This is following up on a previous complaint. I am using a separate filing because I could not figure out how to reply to the last one. The traffic patterns at the intersection of 10th and Range Rd facilitate dangerous maneuvers by motorists, which put at risk other motorists and pedestrians. There are two lane options on 10th going east and west: right turn only or straight/left turn only. The light is only indicates 'Go' and there are no arrow lights. When a motorist wants to turn left coming from either direction on 10th, it blocks all straight bound traffic. Right turns are much rarer at this intersection, so the right turn only lane is completely open. Some motorists choose to use this lane to go straight through the intersection and blow through nearly hitting turning vehicles that are patiently waiting their turn to go. Backed up traffic creates a blind spot for the left turning vehicle and they often do not see the oncoming vehicle attempting to go straight in the right only lane. Every day there are close encounters. To make matters more difficult, the bus stop is immediately adjacent to this intersection on both sides of 10th, causing even more close encounters. This is a high traffic intersection at all times of the day, but particularly in the morning and evening during rush hours.
Across the street from our house, there is street parking, but there is a lot of broken glass. Not only is it a safety hazard for people walking/crossing the street, but there is definitely enough glass to cause popped tires. If it can get swept/cleaned up soon, that would be amazing.
The 3 Alleys between S Madison's dead end (North of Grimes), connecting to Rogers St need potholes filled.
A previously repaired pothole at that intersection is beginning to sink.
E First near the intersection with Highland. Water valve that could use a little asphalt to smooth it out?
At the corner of Patterson and Rogers the left turn arrow when heading east always activates even if no cars are there trying to turn north onto Rogers. This ends up unnecessarily delaying people heading west on Patterson.
Extremely dangerous intersection for all transportation types. Even without the current roadwork on this corner, there are close calls every single day. This needs a light or diversion of pedestrians.
I live at 2903 E. Daniel St. and yesterday I noticed a 2 to 3 inch wide tar strip running from my neighbors driveway to mine and a smaller strip on the recently paved street in front of my house. I first thought it was some sort of vandalism, but noticed it in several places along Daniel and on Forrester. I have no idea what purpose these tar strips serve as the road is in perfect condition. (no cracks that I can see) Just curious what problem this sticky solution was intended to solve. Thanks, Mike
Please fix the signal at Atwater and Woodlawn. The white "hand" is not working; it stays solid red even when the light turns green, and then it starts to flash and count down at around six seconds. A lot of people walk across Atwater, not just at the light, and not being able to tell where in the countdown the signal is could be dangerous. It's especially dangerous if you're on the east side of the signal (where you can't see the signal lights themselves) and look west toward the traffic. If you're counting on the walk-don't walk sign to let you know if it's safe to cross away from the light, you will see a solid red "hand" even when the drivers have the green light on their side.
