Traffic Suggestions
3210 E 10th ST

This intersection needs a left turn only lane for cars turning off of 10th St. North onto Range Road. Sometimes cars in the lane for going straight swerve into the right lane to get around cars waiting to turn left even though visibility for this is poor and could confuse drivers turning right onto 10th St. from Pete Ellis. Just park in the post office parking lot and observe this intersection around 5 - 6 pm on a weekday and you can see for yourself. A left turn lane would greatly reduce accidents at this intersection.
Potholes, Other Street Repair

The pavement which used to be a through street years ago and is now a city-maintained alley needs to have its potholes filled. The parking lot behind Dr. Linda Figen's office at 413 Howe is owned by Dr. Figen and that lot is adjacent to the southern extent of the alley. It is the alley portion which is city-maintained which needs the attention. Area residents have confirmed with the city that this alley is city maintained when repairs are needed. Several potholes are deep and pose a hazard to vehicles using the alley to access Dr. Figen's business or the parking area for her neighbor to the east.

(Not really "street repair" but I couldn't find the right category):
The eastbound Stop sign on Maxwell @ Highland, in Elm Heights, is OFTEN ignored.
I have seen cars race right through it without even the pretense of slowing down. On foot, I have jumped out behind the car as it sped on, waving my hands and shouting "STOP SIGN!!", and once a driver waved an acknowledgment. Another time, driving north on Highland, I turned and followed the offender, honking and blinking my lights hoping s/he would notice that someone had noticed and be alert next time.
The Stop sign is quite visible, not obscured by overhanging trees, so I am stumped. But I wonder if it could be moved closer to the road, enlarged, painted (the post too) a more neon/catchy red, and/or moved to the CENTER of the intersection (tricky for the snowplows, I know), and/or a "Stop-sign alert" sign added well before, or maybe it could be removed altogether with appropriate alerts posted for the north/south drivers, which might be safer than assuming people will stop. This is a potentially lethal situation for drivers, bikers, and walkers in a very pedestrian-heavy neighborhood. Thanks.

On the southeast corner of the intersection. on the side of the pole facing the courthouse, there are 2 bare wires exposed. My brother and I noticed it last night (12/23/2014) around 6pm. This is on the traffic signal green post. Looks dangerous!

There are three potholes on Romans Way three houses south of Brighton Crest. In addition, a stop/street sign has been knocked over at the intersection of S. Smith Road and Fenbrook on the northeast corner. The sign is laying on the ground. It needs a new post.

See attached picture of Stop Sign erected on SE corner of 17th and Woodlawn. My concern is that by mounting other signs on the same post as this stop sign, motorists may be distracted from the stop sign and fail to obey it.

The street sign for Southdowns Dr at the intersection of E Southdowns and High Street has been missing for a couple of months. Street signs for both E Southdowns and Circle Drive are also missing where those two streets intersect. (A related problem with those signs: Due to trees on the property where the sign post is located, the signs cannot easily be seen in the winter and, at certain vantage points, can't be seen at all when leaves are on the trees.) I'd appreciate your help with these matters. Thank you!
