Traffic light out of sync
The Audio Pedestrian Signals at this intersection aren't working. I got this complain from someone who is blind who said "When crossing from the west moving east across walnut, it’s a bit dangerous because as a blind person, I am listening for my parallel traffic to move when that traffic signal activates the traffic to move, and especially on that left hand turn onto Walnut, the pedestrian signal is not activated as the parallel traffic is… The pedestrian signal seems to be delayed… That’s dangerous, especially if the audible signal is not working or loud enough to be heard… When I hear that parallel traffic move I take that as my signal to cross the street…" We checked them out and we don't hear audio, except a weak "wait" at the southwest corner.
The view of oncoming traffic is obscured at this intersect by the residences. I have not been in or witnessed a collision, but I believe that safety is a concern. I believe that any misfortune might be mitigated with the posting of stop signs or the placement of convex traffic mirrors. The surrounding residences are property of Indiana University. I am a lessee of one of these properties- 824 1/2 East Cottage Grove Avenue.
Southbound on Dunn, at 6th St: tree needs trimming, stop sign obscured
11th and Grant. This stop sign is just hanging by a single bolt (with no nut) to the pole. And it is also only approximately five feet off the ground unlike the other stops signs in the area that are about 7 feet off the ground.
Traffic headed south on Washington is no longer forced to stop. Street parking on the northwest corner of the intersection makes it dangerous for cross traffic to pull through the intersection on 6th. There are bound to be accidents.
Is there anyway the city can paint parking lines on 100 W. 8th street? Before the paved this road, there were lines and since they paved this I believe last year, the city has neglected to doing this causing vehicles at times to take up two spaces. This has been mainly an issue at night. Please look into this. Also, the blue curb for the handicap space is extremely faded and really needs to be repainted.
I wanted to propose the addition of a pedestrian crosswalk at the intersection of N Fess Ave and E 10th St. I live in Collins, and when walking between Hillcrest and the general courtyard buildings there are no immediate crosswalks in the area. The addition of white lines, particularly on the west end of this intersection (where there is already a metal grate where the sidewalk meets the road) would be very helpful for residents of Collins and would make the area safer for pedestrians trying to cross the street.
4- Way stop needed, close calls
