The intersection of Smith road and 10th Street has heavy traffic, especially in the morning and during the rush hour. The fact that there is university elementary school nearby the intersection makes the traffic heavier at times. However, the intersection is controlled only by one way stop sign. The fact that around the intersection the road on the 10th Street curves makes the traffic coming from Smith road challenging to turn on the 10th street. I strongly recommend putting traffic lights on that intersection to avoid accidents and relax the traffic around the intersection.

The trail lights on posts 137 and 138 are both out just to the east of Moravec. The second one to the west of Moravec is also very dim, probably 141.

There's a nasty pothole in the center of Moravec Way, just south of the intersection with the BLine Trail. It would be great if it could be filled with gravel or repaired.

A pet waste station is desperately needed at the intersection of Moravec Way and the B-Line. There are piles of uncollected pet waste all along the trail in this area, which I often step in while performing my Adopt-a-Greenspace duties. I suspect that folks would be more willing to bag up their pet's waste if there was a convenient disposal option here.

We have a large number of mosquitoes in our yard, despite having drained and removed all possible breeding areas in our yard and our neighbors' in the spring. I notice that they seem to be most concentrated near the outlet of the stormwater pipe into our drainage ditch. I'm wondering if there is a nearby catch basin in the collection system under the road, where they might be breeding? If so, could someone please do a mosquito dip to check for larvae?

The stormwater culvert appears to be partially blocked with debris at multiple points. The first point is where a pipe passes under the B-Line trail, just near lamppost 136. There is a large tree trunk that is impeding the flow of stormwater there. The second point is further down the culvert, where two smaller pipes pass under the railroad tracks. One pipe is partially blocked, and the other is completely blocked with leaves and debris. Kriste has my contact info if you have any questions.

I found my trash can like this after this morning's pickup. My guess is that it was replaced too close to (or partially in) the road after pickup and it was struck by a vehicle. I also noticed another bin on my block with this same kind of damage.

Overgrowth and trees on this property encroach significantly on the sidewalk making pedestrian access difficult. In addition, the property is overrun with highly invasive plants, including tree of heaven, multiflora rose, and many others.

There was a collision today between a car and a bus at the intersection of 11th and Diamond Streets. The car was unable to see around the large building at the southwest corner, and pulled out in front of a fast-moving bus. A similar thing happened several years ago between two passenger vehicles which resulted in a collision with the house on the southeast corner (see picture). With the new development at Moravec Way, this intersection is getting much more use over the past few years. I would appreciate if a traffic study could be conducted to determine if some kind of traffic calming, such as a speed hump, would be appropriate to install on the west side of this intersection.
