Traffic Suggestions

411 S Woodscrest DR

Case Date:
1/11/2014

Today I was at the intersection of Woodscrest and E Third, and the signal light was blinking red for north-south traffic and yellow for east-west traffic. I was traveling north on Woodscrest. From this side if the intersection, it is virtually impossible to tell (in daylight) that the traffic on Third has a blinking yellow -- meaning they DO NOT have to stop. From Woodscrest, with a blinking red, it could easily be misinterpreted as a 4-way stop! In addition, as I sat there waiting for an opportunity to turn left, I watched several cars on Third stop as if they did have a red blinker. This happened sometimes in only one lane, while someone else zoomed by in the other lane. Or traffic would stop heading east, but the cars heading west just drove on through. I just waited, knowing the drivers on Third had no obligation to stop. Then a car came up behind me and honked at me several times because I didn't go into the intersection. In fact, when I finally decided just to turn right and then circle back, I saw the car behind me just pull out in front of a car that was, rightfully, driving through heading west. I have often discussed with my husband the stupidity of having a traffic signal that requires the driver to be able to know what the OTHER traffic lane's signal is, rather than just seeing and obeying his OWN signal. The result is that the driver on the red side could, and often does, assume that the driver on the other road will stop. What other traffic sign/signal/light requires a driver to see what SOME OTHER DRIVER is supposed to do? I'll answer that -- none! But enough of my rant -- in this location, it is not really possible to tell what the other signal says. At least during daylight hours, if the signal isn't working, you should probably make it default to red blinking in both directions. Thanks, Jeannette Smedberg

Street Snow Removal

2125 E Melville CIR

Case Date:
1/6/2014

Early morning on Monday 1/6/14 a city snow plow somehow got his blade extended past the curb at the front of my property and plowed up as much as 30 to 40 SF of sod from the area between the back of the curb and the sidewalk. I suppose legally this area is city ROW, but it will still need to be repaired come next spring. Thank you in advance for your help.

Inaccessible Parking

917 W Cardinal CT

Case Date:
1/5/2014

There is a parking space on Cardinal Ct next to #921 that I use when I can't get in our driveway (I have a disability), but the snow plows have been piling the snow there. It also creates an obstacle for the mailman. Another place the snow got piled in the last storm was in front of our and our other neighbor's mailboxes, so that our mailman had to get out and climb over the mound of snow to deliver our mail, for a week or two after the last snow storm. I hate to complain, especially when there's a storm and a lot of extra work to do, but this seems dangerous for him. We live on a culdesac so there are other places the snow could be piled instead of these two spots, which would help us and our mailman greatly. Thank you for all you do!

Street Snow Removal

3404 E Brookstone CT

Case Date:
1/5/2014

Please plow and salt Brookstone Court to the back of the court. The back is located between 3400 and 3404 E. Brookstone Court. I attached a photo highlighting the area in blue that is currently left unsalted and unplowed. When this area isn't treated, the tire-packed snow ices up for several days. I checked neighboring courts (such as Kings, Dale, Taylor, and Chaudion) and found them completely clear while Brookstone was 2/3 snow & ice covered. I only expect a path to the back of the court, so please make sure driver follows a path similar to the red arrow in the photo to the back of the court. Thanks!

Street Lights

424 S Fess AVE

Case Date:
12/1/2013

At llam this morning, as I crossed Atwater at Fess, I noticed that all of the street lights both east and west of Fess on Atwater were on. The weather had been sunny all day, so if there are light detectors on the street lights, they are not working. If they are timed, then the timers are not working.

The street light across Rock Creek Drive from the entrance to S. Childs Court has burned out. We would really appreciate it if that can be replaced quickly - otherwise, Childs Court is totally dark.
