Fairview school zone flashing lights not flashing (photo near 9th and rogers). Photo 3:28p today. Due to staggered times for rona mitigation, school dropoff at fairview elem is now nominally 8:35-8:55, and pickup is 3:20-3:40. Additionally, light should flash 15 minutes after pickup and 15 minutes before drop off because parents walking from/to school without their students still typically have student-siblings with them. Also, light should flash whenever there is an afterschool activity. I'm real disappointed this extremely ineffective-by-design approach was chosen instead of appropriately-engineered curb bumpouts! But if this is the bed we made, can we at least getsomeone lying in it when my kids are there.
Please check timing of lights. WB 17th gets backed up and NB Walnut ends up having problems. meanwhile SB College is clear of all cars. Please extend green for WB 17th.
1017 E. First. Yew and Vines obstruct sidewalk at front walkway
RRFB at allen&walnut doesn't work - northbound traffic does not yield. Went through twice on bike at about 9:30-10AM today (June 18), activated the beacon, and both times, SB traffic yielded and NB did not *at all*. I did not investigate the flawed design - that's planning&transportation's job.
Just west of Hunter ave and Jordan ave the southside sidewalk is blocked due to overgrowth.
NE corner of 17th&dunn. My kids are into riddle humor so maybe you'll enjoy this one: Q. What kind of licensed engineer puts a shared path to the right of a dedicated right turn lane where drivers don't even stop for a red light? A. The kind that ignores the MUTCD. Hahahahaha that's even funnier than the time my 4yo gave a long set up forthe punchline "buttcrack". But in all seriousness, the SE corner doesn't have a sidewalk connection for east/west peds and there are no painted crosswalks either. The MUTCD, bro, bible or nah?
