On East 17th Street in front of the Devault Alumni Center (1000 E 17th St) there is a well-used pedestrian crosswalk. The white stripes are faded and at the crest of a hill, which makes them difficult for cars to see. A sign in the center of the roadway to highlight where the crosswalk is would be more eye-catching and will help drivers notice the crosswalk. The crosswalk is also right across from a bus stop, so this causes further confusion for drivers, who may be unsure if people are waiting for the bus or getting ready to cross. If a new island type sign was erected and the bus stop was moved 40-50 feet east of the crosswalk, I believe it would make this area much safer for pedestrians and drivers.

Street sign missing for Woodlawn at intersection with Atwater
Road was torn up during repairs to water line over the winter. Has not been resurfaced. Hazardous because cars drive on wrong side of street to avoid non-paved areas.
Something needs to be done at the intersection of North Walnut and 45/46. Cars turning left from walnut onto 45/46 often make a U-turn into the path of cars turning right from 45/46 onto College. Those cars turning right on college have the green turn arrow. Three times now someone making a U-turn has almost ran into me as I am making a right-hand turn with green arrow. There needs to be a no U-turn sign or some other adjustment.
The cross walk at John Hinkle Place and 10th St (i.e., as you cross 10th) is extremely dangerous. The white lines are very faded such that cars may not be able to see them, and cars frequently fail to stop or even slow down for pedestrians already in the cross walk (not even just waiting to cross). Given that the city bus stop there is also used as an elementary school bus stop, this cross walk could provide a really dangerous situation for children as well as for adults. If the lines for this cross walk could repainted as soon as possible or (even better) if it could get a button to press for flashing lights as you cross, that would be extremely helpful. Thank you very much for your consideration.
