Traffic backups on 17th have been really bad recently. The backups start from College/Walnut in both directions. Westbound traffic is sometimes backed up to somewhere between Lincoln & Dunn, and eastbound traffic is sometimes backed up to somewhere between Madison & Maple. This occurs at various times per day, not just at rush hour. Last night at 7:45pm it took me ~10 minutes to get from Grant to College. It also causes problems for drivers turning from College/Walnut onto 17th because the traffic already on 17th St has it gridlocked between College & Walnut. I don't know what has happened recently with construction, detours, light syncing, etc., but it's really bad and wasn't like this last school year.

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.

When I am southbound on S. Williamsburg Drive, next to Arby's at 2813 E. 3rd Street, and am trying to turn onto 3rd Street, it is hard to see clearly to my left for oncoming traffic. There are bushes and yard debris piled onto the raised area next to 3rd street that forces me to pull dangerously far onto 3rd street to be sure no traffic is coming. Can you clean up that sight line? If so, thank you SO much! I am there often as are more and more drivers.

The street light is malfunctioning. It is a free color and doesn’t provide the light necessary to illuminate the intersection, leaving it extremely dark.

117 S. Heritage Rd. This picture shows how the traffic jammed at the conner where the vehicles parked on the street. I am happy to meet the Mayor this morning at Farmers Market and showed her all the pictures I sent to you. Yesterday friends gathered discuss this hazardous situation at my driveway, we saw some garden workers carrying their tools walking from Morningside toward 3rd street to work. Why are you doing this? We don’t want park our pickup truck and trailer at Heritage to block the traffic. What a consideration! Even garden workers have the sense of responsibility. The city officers didn’t prepared ahead of time to prevent the dangerous situation, ignored the fact there ought to be heavy traffic on Heritage Rd. Even all the companies saying there’s no Detour sign, City didn’t direct drivers to use Heritage Rd. This is intentionally created a hazardous situation for all the residents in the city. The Mayor promised to look into the case. But on the safe side I am going to contact my lawyer, in case God blinks his eyes, some tthing terrible happens.

People have been using this walking trail as a road using cars, trucks, and motorized scooters. Driving cars on this path is unacceptable. There was once a cable at the top stopping people from driving but it has been cut. Please put a metal post at the beginning and end of this path preventing vehicles before someone gets injured.

The striping separating the eastbound lane of W Dodds St from the westbound lane/S College merge lane is always gone. This creates visual confusion. Many drivers going east drive in the middle of the road because it appears unstriped. Then, drivers coming southbound from S College don't realize that they have a small width to turn into, causing a severe collision hazard. I use this junction to leave my neighborhood, and 80% of the time, someone is flying down south on S College and coming far too close to my vehicle at speed. This could be fixed with a small, highly visible *physical barrier*, perhaps of concrete or rubber. I have not once seen the painted stripe at this location since it apparently wears off so fast.

A couple of trees fell in the woods that border my property in between 3897 S Claybridge anda the assisted living facility. The house is rented and I don’t know the owners. One of the trees is blocking the sidewalk. Yesterday, I witnessed a mom with a little kid on a trike going into the street to try to get around it with a vehicle having to swerve to not hit them. I am concerned because there are a lot of folks who use the sidewalk and a high level of traffic, which increases the odds of an accident.
