There’s no crosswalk or signage indicating pedestrian crossing. More kids from our neighborhood are walking and biking to Jackson Creek but crossing from Forester St across E Rogers in the morning can be dangerous. Can the city investigate putting something there to protect kids and encourage motorists to slow down ? Signs, painted strips etc would be great
I’m writing to request the installation of a pedestrian crosswalk across South Highland Avenue near the Montessori school. Many families and young children cross this busy street daily, and a designated crosswalk would greatly improve safety. Thank you for considering this important request for our community.
I send this picture to simply point out that this vehicle is blocking what would be the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd St's if it were painted there, but since there is no bike lane, it isn't blocked.
Multi-use path from meadowbrook drive is overgrown. please trim it back for walkers/bikers. Also would love a ramp down into Fenbrook Ln from this path. Big thanks to the crew that handled storm debris on clarizz path/ cleaned up the shortcut from clarizz to Latimer Rd!
Dangerous to cross
Cars cut through Matlock Heights to avoid the light at Walnut/Bypass. We need traffic calming here to slow traffic down. Cars are driving at high speeds and not watching out for walkers and children biking. This has been a major issue during the construction which is happening now on Walnut and the Bypass, but is also year round.
Twice now over the past 4 days, I have been walking in the middle of this crosswalk across High St, and a car coming the other way does not stop and drives around me, once when I had two children behind me. Both were white female drivers in their 60s/70s. Perhaps their vision does not see the white painted crosswalk area OR the yellow signs, but I'm thinking they are choosing to break the law. Mateo is a wonderful crossing guard, but he was not there either of these two times. This area needs to be repainted with high visibility/reflective paint, a blinking light on the signs, or at the very minimum, monitored by police for a while. Someone is going to get killed.
West info sign on sidewalk needs repair - exposed nail/ sheet metal on south side of sign +/- 12” above sidewalk
The sidewalk between these two houses has one step up and one step down. This increases the walking distance to the park if one is using a stroller, wheel chair, or bike, by a quarter mile if they live in the southern section of Sherwood oaks 2. Why not 2 ramps????
on the 7-line, between walnut and washington, theres gravel in the bike lane that came from the median strip landscaping. two separate properties on this block pose this problem. the landscapers recently refreshed the gravel, and when they did, they dropped some directly in the bike lane, and they also overflowed the planters that are continuing to drain into the bike lane. the gravel is largely hidden by leaves at the moment, which only exacerbates the danger. i must emphasize that this is a transportation safety issue, and if planning cannot resolve it, then engineering or PW must solve it. thanks! - greg
