The intersection of South walnut/South walnut street pike and winslow is a two way stop when it absolutely needs to be a four way or have a light. During heavy traffic periods in the evening the intersection is impossible to cross or navigate and is extremely unsafe. Please do something about this awful intersection.

I am requesting speed bumps for Covenanter Drive, between College Mall Road and Clarizz Blvd. This is residential area with two large apartment complexes. It's also a heavily traveled road for buses, bikes and vehicles, as well, as pedestrians. Many use it as a way to cut through the area or to reach nearby apartment complexes, the mall, the large Kroger, or medical offices.
Speeding is a concern. Line of sight can also be issue with two bus stops, curbside parking, the road's curve and change in elevation.
I think speed bumps would help the issue, just like it has done on Covenanter Drive, going west from College Mall to High Street.

Eastbound traffic is reported as often blowing through the stop sign - either not noticing it and/or unable to anticipate it, creating unsafe conditions at the intersection.

Dunstan and Allendale Dr. is a city and MCCSC bus stop, both on the NW corner and SE corner of this 4 way stop. This is the only 4 way stop on Allendale. Vehicles are constantly ignoring the traffic sign. Consideration to make this a proper crosswalk with crosswalk lines, or a bus stop sign, or flashing stop sign is being requested. I appreciate that a traffic study is being done on Allendale to show increased speeds and traffic on this road. THe safety of our kids, pedestrians, and bike riders is what is of major concern.

Adams bridge apparently seems to be getting hit by too big trucks regularly. Having spoken to folks near by, it seems like while there are markings available, they are not sufficent to prevent accidents.
Could folks look into improving the marking in the area?

Hello, would it be possible to make the intersection of North Dr and Henderson St (and Summitview Place) a four-way stop? It's currently a two-way with Henderson traffic not stopping, and at multiple points during the day with the bus stop right at that corner cars will wait easily up to five minutes just to have enough of a break in traffic to cross (or even turn in some cases). Also, heading across on North, with the school's baseball field right at that corner and the black material put up on the fence now, it's practically a blind corner unless you creep up to the point that you're in the intersection. Going back to the bus stop, I also think it'd be much safer for pedestrians as there are many who walk their dogs around both the apartment complex (Summit Pointe) and the school's sidewalks. I've attached a photo of the intersection I'm referring to, however Maps isn't showing the baseball field for some reason. Thank you for your consideration!

The lights at intersections need re programmed so that a green light happens in sequence. The cars can’t progress because the light stays red for 10 seconds while the eastern intersections light is burning green. The cars can’t travel anywhere. Very frustrating!

At the intersection of 6th and Rogers, cars regularly block the entrance/exit to the Near West Side neighborhood when they move from the 4-way stop at 7th and Rogers to the intersection of Kirkwood and Rogers. I would suggest marking the 6th and Rogers intersection with a "Don't Block the Box" pavement marking. Something needs to be done to stop vehicles in both directions from blocking the intersection of 6th and Rogers.

Topic: West 16th, Hancock Dr., and West 15th section through/beside Crestmont Park.
This is a beautiful, and I believe under-appreciated stretch of street. Quiet, park setting with trees. However, there is one problem - the road is extremely narrow. Too narrow. If a car is coming one way and encounters a car coming the other way, one has to stop and pull half-way off the road for the other to get by. This is particularly problematic because the blacktop drops off several inches right at the edge and the soil at the edge is often washed out in certain areas. Another issue is that some drivers drive entirely too fast through here and then cut the corner at the bottom of the hill too tightly - this has practically run me off the road in the past.
I don't wish to suggest that this section of street be widened. That would ruin its park-like atmosphere. What I would like to suggest is this: Starting at Lindbergh, W. 15th, Hancock, and W. 16th up to Monroe St be made one-way westbound. Then, the section of Lindbergh between W. 15th and W. 17th be switched to one-way northbound once 17th is reopened. I don't think that much traffic normally comes up Lindbergh where it would create that much more traffic on W.16th, etc. Perhaps put down counters to check, but it would cut out the traffic from one way and make the road more safe.
Even if none of this is pursued, one thing that is definitely needed are "SLOW" signs and "PARK" signs. There may be a sign marking that there is a ninety-degree curve does in the bottom, but if not, there needs to be one of those too.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you will give this some consideration - at least definitely the part about the signs.

If you're going to eliminate the left turn lanes on the westbound entrance to the Winslow/Walnut and eastbound entrance to the Winslow intersection until DECEMBER, then turn off the left turn green light! Just keep it red until the solid green turns on. Right now it's pointless. If the first car is going straight, then nobody can turn left anyway and those that want to turn left get angry that nobody is turning left! Additionally, I've seen people just start going straight when that left arrow turns on since it's a "green light" in their lane. So, you're just making it more confusing and difficult by keeping the left turn light as an option. Finally, it would have been great if you could have waited until Gordon Pike was open before putting another traffic impediment in on the south side. The traffic backups are terrible during peak hours.
