Noticed the installation of speed monitoring bands the other day at Morningside and Sheffield. Can you explain the purpose? Curious as recent traffic calming was installed so not sure if it is monitoring for improvements, considering some alterations, or a different purpose. Thank you. Greenway improvements have been helpful in whole.
9:10pm and there is no way to see gray curbs sticking out into the road until your almost in top of them. Please paint them yellow.
Sidewalk crumbling, trip hazard, needs repair -- Southside of 800 bock on 2nd btw Park & Woodlawn
On 3 recent occasions, I have seen cars going south on N Forrest Ave blow through the intersection at E Cottage Grove Ave (at the SE corner of Luddy Hall) without even slowing down for the stop sign. The first 2 times I saw it, I just chalked it up to new student drivers but on the 3 time I took a closer look at the intersection and think I see the problem. There is a tree in front of the stop sign that totally obscures the view of the stop sign until you are basically right at the intersection. See that attached picture that I took standing in the middle of the traffic lane that shows the exact view the driver sees. By the time they see the stop sign it is way too late to stop. I'm not sure what the best fix is but trimming the tree seems like a simple option. There is a huge amount of foot traffic in that area during the school year and I would hate to see someone hurt at this intersection. Thanks!
Multiple street signs and a fire hydrant were defaced with spray paint between 06-07 September. This is unusual behavior for the neighborhood.
The curb at the corner of Landmark and Arch Haven is very steep, about 3 inches of rise at an angle probably close to 70°. Landmark Ave has many medical facilities and this path is the one people would travel on between Adams and 3rd St where transit vehicles provide access. It should be smoothed out to provide a safer ramp for people with mobility devices and unsure footing.
Along East 4th Street in front of the delicious restaurant Dat's. There are many bricks that could pose a danger to pedestrians.
My name is Nick Pejeau, and I'm an IU Health employee representing our Trauma Services Community Outreach program, Stepping On. The program seeks to reduce fall risks for elderly adults. One of our class participants reported concerns for fall hazards due to unearthing and uneven sidewalks in their neighborhood where they walk to the grocery. They did not give me an exact location but said, "The first one is on Kinser Pike, somewhere between N Skyline Dr and W Parrish Rd., I think. The second one, the one with cane for scale, is on W Parrish Rd. between Kinser Pike and Kroger." I've attached the picture they submitted to me. Thank you.
Last week my grandmother, Linda Gast, was walking near the Crescent Park Condos on John Hinkle Place across from the post office. She tripped on uneven sidewalk and fell and broke her arm. This break required an ED visit and surgery that included a metal plate and several screws. This sidewalk is near Bell Trace, where she lives, and a lot of older people are using the sidewalks in this area. We would really like to see some attention given to this sidewalk in order to prevent others from being injured.
The Audio Pedestrian Signals at this intersection aren't working. I got this complain from someone who is blind who said "When crossing from the west moving east across walnut, it’s a bit dangerous because as a blind person, I am listening for my parallel traffic to move when that traffic signal activates the traffic to move, and especially on that left hand turn onto Walnut, the pedestrian signal is not activated as the parallel traffic is… The pedestrian signal seems to be delayed… That’s dangerous, especially if the audible signal is not working or loud enough to be heard… When I hear that parallel traffic move I take that as my signal to cross the street…" We checked them out and we don't hear audio, except a weak "wait" at the southwest corner.
