Park ridge East is close to University but a shame there is no safe path. Spouse and I walked Smith tonight and don't feel safe letting our kids on this road. It would be awesome to have a walking path from PRE to Green Acres for neighborhood kids to safely get to the crosswalk. Awesome. Can you please pursue an easement or other way for this? Would help hundreds for years to come
Vegetation blocking sidewalk on north side of fairview just west of fairview/11th st train bridge.
Vegetation blocking sidewalk on south side of 11th st, just west of fairview / train bridge.
Co-live site, 14th& college. Mud on sidewalk, sand on sidewalk, truck bumper overhanging sidewalk. Erosion barrier still fubared.
West sidewalk on rogers st just north of 10th st / B-line heights (pedcore project). They're using this vacant lot as a staging area for the trades district garage. They often park overhanging the sidewalk. This trailer hitch is a daily problem. The transportation plan calls for a 1.5ft shy zone beside sidewalks, and municipal code explicitly bans parking on unimproved surfaces. So can we get at least 1.5ft here!!! The photo is from yesterday but the situation is the same today.
Hello. I think our neighborhood is actually putting together a committee as so many people are concerned and keep complaining about speeding traffic on east morningside drive but we had a neighbor suggest a great idea of parking on the street or otherwise narrowing the street to slow down traffic, not just speed bumps. So ideas like https://www.smartcitiesdive.com/ex/sustainablecitiescollective/12-ways-slow-down-traffic-car-oriented-city/262221/. A neighbor suggest lines (or art) could be painted as an option to try. I forget what city it was but they simply painted parallel lines a few feet in from both sides of the road and it slowed traffic. Maybe this is cheaper for the city and can be tried? I hope someone from our neighborhood reaches out more formally soon and gives you all a call. I think we'll be part of the super cool 7-line someday? And guess we'll have something change then probably that hopefully will fix this. Maybe we can get the narrowing lines until then? The street is oddly too good right now, as it's clear and wide and easy to drive fast on! Can we get a random basketball goal and court painted? that would make cars slow down and think twice :) Take back our streets! Pleaes don't forget us. Thank you for making improvements to our safety in our neighborhoods! I drive like many, but there's no reason we can't slow down once we enter our residential neighborhoods.
pile of mulch has been sitting in front of this house for several months taking up an on-street parking space
There is a walk way from Cascades Addition from near 651 Skyline Drive that goes into the Arlington Elementary School yard. I have tried but never have been able to find out who (school or city) is responsible for it. I think the school has cleared it out every year before school starts. Children from the neighborhood walk to school that way and people walk to Kroger or to the walking path and frisbee golf course at Arlington. Right now it is really overgrown and some people have come racing their bicycles and scooters out of it and almost hit us twice (they were young adults). There used to be posts on it so no one could do that or try to drive on it! Picture is From Skyline Dr. looking up (see cut off post). I think the posts need to be put back up and it definitely needs to be cleared on both sides of path from overgrowth.
