Can the city consider installing “cross-traffic does not stop” signs below the stop signs on Allen Street at its intersections with Washington and Lincoln Streets? Cyclists may be lulled into a false sense of security as they ride on Allen Street, a marked bicycle boulevard, especially if they have just come off the B-Line trail where they are conditioned to cars yielding to them at intersections. As such, they might not be watching diligently for cross-vehicular traffic (or will assume that vehicles are going to stop for them) on Washington and Lincoln Streets, which does not have to stop at their respective Allen Street intersections. By installing “cross-traffic does not stop” signs (both eastbound and westbound) on Allen Street, safety can be improved by giving cyclists another warning that they had better heed the stop signs.

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.

(1) The speed limit sign on S. Swain Ave. posts a 30mph limit between University and E. 2nd St. This is a block with 3 houses in an area with 25mph. It would make more sense to make it consistent. (2) This evening another deer almost got hit at the intersection of S. Swain Ave. and E. 2nd St. Drivers speed on E. 2nd St. between the stop signs on Jordan and Mitchell. To make it safer, a stop sign should be placed at this intersection. At the very least, a Deer Crossing sign. I've lived here 5 years and it's been a constant concern.

There was construction on Sare Rd. a while ago and there is still a sign posted on our rd. There is no longer any construction so we are hoping the sign can be removed.

Good Morning! I'm writing concerning the intersection of the BLine Trail and Rogers St. I'm so very grateful for the new speed bump and warning signage that was added recently. It has really made a positive impact on the communication between all humans who cross that intersection whether they are in cars, on bikes, or on foot. I'm asking that some of the confusing signage that now exists be addressed and potentially have a blinking yellow crosswalk system added just like what was added at 4th St. and Rogers. When walking on the BLine trail, there are stop signs saying that cross traffic does not stop thus pedestrians assume cars won't stop. That is accurate. On Rogers, their are yellow warning signs that people may be in the crosswalk and most cars want to stop and let people cross. This creates some confusion as each entrance to the intersection people are expecting the others to not stop. Then there are cars who don't stop and just fly over the speed bump which adds to the confusion. I believe the addition of flashing yellow blinking bright lights that are initiated by the pedestrians crossing on the BLine trail would provide much more obvious and direct communication to the cars creating a safer crossing area. Please install the flashing yellow cross walk lighting like you did on 4th and Rogers at this intersection. Gratefully!

I wrote you 4/13/21 case number 175422 and have received no action or contact since. I have written in about this 2 other times over a year. See below. There are end constructions signs all over the area from a project that was completed a year ago. I see them at the entrance to Winlsow Farm Drive, and at apartment houses on Henderson St and other locations. Some one has dropped the ball for a year. Please get the signs removed, they are unsightly. At this point if there is not actions soon, I'll resort to contacting the Mayors office and the newspaper. For the life of me I cant understand that there was not a schedule to pick up the signs.

There has been End Contruction signs at the entrance to Winslow Farms for a year. The project was completed last year. I wrote earlier this year and nothing was done. There are no construction signs on E Winslow Road. Can you get the ugly signs out of our neighborhood please.

You made a mess out of this intersection. The traffic lines are crooked and northbound traffic slows tremendously going through the intersection as right lane cars are going left of center into the passing lane. This was not an issue before the construction that made oversized corner sidewalks. The corner sidewalks are too large for the traffic flow and design.
