Workers cut a hole in the blacktop and the fix isn't holding.
At Thornton Dr. and Henderson St. there is a line of sight issue looking south down Henderson while on Thornton. The stop sign on Thorton is back from the intersection and a driver cannot see users of the multi-use trail or traffic coming from the south on Henderson without pulling forward to the point of the vehicle being into the crossing for the multi-use path on Thornton. This has been a problem for a while. Today, I was stopped at the stop sign and about to slowly move forward to the point where I could see traffic when a bicycle heading north on the multi-use path coming down the hill from Miller along Henderson at a decent speed went flying by in front of my car without regard to the cross traffic pulling out. I'm not sure who would end up at fault when a cyclist goes over the hood of a car there in such a scenario but it seems better if the City can address the problem immediately instead of wait for someone to get hurt. I have seen similar issues with scooters coming down the hill there.
There is construction going on behind me, on the corner of Miller Drive and S. Henderson. Last week and again today there are awful vibrations coming from that site. These vibrations literally make me sick. This is a deep low vibration and it comes from a piece of equipment that looks like a steam roller. The driver goes back and forth and back and forth over the property pretty much constantly. I'm wondering how much longer this is going to be going on. There is occasionally a break from it but it's mostly steady all day. I actually have to leave my house when it starts up (early in the morning) and stay away all day. I hope someone can advise me how much longer this is going to be going on.
