My street does not have a proper street sign. Since it is a small culdisac branching off a main road with several residences. It seems like this could be an issue for ambulance/emergency workers who need to find our area. The street is West Cascade Ave. off of Gourley Pike.
I suggest posting "no turn on red" for west bound traffic turning onto Range Road. Because of the cement barrier and narrowness of the road I have twice had cars interfere with and almost run into me as I try to make a left turn onto 10th St. on the green light.
Some signage or road surface markings would be useful at the intersection of 10th St and Pete Ellis/N. Range Road. The specific problem is when you're heading north. Pete Ellis has basically two lanes at the light. I'm not sure if there are any lane markings, but that's how everyone treats it. However there is confusion on what the lanes are there for. Most people treat the left lane as forward/turn-left, but some think the right lane is forward/turn-right. This becomes a problem when drivers in both lanes decide to go forward onto North Range Road, which has just two lanes. Because Range Road now has an outlet, it has seen more use in recent years, which is sure to increase even more when the hospital goes in. As such, I've either had or witnessed numerous close calls as people nearly sideswipe each other trying to go straight. It would be nice if there was signage indicating specifically what the lanes are there for. My suggestion is the left lane should be forward-left turn and the right be right turn only. Either that or some lane markings and arrows on the pavement itself.
The traffic light here lacks left turn signals, which leads to people getting stuck in line behind people turning left, this problem exists for people going both directions. Because of the volume of traffic, it can take a cycle of 3 or more lights before turning left is possible. What happens then, is that people are passing the cars on the right, on the median or in the intersection, to get through the light. I have seen several near accidents here. Every morning and afternoon, you can see people doing this. It is an hourly occurrence and often involves several vehicles. It is an accident in the making.
People have been camping in the shelter houses at 9th St. Park for several weeks, if not months. I've been reluctant to officially report it but over the last week it's become a bit more permanent. And also a bit unruly.
Prius parked in yellow zone on Northwest corner of W 7th and Maple. Has been parked there all day. Creating a sightline issue for cars pulling into intersection Southbound on Maple.
light is broken...cycles on and off over and over. this is a main thoroughfare--unsafe and annoying.
This is in regards to the 11/21/16 report I made. REQUEST # 11687264 Outdoor light located at 800 W Kirkwood Ave. has still not been repaired. It is in the same condition it was this fall. The light comes on for maybe 2 minutes at a time, then goes out for 10 minutes and starts the cycle again...first it flickers in an amber color and it at its full brightness for again, about 2 minutes. This is a main road in town and serves many people on foot. It is as unsafe as it is annoying. Please fix asap. Thank you!
ATTENTION: CHRISTINA SMITH / CASE# 157685 (I received a notice of message delivery failure when I tried to reply to you email so I hope this reaches you) Hi Christina, Thank you for responding. The light is directly out front of the blue with limestone house/ former location of Found (consignment/antique store), north side of Kirkwood at 800 W Kirkwood Ave, west corner of N Maple St....catty corner across the street from Uel Zing coffeehouse. I hope this helps and the light is fixed asap! Thanks again, Ivy Siøsi
