Looked like E Morningside through Park Ridge is at 20 mph but Park Ridge East is at 25 mph. Can you make consistently 20 throughout? Thank you. Both remain residential areas, bike path, and such.
I live at the corner of S. Park Avenue and University Street. In the last two months, there have been at least 4 traffic accidents at the corner when someone does not stop. While the police were called for 2 of the accidents, the others did not involve the police (drove off or exchanged information). The police were called when the accidents were significant enough to require towing away one (or both) vehicles. I do not know that a four-way stop is the right solution to reduce this problem, but something should be done.
Hi, I was almost hit by another car from narrowed right lane after city done the s college mall rd/E Moores Pike project. Can you put up a clear sign telling the drivers "right lane must turn Right" from S sare rd to S college mall rd to avoid possible accident? Thanks
There is a lot of high speed traffic on West 13th Street between Rogers and Maple and I believe it is unsafe for the neighborhood. I live at the intersection of 13th and Fairview with my son who is developmentally disabled, so it is even more concerning for me to have cars zipping by at speeds far too high for residential areas. I believe a 4-way stop would solve the problem and request that you consider this.
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.
Just a suggestion, it would be helpful to have a crosswalk from Bloomington HS South from or around the faculty parking lot and or where the busses line up to a side walk. Currently, students are just crossing the street and it’s really unsafe.
This is a bustling intersection and should have a stop sign. I've seen near misses multiple times, and it's in an area where children are walking and riding their bikes. Thanks for listening and your consideration.
Three weeks ago, I was riding my bike west on 7th St in the bicycle lane as a car entered from Indiana Ave into the bike lane. I had to stop my bike and lift it over the curb to get around the car that was impeding both lanes of the bike lane. This is not my first experience with cars in the 7th St bike lane. Please install a post or bollard at the protected bicycle lane entrances to discourage cars from entering it. This is a simple, easy to install, and low cost solution. I don't understand why it wasn't installed in the first place.
7th and Dunn and 7th and Indiana have become absolutely terrifying since the bike lanes were installed. The main issue is on 7th and Dunn St: without a four way stop, it is very dangerous to travel on Dunn St. people do not check for bikes/scooters in their right-away lane, which leads to countless near accidents. I live on Dunn, and it often takes nearly 5 minutes to get out of this intersection, due to the heavy traffic which comes from the Indiana and 7th intersection. I have witnessed major accidents at both of these intersections. At 7th and Indiana, the stop line (on 7th) is so far back that cars on Indiana street cannot see the stopped cars on 7th until they themselves are stopped. This leads to confusion/road rage from the cars on Indiana when they think those traveling on 7th didn’t come to a complete stop. 4 way stop sign should be reinstated on 7th and Dunn Intersection, and something needs to be done to improve vision on 7th and Indiana.
Starting the 7th Street Bikeway project is great. I hope we have lots of low-traffic thoroughfares in twon some day. But finish what you started on Allen Street. There is no signs, no flashing beacons, no paint. Nothing that designates the street a low and slow traffic area. Cars drive way faster now with the "improvements" then they did with the hodgepodge pilot. Put some signs up. Paint the street. Put some flashers at the Washington St intersection and the Henderson St intersection. Allen is not finished.
