Today around 2:00 PM, the railroad signal was on, but the signal for eastbound traffic on 10th street never switched to green. Westbound traffic on 10th St got the green light and traffic turning left from eastbound 10th St got a green light, but traffic going straight east on 10th St never got a green light. I had to turn left onto the bypass to get out of there. Others just went through the red light.
Pedestrian crossing button on the north side of 17th St and the bypass doesn't work. It lights up when you press it, but then immediately goes out. No "wait" sound either.
Because of the shadow from the concrete wall, the sun can't melt the snow on the multi-use path. This turns to ice and is too chunky to ride through.
South facing "WALK" light is out
Traffic signal for eastbound traffic on 17th is hung up in the power/telecom overhead cables. Could damage the cables. Also makes it harder to see the light since its angled down.
HAWK crosswalk at 19th and Dunn continuously flashing red
Overgrowth along both sides of the Polly Grimshaw Trail.
The trees and bushes along schacht road need trimmed they are hanging over into the road and with the added traffic on this road because of Harrells closing accidents are sure to happen I've been run off the road twice
The traffic signals at 3rd & Bypass / College Mall Rd could use some reprogramming. Westbound traffic turning south onto College Mall gets backed up at the signal just to the south, to the extent that vehicles are blocking the intersection waiting to turn left on red. Today it was bad enough that eastbound traffic was unable to proceed through an entire cycle. Not one single vehicle got through. Also, some vehicles clearly enter on yellow (or even on red) to turn left, even though the driver can easily see that he will be unable to proceed through the intersection before the signal goes red. A camera to catch such violations would be great.
