Traffic Related Complaints

148 North Dunn Street

Case Date:
8/30/2018

New bicycle sign completely blocks the line of sight for oncoming traffic in both lanes. You need to pull out so far to see around the sign, you are already in the travel lane. Bicycle station sign needs to be turned the other direction parallel to Dunn street, removed, or lowered so that it does not block line of sight.

Blocked Sidewalk

501 West 4th Street

Case Date:
8/27/2018

Trucks and equipment are always blocking this sidewalk. For over the past year and still daily. Some trucks are also parked illegally and are too far out into the street. This needs to stop, it's been going on way too long. And the workers don't seem to care about the residents. I saw a blue truck turn and block the road and start backing up in front of a older man riding his bicycle, and the man was clearing visible, and had to come to a quick stop, even though he had the right of way.

I called over 30 days ago to notify you the city owned trees between our property and the street are blocking the line of sight getting out of our driveway. Since that phone call, there have been 3 near-misses by vehicles I could not see. Our address is 4000 S Jamie Lane. This needs to be taken care of ASAP. Thank you, Kathy Carter

Blocked Sidewalk

505 W 4th ST

Case Date:
6/28/2018

Since this building is no longer a garage, it seems that a full curb should be installed to prevent people from pulling up on the sidewalk. There are constantly cars parked on the sidewalk here (several feet in past the yellow painted curb (which is flattened because it used to be a garage). I asked the tenants to stop, and then today a dumpster showed up on the sidewalk. This is the North side of the "FAR" gallery building at fourth and rogers. Obviously this is frustrating to me but it's probably pretty annoying for the kid in a wheelchair who i see going back and forth to school and having to cross the street to get around.

Excessive Growth

Case Date:

Intersection of Ruby and Circle Drive. This is part of the Allen-Covenanter Greenway for cyclists. The other day I was coming from Circle, ready to turn left on Ruby, when I almost hit a cyclist on Ruby, whom I had not seen because of the high grasses in the yard of the Ruby-Circle Drive corner house. Maybe the 2 bushes closest to the intersection could be cut back, for better visibility for motorists coming from Circle Drive.

Line of Sight

401 S Woodlawn AVE

Case Date:
6/21/2018

Pulling out of this alley either direction onto Woodlawn is a hazard, especially for pedestrians and bicyclists. To the right (on Subway/apartment bldg. side) is shrubbery that completely blocks the view of the sidewalk and street. Approaching it from the alley, we can't see if any vehicles or pedestrians are approaching from the north, traveling south. To the left of the alley is a rental house that has a shrub or tree or some other type of greenery that hangs far enough forward that we can't see what's approaching from the south, traveling north. We must ease our vehicles out into the street in order to see what's coming on Woodlawn in either direction. If we're turning right (to head north) when we ease out into the street for visibility, when we see that it's clear to turn onto Woodlawn it forces the front half of the vehicle to swing into the southbound lane. The shrub to the right of the alley (Subway building) needs to be trimmed drastically or removed altogether for safety's sake since the view of pedestrians and vehicle/bicycle traffic is completely blocked. And the tree/bush on the other side of the rental house to the left needs to be trimmed back enough for visibility. This alley is used daily by many. It contains IU parking spaces and parking for residential rental property, and U.S. Mail vehicles travel it daily for delivery. A colleague reported this to the city last year and nothing came of it.

There are some bushes that need to be trimmed on N. Jackson St. I was almost T-boned today because when you are coming from the stop on 16th St, you can't see the traffic coming up N. Jackson St. (from 17th St.) If you look left and right at the 16th St/N. Jackson St. stop sign, you can barely see either way for oncoming traffic. It was almost a bad accident today with me - I hope no one else is involved in one due to this.
