This comment is for the engineering department regarding proposed improvements to the intersection of Smith Road and Morningside Drive. My observation of traffic patterns over several months suggests that the stop signs at the intersection are not the only problem. The terrain on Smith Road, elevation changes, vegetation and sightlines for drivers are contributing factors. For southbound drivers, the railroad overpass obscures visibility until the stop sign can be seen from the McCracken Way entrance to the apartments south of the railroad, although it may not be noticeable to a casual observer because the sign is beyond the crest of a hill. The highest point of Smith Road is north of the Morningside intersection. Many of the offending drivers are commuters who drive on this route frequently and have developed a habit of not stopping at an intersection that typically has no cross traffic. A Stop Ahead warning sign near McCracken Way would alert drivers to the eminent stop sign. More prominent (larger size) stop signs at the intersection on both sides of the street, with two signs facing north and two signs facing south, would command further attention from drivers. Additional amendments to the road surface would signal to those who are visually impaired, with speed cushions and small depressions in the pavement similar to those used on either side of the center line on two lane highways, creating a rumble effect of sound and vibration. An exceptional remedy may be appropriate for an exceptional situation.

Every time that I have used the women's restroom by the baseball fields that are used for soccer, there has been no soap in the dispenser. I generally only use the facility right after it has been unlocked, so I'm sure it's not that the soccer and baseball players have used it all. We would all like to have clean bathrooms, but it's hard to get people to treat the facility with respect when there are recurring basic problems like this.

N-E corner of Walnut and Allen broken glass bottle right where cyclists and pedestrians push the crossing button. Also could you street sweep Allen St. from Walnut through to the B-line for broken glass, including across the bridge? There's a lot of glass in the road and that is a heavily used bicycle route. Thanks.

Trash was left in the alleyway behind World Foods Market. I moved it to the side of the old Stahl Furniture building to get it out of the way of vehicles. I suspect it’s been left by students vacating local rentals for the summer.
