Speed bumps are too large to accommodate 25 mph which is the posted speed limit
Speed bumps are too large to accommodate 25 mph which is the posted speed limit
The bump out curbs are a hazard to vehicles because they are not well marked in advance of approach. Vehicles are flattening tires and could cause a hazard to pedestrians from loss of control of the vehicle.
There is a Detour sign across from Griffin Realty pointing north on College Ave. College Ave is one-way street going south. I have kept a spreadsheet of cars going the wrong way for several years. The number has increased tremendously during the month of August 2024. January - July 2024 I witnessed 18 vehicles driving the wrong way. In August there have been 25 vehicles driving the wrong way. I'm only at the office Monday-Friday from about 11:00 am to about 5:00 pm - so there are probably many more. It seems to me that something should be done about this. Thanks, Rachel LaGrange
Prior to the recent construction at this intersection, the storm sewer drains on both sides of Fess just north of 12th Street were covered with thick, fibrous mats, ostensibly to prevent gravel from washing down there during the project. Now that the construction is complete, should those mats now be removed?
Some utility company cut a hole in the asphalt here and then did an abysmal job of filling it in
Extra large dumpster encroaching on alley, SE corner of property.
Plant growth along front of property is hindering pedestrian traffic on sidewalk.
This summer the city installed speed cushions and bump-outs in Park Ridge East along Morningside Drive. Native trees and shrubs were planted as part of this greenway improvement project. We experienced what seems to have been vandalism last night—the dogwood tree that the city installed in the traffic bump-out in front of our house was snapped off. It doesn’t appear to be the type of damage a deer would have caused (photo attached) which would be the only other explanation. Will the city be replacing this tree?
New BRU burger building has multiple downspouts that drain directly onto the Grant Street sidewalk. I don't believe this is allowed with new construction?
Sidewalk blocked. This is an ADA issue.
