Backups on N. Smith continue for left turners. Particular concern that the State is not putting in a signal at 10th and Smith with new eastside developments. Left turners from N. Smith already yield instead of stop, creating dangers, because of inability to frankly stop due to small gaps in traffic. A signal or other traffic measure for safe left turns from N. Smith is needed. People will be using that gateway to get to the new hospital site. Same with buses. May be State intersection but City needs to advocate appropriately. Plenty of capacity exists on 10th, IF you can get onto it. Correct this danger before needless deaths occur.

Euclid / Second north side right of way next to sidewalk w 3-4 foot tall plants that make impossible AND dangerous to attempt left turn left heading east on to 2nd St. Please cut down this hazard before someone gets injured or killed. It’s challenging enough

At 7th/Morton, the “new traffic pattern” sign is *after* the intersection. It should be located *before* the intersection to alert folks that cross-traffic no longer stops.

The property at 708 S Adams St. is in a very run-down condition and it is at times being used by homeless people and they have been caught carrying property out of the house. The police have been called on these issues. However, our church Adams St. Chapel own's the propertiy connecting with this house at 712 S. Adams St. and are concerned for our pastorial family who have recently moved in that there could be issues with people living in and coming and going in the 708 residence. We would like to get it boarded up or condemed so that it is off limits to anyone and we would feel much safer. Please let us know if anything can be done to get this place condemed as unfit for anyone to live in. The lady who lived in it was admitted to Golden Living Nursing Home and her name is Margret Lamb. I don't believe she owns the property but maybe she could tell us who does and they can be notified about the current problem. Thank you. We will be waiting to hear from you. Mrs. B. White

On behalf of myself and concerned neighbors, we request the inclusion of a stop sign at High St. and Greenbriar Lane. This is an area of fast moving traffic despite the fact that it is also a crosswalk for school children and there are numerous children walking in the area. There are numerous stop signs along High St. up until this point so the lack of a stop sign at this particular intersection is a dangerous anomaly. If you could please implement one here, it would be much appreciated by the various surrounding neighborhoods. Thank you.

With Smith becoming a mess (please address N. Smith too with the State), traffic and speeding only continues to worsen on E. Morningside Drive. Of particular disappointment is the frequent speeding of school and City buses, going far in excess of reasonable speeds with even deadlier vehicles. The small City bus (Access bus or whatever it was called) was going INSANELY quick two days ago. Recent neighborhood chatter: -At the bus stop at Sheffield and Providence this morning I watched a car fly around the school bus while it was fully stopped with its arm out. The car was heading out of the neighborhood. The vehicle was a black Hyundai Veloster, I believe. Very frequently there are kids running across this area, to catch the bus. This driver was reckless, and put our children’s lives at risk. As a mom of small kids I am very concerned with the number of drivers who don’t seem to remember they are in a neighborhood. Those who are against some strategic speed bumps, how do you propose we curb this behavior when a stopped school bus can’t even cause them pause? -I know I have many unpopular opinions such as this one, but, I fully support speed bumps. I know that doesn't ✨solve✨ it but I can't see anything else really being equally as/more effective at this point. -Hear hear! And while we are at it, does everyone know texting and driving is illegal and VERY dangerous? Our house sits high up and we can easily see down onto the road and into cars. We see how many people are doing it. If you’re one of those people, we probably see you doing it. Speeding/being reckless/texting and driving through a pedestrian/bike/pet-heavy area isn’t a problem. Until it is when someone gets struck. Please be mindful!! -I agree, we need speed bumps in this neighborhood. We live on a culdesac and it is frequently a racetrack! -We’d be happy to have speed bumps or strips on Morningside and keep all the kids by the park, crossing the intersection, safe. It’s clear it’s being used as a cut through. Someone flying into their driveway the other day in front of my son gave us a good scare. I know we all get in a rush, but slowing down would do us all some good. There are so many littles and pets in the neighborhood. -Well, since my house has been hit twice in the last 20 years by speeding teens, and the fact that the stop on N Park Ridge and Walpole seems to be ignored more than not, I'm fully behind speed bumps!!!! -Ron Smith" Please let us know what change and enforcement can be coming soon. In addition, the Longview Greenway portion behind Aldi's has now been destroyed? That was a primary bike path for our neighborhood to campus and downtown. When will that be restored? We have hopes speed humps with cut-outs and/or other measures to slow traffic will not only be present there but be present all the way through Park Ridge East for east-west connectivity and safety of children/pedestrians/cyclists.
