Picture Vs. Map = unrelated. The picture has relevance as that is what traffic is like on Tapp/Country Club at 3:40 - 5:45 on a Friday near to Rockport intersection. And NO, this keyboard has not disappeared, it is holding its own; = yeah. Randy 812-360-3600
Just after the overpass when headed north on Smith Road (toward 10th Street) there is a large pothole that takes up the entirety of the bike lane. That area had been closed off for several weeks to fix a hole created by the utility crew working on the power lines. However, it was not completely filled and the hole that was left cannot be biked over safely. The situation is now more dangerous than when the area was closed off, as there are no cones or tape to indicate to the cyclists and the drivers that the cyclist will need to enter the traffic lane to avoid wrecking over the pothole. As is, this serves a serious danger. Someone is either going to get hit by a car while trying to avoid the large hole the are not expecting, or hit it and fall into traffic.
There is a large tree that blocks the view of the east side of the road on 8th street from Roosevelt street. There have been many close calls with traffic and I think it's dangerous. The only way to see traffic coming from the east side is to pull up past the tree, but by then you are already halfway in the road. I would appreciate it if this tree could be cut down or at least cut in a way that makes it possible to see the road. The photo is the view from Roosevelt looking left to 8th street at the stop sign.
The City has done a great job getting the traffic lights between 1st street onward north on Walnut Street timed so that driven at the speed limit, one can easily drive on Walnut without hitting any red lights. This greatly decreases traffic, improves commute time, and increases gas mileage. It's a pleasure to drive through these timed lights.. except... The new light at Walnut and Smith is not incorporated with the other timed lights. It's a good light for the parents who are dropping their children off at the Project School, and I understand the need for it, but it appears that light is triggered by a vehicle waiting on Smith Ave, and the trigger occurs very quickly once a vehicle stops there to wait. I'm sure this is fine during school hours, as not many vehicles use that light, but during the morning traffic flow, many parents use that light, and that signal interrupts the flow of traffic on Walnut. This could be fixed by eliminating the trigger based on a waiting vehicle on Smith, and incorporating that light with the other timed lights. This traffic pattern works well for all of the other cross streets, I don't see why it would be an inconvenience for anyone waiting at the light on Smith. Thank you!
When will this street cut in the bike lane be repaired?
the sidewalk in front of our apartment community is broken and unsafe! Someone is going to get hurt! (Note from staff: Area of concern is 3209 E. 10th Street,(Fountain Park Apartments).
The Walnut Street bike lane (starting around the intersection with 11th street) has been all torn up for quite some time now. When will this be repaired?
Pot hole from utility cut, just east of cross walk at Hyde Park entrance on Moores Pike, east-bound lane. Has been repaired twice, is sinking again.
Large square piece of pavement missing
It's not really a pothole, more like a bad spot in the road that dips down quite deep, large enough for 1 tire. Driving East on Moore's Pike, just past the entrance to Hyde Park, on the right is a large dip in the road, large enough for one tire. Everyone swerves to miss it, which could easily cause an accident into oncoming traffic.
