Street & Traffic Signs
600 and 700 blocks of Eagleson Ave.
- Case Date:
- 6/11/2025
Cars and buses regularly speed on this street, often exceeding 35 miles per hour. Due to their speed, they are unable to stop at the stop signs—including city buses. I am requesting that a speed limit sign be installed, ideally one that displays drivers’ actual speed (similar to those used in school zones).
Our street and its connection to First Street have effectively become an unofficial bypass for east–west and west–east traffic, including city buses. This is a residentially zoned area with pedestrians, cyclists, children, pets, and wildlife. The sidewalks are narrow, and vehicles—especially buses—traveling at high speeds pose a serious risk. I have personally witnessed both buses and cars run stop signs, even when pedestrians, families with baby carriages, and cyclists are present. The cars/buses still don't stop and merely drive around the "obstacles."
At a minimum, a visible speed limit sign should be installed—preferably one that tracks and displays speeds.
Biking & Walking

Dumb down the east-west “smart signals” at Covenanter and College Mall Rd (and elsewhere in this corridor) that make it impossible for a a cyclist to cross the street if there is not a car at the intersection to trigger a green light. The only other way to get a green light at these intersections is to press a beg button designed for pedestrian access. The current default signals for car convenience make traveling by bicycle on the east side a real hassle.
Trash

This is what I have to look at everyday, but of course no one cares, because it is in Broadview. Part of this garbage has been here over two months. It just keeps collecting. The city won’t pick it up, because it exceeds the capacity of receptacles. If something isn’t done I plan to call the mayor’s office.

Several Bird scooters are blocking the sidewalk on West 3rd, south side of 3rd street, east of Rogers. They’ve been there a while. Thank you.

Line of Sight

There are some weeds growing up here that make it particularly difficult for drivers that are eastbound on E Smith Ave to check for northbound traffic on S Lincoln St before turning left onto Lincoln St. In the summer, this is a particularly busy area during pick-up and drop-off for the Lincoln Street Boys & Girls Club summer camps. It would also be ideal to take a look at the curb markings here to see if street parking can be adjusted to improve visibility at this intersection. Thank you!

Shrubs on east side of front yard are overgrown with tree-of-heaven, and the other plants have grown so much that they are blocking half the sidewalk. Property owner (absentee - lives in another town) doesn't keep this properties looking nice. They are either overgrown or else he completely removes all the plants so that the properties are only grass. Always too much or too little. Such a shame...

My recyle bin was missing on the sanitation day's morning around 7am. I tried to find it in the neighborhood with no success. I would appreciate your help with a replacement.
