Shrubs and Bushes blocking line of sight when pulling onto 3rd from westplex
We have been asking for parking lines to be repainted on S Dunn St for a long time. I was assured by the city this would be done and it still hasn’t. Now people are receiving parking citations on our street. So we are paying fines for parking on a street the city is refusing to repaint. I would like the lines repainted and to receive clarity on why residents are being ticketed for parking in front of their own homes. Thanks!
Between approximately 1910 until about 1925 on 3/21/24, I witnessed 6-8 vehicles drive south in the northbound lane in the construction area from Fountain then turning west on 7th St. The vehicles ranged from a full-size truck pulling a trailor, the kind to haul a riding lawnmower, to an either 2-door or small 4-door car and judging from the high speed at which the car drove and the timing of the next northbound car, the southbound car entered the construction zone at the same time or after the northbound car entered from Kirkwood. This was all within 15-20 minutes on the 4th day of the closure.It's going to be a problem.
The apartment development on Gourley Pike has just poured a curb that impedes access to W. Cascade Ave. The curb extends into the approach to W. Cascade. There is no longer room for 2 cars to pass one another simultaneously to enter the street
There is a large put next to the sidewalk at 7th and Grant that has been there for over a week. It used to have caution tape around it, but that has since disappeared, too. I just don’t want anyone to fall in! Thanks!
The traffic signal at Woodlawn and 3rd requires pedestrians to push the beg button to get the walk light to cross 3rd. Maybe that's reasonable on the west side of the intersection, but the walk light should come on automatically on the east side of the intersection, because there is no conflict with turning traffic. It is a particular issue because pedestrians coming from the north can't see what phase the lights for car traffic are in. This lack of information for pedestrians often causes some unsafe behavior that could be avoided if they could just rely on the walk signal that faces them to accurately convey whether they are in an east-west phase of the light cycle or a north-south phase.
Timing improvement college mall road/coventanter stop light - before 7am eastbound covenanter gets green light, then westbound even if no one is there, then there are turn arrows.....makes for a long light for stopped College Mall Road vehicles when traffic is very light at that time of day.
Bush is overgrowing into the road and sidewalk
Trees are blocking portion of the sidewalk on S Madison
This is a 2 for 1. On the south side of 7th, there is a railroad tie used as a parking barrier from the eastern residence and overgrowth from the western residence.
