It would be helpful to have a west-pointing "One Way" sign installed on the east side of the Lincoln/Cottage Grove intersection and maybe even a "Do Not Enter" sign to alert drivers intending to turn right that they are about to encounter one-way traffic headed west. Currently, there is a west-pointing "One Way" sign on the NW corner of the intersection, but (ironically) view of it is mostly blocked by a "Do Not Enter" sign on the SW corner of the same intersection. Drivers on Lincoln who approach this intersection and who are unfamiliar with the street directions in this neighborhood could (do) easily turn right and head east against the traffic direction, formally in commission of a moving violation but it seems unfair to ticket them when the street layout is not well-communicated to the drivers. Note: there might have been a sign in this location in the past, but there have been some ADA-sidewalk projects in the area recently that necessitated temporary removal of signs, and any signs laying about could then have been picked up by a member of one of the local fraternities, notorious for sign theft in the neighborhood.
Smelled natural gas in this area the last two mornings around 8 am.
Case #206386 clarification: there are two E/W alleys that are between and parallel to 9th and 10th. The problem is at the more northern alley, the one closer to 10th Street. There was a parking lot for the church there until the giant building was put up on Grant.
Pretty significant hazard. The "Reverse angle only" parking sign has finally succumbed to the blow from a bad parker and is now lying across the sidewalk. It's still firmly enough attached to the base that it's not possible to pick it up and move it parallel to the curb. The other similar signs on the same block are also showing signs of fatigue
On our ring camera we caught a group of men rip the sign out of the ground and leave it on our lawn. We are unsure what to do and wondering if someone can come fix it.
There is puddle of dirt and filth that settles in the alleyway between Lincoln and Grant Street. It is a continuing struggle.
See case #204982. Response was dismissive. "..will be compliant when paving is completed..". *When* will that happen? This year? The areas surrounding the ramps are DANGEROUS, especially at Grant/Cottage Grove. Why start a project if it cannot be completed at the time?
The east/west alley to the south of the building is overgrown and we can not access our garage enterance.
20 feet of sidewalk along 8th Street is degraded and in need of replacement.
