With students returning, I've noticed an uptick in traffic speeding down North Washington between 12th and 10th street. I feel like the problem is only going to increase as the new apartment building at 714 N Walnut is completed. With several children that play in the neighborhood, I'm concerned with their safety. Can traffic calming measures be investigated for this area?
Intersection of North/South Bryan Avenue and East 5th Street. Vehicles traveling in excess of posted speed limits, sometimes not stopping at the posted stop sign, and it is a school bus stop for Elementary Students. South Bryan Avenue also has an issue with vehicles speeding to get to the traffic light at South Bryan Avenue and East 3rd Street. There are several children that live on this street and people don't always see them unless an adult is standing/walking in the road with them. There are no true sidewalks and it is VERY unsafe for the children.
The new light in front of the the Twin Lakes Recreation center has backed up traffic a lot especially during peak travel times, morning and evening rush hour commutes. I have lived in Oakdale Square apartments for over 4 years and the amount of extra time it takes to get to and from work (I work at IU) has increase by 5-10 minutes because of the light. As a suggestion I think the light should be a yellow flasher for Bloomfield road traffic between the hours of 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm. This would decrease the amount the traffic can back up in this area.
I just moved to 2nd and Swain. The corner needs a stop sign for all ways, not just for traffic on Swain. Most of the intersections along 2nd have 4-way stops; this intersection is the exception for some reason. Drivers go way faster than the 25mph allowed; the area is quite congested with students moving back into the area.
House at 1826 E Hunter Ave has had their empty trash cans and recycle bin out in the street since Monday morning's trash pickup.
Property at 1826 E Hunter Ave has mowed their yard once this year. It is completely overgrown. Have spoken to neighbors about in the past (they, by habit, only mow it once a year), but nothing has changed.
