Park Ridge neighborhood: Partnered with the traffic calming bumps are stakes with reflectors to bring driver's attention to the speed bumps. Nearly all of the stakes are missing the reflectors or the reflectors are damaged. Some of the pairs of stakes have one of the stakes missing like in front of my house. (A lawn service damaged it and removed it). So please survey and replace the missing reflectors and a couple of the missing stakes. The stakes with no reflectors appear dangerous. Like "Games of Thrones" dangerous. It was odd at the conclusion of the 2022 Morningside repaving, that the new version of traffic calming bumps was installed (thanks), but the stakes were ignored in terms of reflectors. We appreciate your attention on this item.
There are several areas of crumbling sidewalks on South Laurel Ct. in Peppergrass. Many residents need a smooth walking surface due to use of walkers, etc. Dogs get pebbles in their paws, children cannot safely walk on these areas. These areas have been in need of repair for several years.
The traffic light at the intersection of Adams St and Bloomfield Rd/Second St. is improperly adjusted. There is very light traffic from Adams St, but the traffic signal is set as if Adams St had similar traffic as Second St/Bloomfield Rd. This problem causes needless traffic backups on Bloomfield Rd/Second St, resulting in increased pollution from vehicles sitting at the traffic signal when there is no traffic from Adams St. Please send someone to view activity at this location, and adjust the signal so that it changes only when there are vehicles waiting on Adams St.
My neighbors insist on ignoring no parking yellow paint, I’m hoping if it’s redone they will stop crowding my drive (I’m undoubtedly over optimistic). If your staff can’t repaint, I’d be glad to do it myself if you can provide paint or info on where to obtain. Thanks for your help, I appreciate all you do to keep our streets safe!
Sidewalk covered in thick mud and water
Cowden road in Ellettsville is horrible. Potholes everywhere. Patches that have been done are making the road hard to drive or within weeks pothole’s return in same place. Cars are driving all over the roads to avoid them and causing many car problems/nearly wrecks.
I witnessed a truck with a very long bed try to turn right from W 13th to N Maple. The driver chose to plow down the stop sign/street sign in order to make the turn. The stop sign is completely down, across the sidewalk on W 13th at N Maple. Sorry I couldn't get the name of the company.
Two bricks are missing from the decorative sidewalk in front of the Waldron's Walnut St entrance. Can they be replaced? Concerned about a trip hazard.
I was attempting to cross South Landmark Avenue at the crosswalk, to run an errand at Williams Brothers Pharmacy. I pressed the button on the crosswalk to signal my need to cross. The button responded with the usual voice saying "Wait." However, the crosswalk light never came on, so I could not cross. I use a power chair that is not fast enough to cross between traffic, and that is shorter than most cars (so I cannot easily be seen by drivers when crossing). What is normally a 20 minute errand took me 3 hours as I had to search for a place I could cross.
