Airport road snow plowing and salting-yesterday that is on feb 26 2013 Airport road had many accidents.All between 2:30and 3:30pm.snow started falling after noon but no salt truck or plower came on the road.Iwould like to know why ? I saw trucks after the snow stopped.I am writing this because it was very personal to our family.One car came right into side of our garage .you can see the picture on the Pantagraph.we live in this house for more than 10 years now.i noticed that snow trucks and powers give last priority to Airport road and the streets off the road. As you know there is Normal community high school on Raab road and most of the students and their parents and Unit5 buses use the Airport road.It should be your first priority to salt and plow Airport road as soon as snow starts to accumulate.Please see that you salt and plow before and during the end of the school that is 2:30 pm.I think those accidents could be avoided if your department monitored the condition of the road better.

This is a suggestion for the intersection where Range Rd and Pete Ellis Drive intersect 10th street. I would like to suggest that a “no right on red” sign be put up for traffic traveling west bound on 10th street. If I am heading south on Range Rd and want to turn (left) west onto 10th street I am required to stop well in advance of the intersection because the radius allowed for cars turning onto Range Rd from 10th street (right) is affected by the concrete wall on the northeast corner of the intersection. If I have a green light on Range Rd and I am turning left onto 10th and a car turns right on red from west bound 10th street onto Range Rd I could possibly have a head-on collision. The reason I mention this is because I have nearly been hit head-on twice in the past month. I don’t think cars turning onto Range Rd think about how much room they need to clear the turn and therefore need to cut into the Range Rd left turn lane. Cars who are traveling on Range Rd and are making a left turn aren’t expecting a car to turn into them from 10th street.

I would like to suggest increased reckless driving enforcement for stopping to drop off and pick up passengers on 3rd St, and College ave, and anywhere else really. I have seen and been involved several close calls from unexpected non-signaled stops for passengers in non-commercial vehicles not at intersections or waysides.

The street lights at the intersection of High Street and Covenanter have not been working properly for at least a month. While driving in the morning, it is extremely dark and feels unsafe.

Hello, I live two doors down from the Banneker center. I have a request that the city, park the van either on the side street next to the center or in front of the center...I realize this is city parking and they have a right to park there. The staff park the van in front of my house and leave it there all weekend and they usually park the van directly in front of mine and my neighbor's house, while they have plenty of room on the west side of the building to park. Or possibly at the girls Club. They usually leave the van there all weekend . They usually park at at least 3 feet from the end of the yellow line. We can normally park three cars there. This effectively cuts off any accessible parking in front of my house and my neighbor's house. I don't mind the extra parking for the kids activities all during the week but this is the staff van. I know this is perfectly legal but on in the interest of good neighborhood relations I am making this request.
thank you,
