Comments for the Engineering Department for their preparation in advance of the May commission meeting at city hall regarding safety improvements at the intersection of East Morningside Drive and Smith Road to encourage southbound traffic on Smith Road to stop at the Morningside Greenway: My observation in proximity to the stop sign disclosed that visibility of the sign is compromised by tree branches that have grown into the right of way to the extent of overhanging part of the southbound traffic lane. Limited visibility of the stop sign from the railroad underpass has the visual effect as if the sign were at the end of a long tunnel. Trimming the trees west of the sidewalk would have an immediate positive effect on safety at the Greenway intersection. Adding a STOP AHEAD flashing caution sign midway between the underpass and Morningside would be helpful. Flashing signs with solar powered lights are available on the internet for under $1,000 which seems reasonable for safety in comparison to medical expenses after a collision and the recent significant Greenway cost of sidewalks, speed calming bump outs and asphalt speed cushions. The Morningside and Smith intersection is well known for southbound traffic ignoring the stop sign. Commuters connecting from 10th to Third Street have grown accustomed to watching the stoplight at Third Street rather than respecting the Morningside stop sign. This notorious traffic hazard is deserving of a trifecta solution, including trimming trees, adding a caution sign, and replacing the stop sign, which in its present bent condition does not provide adequate reflectivity at night.

Big pothole, I go to work earlier in the morning so I can’t see it very well and I fear I will pop a tire.

There are multiple potholes on Sudbury drive from Weimer to W. Arbor Ridge Way, one is very deep and could cause vehicle/tire damage. Sudbury does not have street lights so for people not familiar with the roads they may not know to avoid that pothole. There is also a shallow pothole on W Arbor Ridge way about feet from Sudbury that is getting larger each week.

Roosevelt and Jefferson I just finished picking up the trash in this green space. It is in very rough condition and is overgrown again. Also there appears to be some Tree of Life plants growing. Do you have some time in the near future to meet with me and my husband to try and figure out how this space can be maintained better? It may need to be bulldozed and then re-started.

This curb is hard to navigate in wheelchair. Not sure if it's the curb or technically the street that's an issue. Curb is between B-Line Trail and Wendy's
