Resident requested a crosswalk be painted for child safety on E Morningside across Sheffield. Asked the neighborhood association to do it but I figure we need to run that by the City first. If that's something you can do or authorize. A street art one would be awesome but normal is fine too. The striping on the crosswalks of N Smith and Morningside is getting a little worn again too.
Can you do something to emphasize the stop signs on N Smith. For biker, pedestrian, and frankly even car safety at that intersection. Was almost just hit turning there by a car on N Smith who didn't understand the rules of the road. Occurs all the time.
Kirby Alley is tagged as a street in the City's GIS system and this appears to be a mistake. It shows up in the City's street centerline product published on the City's data portal. For planning, streets this close to downtown would have sidewalks, but alleys do not. This is also a traffic issue. Having this alley tagged as a street means that Google Maps (shown in image) and other software will give driving directions down the alley, which is usually not intended or desired for pass-through traffic.
The lot just west of the B Line parking lot on W Country Club Dr lets the grass grow without ever mowing it. It's not developed so I can understand why they don't want to mow it, but it is a very busy street and is extremely difficult to see vehicles approaching from the west when exiting if the grass has grown long, as it currently is. Can they be required to follow the grass length restrictions please.
I have noticed that the area around the intersection of W First and Walnut is becoming more and more littered with trash and pieces of clothing. I wonder if Shalom Center could send out some of its clients with a big bag and gloves to pick up trash every morning. It would be a great improvement.
A citizen called to report a concern and wishes to remain anonymous. According to the caller, for two months there has been no construction on the bike path off of Sare Road. There are still signs saying 'sidewalk closed' as well as 'construction ahead' but it appears that the construction has stopped. Lastly, the Spicewood II sign had been taken down and since put back up but the citizen is disappointed there has been no landscaping done and the limestone around the sign was broken.
Can a long term project of connecting a walking path between eastern heights and park ridge east be done for kids to walk to University elementary? Much safer than Smith. Good for environment and neighborhood connections. Would be awesome. Please consider a single connecting sidewalk. The neighborhood associations would be happy to help in any way we can.
There are two large bushes that block visibility of an elementary bus stop. The stop is used primarily by small children, which are completely unseen to cars that will be turning on to the road. There’s also a fire hydrant ensconced by them, making it difficult to see.
Foilage needs cut back from sidewalk across from colonial east apartments
High street sidewalk project looks like absolute horseshit. Kids walk through a half complete construction zone everyday with trash, busted up concrete and rusty rebar laying everywhere. This is completely unacceptable. Finish the project!
