I was wondering if there can be a cross walk at this intersection. There is no good place to cross Third Street. I have taken my kids across this road many time and know that there are a lot of other people that cross here too. It would be helpful and create a safe/designated place to cross.
Around 9:45am this morning, I walked out of the parking garage at 7th and Morton, out through the lower level of the garage onto 7th Street. As I was walking out onto the sidewalk, a minivan was driving east in the bike lanes! The driver and passenger seemed lost and realized they were in the wrong place. They stopped then crossed over a break in the weird curbing there to get back into a lane of traffic. They had driven from at least Morton halfway up the block before getting out of the bike lane. This is not the first time of numerous times I have witnessed vehicles driving in or parking in the 7th Street bike lane. Is there any way to add signs or markings that make this more obvious? Also, while we are here - on Monday I was downtown driving on Morton headed north and came to a stop at 7th Street. People are really confused by this intersection. A car from the west came to a complete stop. A car from the north on Morton decided to cross 7th in front of the stopped car from the west on Morton. A car coming down the hill from the east on 7th was not intending to stop, but had to due to this car in the intersection from the north on Morton that failed to yield to 7th Street traffic. Although, the randomly stopped car to the west on 7th acting like it was a four-way stop sign certainly made matters go awry. Essentially, the entire 7th Street bike lane system is a mess of poorly designed infrastructure. A friend was telling me about how the bike lane gets blocked at 7th and Woodlawn because of the college students getting on and off buses and the bus riders have to cross the bike lanes and often do not pay any attention. A perfectly good street has multiplied the potential for accidents and injuries with this "upgrade" that got installed.
The boulder that was installed at the corner of South Fess Avenue and the alley behind Bloomingfoods/The Elm has been moved into the sidewalk.
Samira stores the outdoor furniture in front in on the sidewalk.
Assorted trash and junk in yard next to driveway, and in the front yard.
The multi use path along High Street is still not completed around the telephone/electrical pole just south of the corner with Wimbleton Ln. This unfixed part of the path continues to be unsafe 6 months after the rest of the path was completed. Is there a timeline for fixing this?
Tried to include photo but request hung up. 507 W. Dixie Street has entire yard (front and back) crammed with debris. HAND volunteers tried to clean it up but owner and homeless brought in more faster than they could get rid of it. House is fire hazzard due to being filled with debris and only front door usable. No other exit usable. Rats have been seen on property. Owner is Al Hines who is on psycho drugs for Schitsaphrena. this apears to be situation of Adult Protective Services Thank you
This hulk cul-de-sac has trash not in receptacles at the side and behind many of the properties. There are junk cars parked on the street. This has been an ongoing problem for several years and I'd like the property owners to be cited as an effort to clean this area up.
This intersection is ideal for a roundabout (Smith and East Moores)
Large brush pile blocking sidewalk since last summer
