Woodlawn are bent and sagging until completely vertical. Difficult or impossible to read while in a car.
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!
Missing street signs in the intersection of E First Street and S Woodlawn Ave
In regards to the alley in between Lincoln and Grant, behind the Boys and Girls club. As you may know, that stretch of Lincoln is closed due to construction. Currently the only way to access The Boys and Girls Club is through the alley. The Club has asked parents to treat it as a one way, following the flow of Lincoln. Though of course not many are abiding and it’s almost caused me an accident last week. I had a small fender bender in that alley in 2019, he sped through one of the entrances to the alley going towards Grant as I was moving towards 3rd. With heavier traffic through this area for the Club, it’s a creating dangerous mess. I would at the very least suggest temporary “One Way” signs following the flow of Lincoln St during this construction to prevent any accidents and congestion. Thank you for your time.
The westbound stop sign at the intersection of s. Highland and e. 2nd street is obscured by vegetation, either on the property of 1307 e. 2nd or 527 s. Highland. I am routinely at this intersection and regularly see westbound cars slamming on their breaks, or running the intersection altogether. The plants and trees need to be cleared so the stop sign is visible at a safe distance. This is an accident just waiting to happen.
The bike route sign south of the Southdowns intersection on Highland (east side of the road) is totally obscured by vegetation.
Overarching bushes on Highland St. side obscure parking sign and (along with overspreading ground cover) may interfere with street sweeping, leaf collection, or snowplowing.
obscured stop sign at E. University and S. Jordan. I witnessed a large vehicle blow through this stop sign. Cross traffic does not stop....very dangerous! Stopsign is at westbound E. University
