Biking & Walking
Park Ridge Park
- Case Date:
- 4/18/2022
Received by email from Resident:
The Park Ridge park is receiving increased usage these days. It's a great park with wonderful amenities and we are very proud of it! We monitor it carefully to be sure all is in good repair, the grounds are litter free, and we interact with City staff as they visit to maintain the park.
As a result of this usage, parking has become an item that needs closer attention and management. With two residential homes on the circle with driveways, occasionally the two driveways are occasionally partially blocked; at least to the point where the residents of the two homes are challenged to enter or exit their driveways.
Suggestion: would you survey the circle area and consider placing stripes to designate parking spaces? This would insure if vehicles park within the designated spaces, blocking driveways would not be an issue. One resident has medical needs and occasionally requires emergency transport.
Additionally, please consider a yellow "do not park" grid stenciled to mark the walk/bike path entry off the circle. This area is often blocked by parked cars. The result is walking or biking around a vehicle to use the path. If a person in a wheelchair wished to enter the path (at the bottom of the hill), they are unable to access the path if a vehicle parks in front of the entry.

Street & Traffic Signs
527 E 7th ST
- Case Date:
- 10/15/2021
Resident reports that the stop sign at the intersection of 7th and Indiana is on the left side of the road and believes that it is against regulations to not have one on the right side. Additionally, resident reports that the stop sign at 7th and Woodlawn is also not in compliance due to exceeding height limitations. The resident expressed his concern that there would be traffic accidents because of the home football game if these signs were not adjusted.
Traffic Suggestions
3108 S Coppertree DR
- Case Date:
- 10/5/2021
Very concerned about traffic along Rogers between the two roundabouts (High St and Sare Rd). Is often bumper-to-bumper around 5p and worried about kids/older people walking, especially coming out of The Stands or the Sherwood Oaks Church. Would traffic-calming devices be considered here? Or, minimally, signs to slow down traffic?
