Missing street name signs, and knocked over school zone sign. The school sign I straightened as much as possible but it seems to be just stuck in a dirt hole. So leaned again right away.
Hi, I contacted the city last week about a stop sign on 2nd and Ballantine that is completely covered by a tree. It is a danger as it should be a 4 way stop, but people don't see it and will fly through it. Please get the tree trimmed so it doesn't cover up the stop sign. Thank you. Best, Ingrid
Ped signal at Smith and Washington is triggering erroneously a couple times per minute. Not sure if the rain is causing this or what.
Stop sign knocked down at se corner of Highland and 2nd St
I often bike north on Jordan avenue to 3rd St., then turn left onto 3rd with the traffic light. Before the recent construction, the left turn signal appeared to be on a timer, and now it seems to be activated by a metal-sensitive loop in the pavement. But so far I have been unable to trigger the left turn signal with my bicycle. I have been instructed to ride exactly on the wire, and I ride a steel frame bike from 1970, so it should have plenty of metal to be detected. Is there some way to make sure this traffic light actuator is sensitive enough to work for bicyclists as well as for cars?
Not really a "Traffic signal" but I couldn't find a "Sign" category: The "No Parking" sign in front of 1300 E. Southdowns Dr. was rammed and damaged by a fast-moving hit-and-run white panel truck at 2:30 pm today, 5/28/2014. Sign was bent and is now leaning. I heard the noise, saw the truck driving past, but did not notice identifying markings on the truck -- it may have been solid white. It had to be driving on the grass to do this damage.
Cannot see 'red dot' of traffic signal at 3rd and Woodlawn. Difficult to cross street.
When heading N on Highland and turning L onto 3rd Street, it is extremely difficult to see around the TIS Bookstore. Cars with long noses practically have to inch out into traffic to see whether any vehicles are coming. (I suspect this may be partly responsible for the collision at the intersection I saw a few days ago.) My suggestion for a solution is to install convex traffic mirrors to increase visibility around the corner. These are used to excellent effect in the many tight corners in Europe, where streets and buildings often existed long before modern traffic conditions.
I believe that the intersection of Hunter and Fess (one block North of the new Bloomingfoods store) should be changed from a 2 way stop to a 4 way stop. When travelling west on Hunter, it is very difficult to see any traffic coming up Fess (north bound) until you are completely in the street. This traffic on Fess does not stop today, while Hunter does stop. With the significant number of cars normally parked on Fess, it is very difficult to see oncoming traffic until you are nearly into the oncoming traffic lane. With the new Bloomingfoods, there seems to be a growing amount of traffic using Fess in this area. I regular use Hunter on my bicycle, and this intersection is the most dangerous one on Hunter, and would benefit from being converted to a 4 way stop.
Double yellow on Jordan north of Atwater very heavily worn.
