4098 East 10th Street

Case Date:
1/10/2018

I was traveling east on 10th St. and got into the right-hand turn lane (with turn signal on) to turn right/south on Smith Road. As I turned right, a car facing north on Smith Road turned left to head west on 10th St. and did not see an oncoming car and the eastbound car on 10th street had to brake quickly to avoid an accident...stopping within a few feet of the turning car. With the new traffic light at the Post Office intersection on 10th st, GPS is routing more people east/west on 10th street to/from Smith Rd and more locals are also using this route. This is turning an already dangerous intersection more dangerous. Turning left off smith onto 10th street requires timing to avoid a car coming east around the curve on east 10th street...and the same for turning left onto Smith off 10th street. Please consider a stop light at this intersection. Thank You.

Traffic Signals

Hey Neil, Thanks a lot! It's heartwarming that you're looking into it, aging equipment not withstanding. Re: Kirkwood/Walnut...if you're in front of the Book Corner, or across from it in front of the Courthouse trying to get to the Book Corner corner, and it's you've just this second gotten the green pedestrian sign, you will not make it across during the green hand (or whatever the symbol is). Never. I'm really healthy and I can't get across before the pedestrian sign changes and opens up the car traffic. Turning cars are not inclined to watch pedestrians, they're distracted by oncoming traffic and timing their own turns. Thus, squashed pedestrian. Kind of you to take an interest, Neil. Happy New Year! Lisa Horwitz (IT wouldn't let me simply reply to your email. Did you know that?)

Street Lights

Case Date:
12/15/2017

Light at S College Mall Road and 2nd creates very bad backups as clogs E 3rd and S College Mall left turn folks southbound from E 3rd. Watch during evening rushhour. Jams reliably stopping Eastbound East 3rd street from crossing S. College. Problem is not with that light but with City light at E 2nd and College creating jam on S College Mall between 2nd and 3rd. Somehow more traffic needs to get through Southbound on E 2nd during left turn Cycle for southbound left turners on E 3rd.

To: Mayor Hamilton, if you could please look at ureport case #161401 from october 3. now it is 2 months later & that crosswalk button at a very busy intersection (west 3rd st & franklin) still isn't fixed. i see mr. cibor's note there from oct.18 but even if he has to coordinate with another agency, it still shouldn't take this long. i am afraid i am going to get hit by a big truck. i cannot walk very fast because of medical problems. also, there will be snow & ice soon, making crossing there even more difficult.

"Head start" for pedestrians. Use the NYC trick, give walkers a 7 second head start before turning the light green. This intersection, the one on the bypass and 10th, and the Kirkwood Walnut crosswalk are just 3 places drivers ignore pedestrians as they only look at cars so they can make right turns. Please. They're going to run us over. Look at Saturdays NYtimes.

What used to be a 10 minute drive to work now takes close to 35. Why? Construction on Tapp, 37, Rodgers, Walnut, 10th Street, Dunn, Fee, and Gordon Pike closed. There is literally not any route left to get to work. Everyone on the south side is forced to sit in traffic for two to three times the normal length due to terrible planning by the city in the closing of streets and construction that has effectivity shut down part of the city and prevent us from going anywhere or doing anything.

The crosswalk on Henderson near Templeton school between Driscoll and Wilson continues to be dangerous. We use it daily to and from school with many other kids and routinely have close calls with cars speeding through. I think part of this is foliage blocking the flashers, but would like to also suggest pedestrian flags be provided on both sides of the street. We've used them living in other towns and they are really great. Here's a website that explains their use in another city http://www.kirklandwa.gov/depart/Public_Works/Transportation_and_Traffic/Pedestrian_Flags_-_FAQs.htm
