E Morningside Drive continues to have heavy speeders, even if most people fine. Multiple neighbors have requested traffic calming for years. Kids almost hit again today. For the people living on the road please do something.

Drove to IU Foundation the other day. Great effective speed dips instead of bumps. Little less obtrusive. Could we get these on E Morningside of Park Ridge East when Greenway goes in. Or is there a map of the Greenway design? Thanks!

N Smith bike lanes skinny. Can we get protective barrier? Live close but too unsafe for neighborhood kids to bike to the school. Is sad.

Hello. I think our neighborhood is actually putting together a committee as so many people are concerned and keep complaining about speeding traffic on east morningside drive but we had a neighbor suggest a great idea of parking on the street or otherwise narrowing the street to slow down traffic, not just speed bumps. So ideas like https://www.smartcitiesdive.com/ex/sustainablecitiescollective/12-ways-slow-down-traffic-car-oriented-city/262221/. A neighbor suggest lines (or art) could be painted as an option to try. I forget what city it was but they simply painted parallel lines a few feet in from both sides of the road and it slowed traffic. Maybe this is cheaper for the city and can be tried? I hope someone from our neighborhood reaches out more formally soon and gives you all a call. I think we'll be part of the super cool 7-line someday? And guess we'll have something change then probably that hopefully will fix this. Maybe we can get the narrowing lines until then? The street is oddly too good right now, as it's clear and wide and easy to drive fast on! Can we get a random basketball goal and court painted? that would make cars slow down and think twice :) Take back our streets! Pleaes don't forget us. Thank you for making improvements to our safety in our neighborhoods! I drive like many, but there's no reason we can't slow down once we enter our residential neighborhoods.

Park ridge East is close to University but a shame there is no safe path. Spouse and I walked Smith tonight and don't feel safe letting our kids on this road. It would be awesome to have a walking path from PRE to Green Acres for neighborhood kids to safely get to the crosswalk. Awesome. Can you please pursue an easement or other way for this? Would help hundreds for years to come

Noticed the iu library crosswalk on 10th is getting worked on? Our class last semester picked problem areas in town and about half of us picked that crosswalk as super awful needing to have a overpass or a pedestrian signal, etc. Please please tell me it's getting fixed finally.
