Add a stop sign to reduce speed on Allendale Drive. Speeds are exceeding, cars do not slow down at this intersection to turn, this is a multimodal route and children and bikes are here often.
I am a homeowner here in the city. Unexpectedly my neighbor trenched And waterproofed his basement. The trench was between our houses, Which are close together. I asked him if he needed a Permit. He said no. Is he right?
Constant parking on grass
Tree leaning over the sidewalk too low even for a short adult to walk under. 620 S. Park Ave.
There are no stop signs or speed bumps for a long section on Maxwell Lane between High Street and Jordan Avenue. The speed limit is 25. People are regularly driving 50. From Jordan heading east toward Sheridan there is a hill. Traffic turning or crossing at Mitchell aren’t able to see over the hill. If people drove the posted speed limit, it would not be an issue. There is regular honking as people speeding east on Maxwell crest the hill to find cars turning onto Maxwell from Mitchell or the residences. There are also many elementary students in the very near area, and a bus stop on Maxwell at Sheridan. A stop sign at Mitchell or Sheridan on Maxwell would drastically improve the safety of the area.
Was given location by a property manager about large shrub in the roadway
The construction on Rhorer and Gordon Pike has pushed a lot of the thru-traffic on the South side to East Burks Dr., resulting in a traffic load that the small, curved road wasn't designed for. More cars are coming through, and not always at a safe speed. This issue is highlighted by the fact that currently, there are no signs prohibiting parking on either side of Burks Dr., so residents park on both sides of the street. This creates a one-lane road that has to accommodate a large traffic load (relative to it's design). Some residents have even taken to parking large tractor/trailer vehicles on the road, which almost completely eliminates visibility of oncoming traffic as you round the bend going from west-to-east. My suggestion is to please restrict parking to the east-to-west side of the street, and post "No Parking" signs on the west-to-east side of the street. This allows for the greatest visibility for both sides of traffic, and also maintains two-way traffic, an important element to South side transportation with alternate routes still under construction.
bush growth blocking sidewalk
The problem exists at the intersection of E. Arden Dr. and S. High St. There is a 4 way stop there. People driving on High St. regularly run this stop sign, even when there is a car on Arden Dr. that has the right of way. There have been many close calls there. This is also an intersection where families and children cross High St. on their way to Southeast Park. Something needs to be done to discourage cars from running the stop sign on High St. before someone gets hurt.
