The bike path on the side of Arlington Ave. between 17th and North st. has some very rough sections and pot holes that hold water making navigation difficult and dangerous after a storm.

Is there a timeline estimated for when traffic calming and enhancements will be made for the bike path Morningside Greenway? I believe it was a priority area on a map the other year. Looking forward to it! (and maybe slowing cars down a bit)

1717 S Walnut ST

Case Date:

Are there any plans to put a ramp down from the bike lane down to street level here? This is the newish bike lane that runs behind Black Lumber, and should lead into the Switchyard Park. At the Walnut St crossing there is still a curb here, making the transition to the road difficult for bikes.

1107 N Madison ST

Case Date:

We don’t have any crosswalks for several blocks in either direction, and there are many families with young children who live in the immediate vicinity. We have a lot of traffic coming north off the bridge that are driving way too fast, and it’s extremely dangerous to cross the street here. With talk of adding curbs and repairing the sidewalk at my property, 1107 N Madison, I suggest putting a crosswalk over Madison st, on the south side of 15th. (Photo above). I regularly witness vehicles, both emergency workers and civilians, driving so fast that It is incredible dangerous to cross the street, even for an adult. A bump up crosswalk, like is being Installed on the new 17th/vernal pike, would go a long way towards slowing vehicles down and making them more aware of their surroundings. Even without a bump out sidewalk, a marked crosswalk is absolutely needed. Please respond to talk more about it!

N Smith bike lanes skinny. Can we get protective barrier? Live close but too unsafe for neighborhood kids to bike to the school. Is sad.

651 W Skyline DR

Case Date:
6/22/2020

There is a walk way from Cascades Addition from near 651 Skyline Drive that goes into the Arlington Elementary School yard. I have tried but never have been able to find out who (school or city) is responsible for it. I think the school has cleared it out every year before school starts. Children from the neighborhood walk to school that way and people walk to Kroger or to the walking path and frisbee golf course at Arlington. Right now it is really overgrown and some people have come racing their bicycles and scooters out of it and almost hit us twice (they were young adults). There used to be posts on it so no one could do that or try to drive on it! Picture is From Skyline Dr. looking up (see cut off post). I think the posts need to be put back up and it definitely needs to be cleared on both sides of path from overgrowth.

Hello. I think our neighborhood is actually putting together a committee as so many people are concerned and keep complaining about speeding traffic on east morningside drive but we had a neighbor suggest a great idea of parking on the street or otherwise narrowing the street to slow down traffic, not just speed bumps. So ideas like https://www.smartcitiesdive.com/ex/sustainablecitiescollective/12-ways-slow-down-traffic-car-oriented-city/262221/. A neighbor suggest lines (or art) could be painted as an option to try. I forget what city it was but they simply painted parallel lines a few feet in from both sides of the road and it slowed traffic. Maybe this is cheaper for the city and can be tried? I hope someone from our neighborhood reaches out more formally soon and gives you all a call. I think we'll be part of the super cool 7-line someday? And guess we'll have something change then probably that hopefully will fix this. Maybe we can get the narrowing lines until then? The street is oddly too good right now, as it's clear and wide and easy to drive fast on! Can we get a random basketball goal and court painted? that would make cars slow down and think twice :) Take back our streets! Pleaes don't forget us. Thank you for making improvements to our safety in our neighborhoods! I drive like many, but there's no reason we can't slow down once we enter our residential neighborhoods.
