Traffic Related Complaints
Smith Rd, Between E Third and Moore's Pike
- Case Date:
- 7/28/2021
Smith Rd often has folks speeding between E Third and Moore's Pike. There are no stop signs and no traffic monitoring... and too many folks just whiz along.
It can be dangerous checking the mailbox or crossing the road and animals crossing the road are in peril.
Need traffic monitoring and better placement of speed limit signage (the sign near the Lutheran Church is not nicely visible/not effectively placed....and it is the only one). The intersection at Smith and 3rd is horrendous. It is very difficult making a left from Smith to E 3rd and cars behind grow impatient. Thank you.

Can you do something to emphasize the stop signs on N Smith. For biker, pedestrian, and frankly even car safety at that intersection. Was almost just hit turning there by a car on N Smith who didn't understand the rules of the road. Occurs all the time.

Street & Traffic Signs

Westbound traffic on E Hillside Dr has a dedicated turn lane on to S Highland Ave. The painted lane demarcations have faded from traffic and it is difficult to distinguish lanes. This presents a hazard for traffic turning from E Hillside Dr on to S Highland Ave from traffic traveling eastbound on E Hillside Dr as the eastbound traffic frequently enters the dedicated turn lane. The lane demarcations should be repainted.

Overgrown trees at Fountain Drive and N Adams force pedestrians and kids on bikes into the street. The city trees need to be trimmed and trained.

I noticed a large bald hornet nest in a city tree in the treeplot in front of 715 West 13th Street. City employees (trash collection), postal workers, and members of the public regularly walk down this sidewalk and they will be walking directly under this nest. My understanding is that bald hornets are quite aggressive, and this is unsafe. I hope the City can remove it quickly. Thank you. (Not sure if you can see it or not in the photo, it is quite large)

Blocked Sidewalk

Over the past several months, the sidewalk in front of 1001 East 1st Street has gradually become almost completely blocked by trees and bushes encroaching from the yard. Yesterday, I was relieved to see someone *finally* trimming the bushes—but the work is completely inadequate. Half the sidewalk is still blocked, the bushes and trees still overhang the full sidewalk at a height low enough to force pedestrians to duck, and the trimmed branches have been left lying on the sidewalk. Please require the property owner (or owners—it's hard to tell where the property line is, and some of the problematic bushes and trees may be on the land belonging to the next house) to fully clear the sidewalk and haul away the resulting debris. It shouldn't be necessary to duck and fight one's way down the sidewalk, or to come away smeared in bird droppings.
