Requesting road improvements to North smith or Morningside deterrent. Traffic at end of business day constantly goes through Morningside lots and quickly due to smith backup.

Left turn lane on 10th at Union and 10th badly needed. Constant backups waiting on one car. Or alternatively no left turn on 10th there permitted to Union either direction.
Please put up a sign to prevent left turn from third to Union during busy times. Much better for flow.
Cars travel too fast on Grimes between Woodlawn and Henderson. Speed bumps could help slow the speed of traffic.
I wanted to propose the addition of a pedestrian crosswalk at the intersection of N Fess Ave and E 10th St. I live in Collins, and when walking between Hillcrest and the general courtyard buildings there are no immediate crosswalks in the area. The addition of white lines, particularly on the west end of this intersection (where there is already a metal grate where the sidewalk meets the road) would be very helpful for residents of Collins and would make the area safer for pedestrians trying to cross the street.
Motorists speed down this section of road, often 20mph OVER the posted 25mph speed limit. Safety is a concern, for my child and for other pedestrians. A speed bump would fix this issue!
The intersection at E 2nd St and S Park Ave is unsafe. It's where 2nd St jogs to the south and it should probably be a four way stop. I'm not actually sure what would be best, but it's a dangerous intersection.
There was a collision today between a car and a bus at the intersection of 11th and Diamond Streets. The car was unable to see around the large building at the southwest corner, and pulled out in front of a fast-moving bus. A similar thing happened several years ago between two passenger vehicles which resulted in a collision with the house on the southeast corner (see picture). With the new development at Moravec Way, this intersection is getting much more use over the past few years. I would appreciate if a traffic study could be conducted to determine if some kind of traffic calming, such as a speed hump, would be appropriate to install on the west side of this intersection.
There is a new "Domino's Pizza" on the corner of Walnut and 12th, and the delivery drivers are speeding down 12th street at night, compounding a recurrent problem in this neighborhood. There are no speed limit signs (I assume it should be 25 mph, as per City Code), no speed bumps and no stop signs for the five (!) blocks stretching from Walnut to Indiana. The City should at least install a stop sign at 12th/Lincoln and/or one at 12th/Grant to slow down the traffic on this residential street. Please help keep our streets.
Has the city considered installing a protected bike lane on 3rd street? Particularly between Jordan Ave and Indiana Ave. I just drove by and there were TWO Semi-tractor trailers parked in the lane and a sedan parked in the lane. It really reflects poorly on the city that you put in useless white paint and nothing to actually protect people from vehicles. I never bother to use the bike lanes for this reason, you never know when you'll have to keep re-entering vehicle traffic.
