(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.
Lots of deer cross from behind the Hoosier Acres subdivision over Clarizz Blvd to the other side. We have noticed this for years. The students drive very fast, many times blowing through the stop sign at Buick Cadillac and Clarizz Blvd. A deer crossing sign would help people be more aware. Another deer was hit just a few days ago at this same location.
Street light out on the corner of Abby Lane and Camby Lane in the Bentley Court neighborhood, off of Winslow.
Road (asphalt) is cracked from one side to another - all of its width, right in front of 1630 S Ira St. Please fix/pave/take corrective measures for crack not to become worse.
The alley way behind Mother Hubbard's Cupboard (1100 W Aleen St) needs gravel. Traction is limited right now, but we need to be able to have trucks move through without getting stuck. Thank You
Small crater in the road. West side of Rogers (southbound lane) just north of Lois Lane. You'll know it when you hit it or see it. Large hole that keep growing. Not sure if this is City or County, just hoping someone can patch it. Thanks!
Street light on S. Walnut across from West Allen is out
ALL street lights on Patterson between Allen and Rogers are out. I've reported this before a month ago.
I believe that the intersection of Hunter and Fess (one block North of the new Bloomingfoods store) should be changed from a 2 way stop to a 4 way stop. When travelling west on Hunter, it is very difficult to see any traffic coming up Fess (north bound) until you are completely in the street. This traffic on Fess does not stop today, while Hunter does stop. With the significant number of cars normally parked on Fess, it is very difficult to see oncoming traffic until you are nearly into the oncoming traffic lane. With the new Bloomingfoods, there seems to be a growing amount of traffic using Fess in this area. I regular use Hunter on my bicycle, and this intersection is the most dangerous one on Hunter, and would benefit from being converted to a 4 way stop.
