Missing street sign: E RUBY LANE AT MITCHELL'S INTERSECTION. HAS BEEN MISSING FOR OVER A YEAR. WAS REPORTED BY NEIGHBOR SOME TIME AGO. I AM LOCATED AT 1601 E RUBY. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER.
The left turn lane at the intersection of northbound S Sare Rd with E Cathcart St (i.e. a left turn into Renwick division) currently lacks the appropriate pavement marking to indicate that this is a left turn lane. We have witnessed numerous cars proceeding northbound thru this turn lane (and many near accidents). Please install appropriate pavement markings as appear on all of the other turn lanes off of Sare Road. I believe this turn lane marking was missed during last summer's project to re-pave Sare Road. Many thanks for addressing this safety issue.
Newly erected "NO PARKING ANY TIME" signs in front of my building. I have permission from the land owner to park along the front curb. I would like the signs removed as not to confuse someone with writing me a ticket.
I was in the left hand lane on Walnut (going north) and a truck was next to me in the right hand lane. He sped up and slowed down with traffic so I was not in his blind spot. He knew that I was there. At the 3rd street intersection where the lanes do the "jog" the truck did not follow the lane markings. He instead went straight and "merged" into my lane, cutting me off. He did not have a turn signal on. I had to slam on my breaks in order to advoid an accident. This type of thing has happened to me many times at this intersection. The cars do not follow the lane markings! Can you repaint the markings or do something about this intersection. If you would just sit there and watch it in the mornings you would see what I mean.
One way sign at the corner of Karen St. and Southdowns Ave. has been twisted to indicate that Karen is one-way rather than Southdowns Ave
All Stop signs and speed limit signs on Henderson St., from Miller Dr. to 1st Street seem to be invisible because no one ever heeds them. I would think Police presence would help, but perhaps public works could do something to convince motorists that this is not a major, high speed artery. We have a school, a park, and many pedestrians. Yesterday (4/8/13) I saw a car, traveling 40-50 mph, narrowly miss a college student at the bus stop by Blacks Lumber. Also two children have been hit in the Templeton School zone this year. This is a problem.
Since the traffic light on 2nd (Bloomfield) and Oakdale Square has been changed it has been creating quite the backup for cars attempting to turn onto Bloomfield. It appears that the lights are now timed to 37, which means that cars driving on Bloomfield speed through the Oakdale square light going much faster than 40. Further, it is now common to see more than 7 cars waiting to turn left onto Bloomfield from Oakdale drive. This creates a backup for those turning left and turning right. The old timing pattern worked sufficiently in that it slowed down the traffic on Bloomfield which regularly goes faster than 40, and it was easier to get on the road from Oakdale. Please consider untying that light to the 37 intersection.
There's something else going on in the neighborhood. The Indiana RR trestle on Adams Street is hit about twice a week. A RR truck took a look at it a few days ago. Rebar is exposed again, they will have to fix it. A neighbor says the trestle is hit about twice a week. I saw a semi with a 40-foot trailer turn around at 6th Street and Adams. Closing Vernal Pike is squeezing traffic, and maps don't help. How about a "No Trucks" and "Low clearance ahead" signs at 5th and Adams?
Third Street between Woodlawn and Indiana intersection is a problem. It narrows to one lane near Indiana, but the traffic at the light at Woodlawn does not know it will narrow. This results in traffic tie ups and unsafe manouvering to get a better spot in line. Please move the warnings and signs about the single lane closer to the traffic light at Woodlawn, if they can see the problem earlier it will be safer. Someone tried to cut ahead by using the bike lane and sidewalk today.
The one lane road sign really needs to be placed further back on 3rd street. I was just out in front of Rawles Hall and Swain east/west and was almost hit by a car that was trying to go around 2 other cars!!! He did go up on the curb and barely missed a tree that i was standing by. If he had hit that tree his car and the tree would have fell on to me and my friend. There was also an accident earlier this week due to people not knowing they need to go into one lane. Please move the sign or add another sign at the top f the hill so when drivers are at the light at 3rd & Woodlawn they know to start getting over. Thank you! ~Chawnn
