The fiber optic installation in the neighborhood appears to be over, but they left an orange conduit sticking out of the ground at the NE corner of Wasjington/Cottage Grove intersection.
Not sure if this is against the rules or not, but it should be. There's a Ducatti motorbike that is almost always parked in the front yard of this house.
A few of the street signs at this intersection have been stolen (two blocks directly east is a notorious fraternity living in an apartment complex). There is currently no indication of the street names and also no sign informing drivers that Cottage Grove is one-way west.
The construction at the corner of 11th and Walnut of the new apartment building has left this area of Walnut hazardous and capable in inflicting vehicle damage even when travelling slowing, especially the utility cut across Walnut which has not been filled in to be even with the road surface. This is the same type of problem that existed at 11th and Rogers but is horizontal across the street instead of diagonal across the intersection. The problem at 11th was fixed but this one needs attention ASAP to prevent damage to vehicles and subsequent claims to the city for that damage. There are also breaks and holes and bumps in the pavement at the crest and going down the other side towards 12th street and so on. Thank you for your always prompt and excellent responses to my reports.
On 3 recent occasions, I have seen cars going south on N Forrest Ave blow through the intersection at E Cottage Grove Ave (at the SE corner of Luddy Hall) without even slowing down for the stop sign. The first 2 times I saw it, I just chalked it up to new student drivers but on the 3 time I took a closer look at the intersection and think I see the problem. There is a tree in front of the stop sign that totally obscures the view of the stop sign until you are basically right at the intersection. See that attached picture that I took standing in the middle of the traffic lane that shows the exact view the driver sees. By the time they see the stop sign it is way too late to stop. I'm not sure what the best fix is but trimming the tree seems like a simple option. There is a huge amount of foot traffic in that area during the school year and I would hate to see someone hurt at this intersection. Thanks!
Parents and staff have shared that you cannot see westward from the SW corner of Fess and Grimes due to overgrown bushes and trees
