117 S. Heritage Rd. This picture shows how the traffic jammed at the conner where the vehicles parked on the street. I am happy to meet the Mayor this morning at Farmers Market and showed her all the pictures I sent to you. Yesterday friends gathered discuss this hazardous situation at my driveway, we saw some garden workers carrying their tools walking from Morningside toward 3rd street to work. Why are you doing this? We don’t want park our pickup truck and trailer at Heritage to block the traffic. What a consideration! Even garden workers have the sense of responsibility. The city officers didn’t prepared ahead of time to prevent the dangerous situation, ignored the fact there ought to be heavy traffic on Heritage Rd. Even all the companies saying there’s no Detour sign, City didn’t direct drivers to use Heritage Rd. This is intentionally created a hazardous situation for all the residents in the city. The Mayor promised to look into the case. But on the safe side I am going to contact my lawyer, in case God blinks his eyes, some tthing terrible happens.

It seems like something has changed with the signal at Third and Smith. If you were on Smith, the light would change soon after you came to a stop especially when there’s little traffic (early morning for example). Now, it takes several minutes for the light to change and allow the Smith Road traffic to go even in light traffic times. This causes Smith Road to be even more backed up than usual. Wanted to see if ot could be set like it used to be. Thanks!

Hello Joe and Street Dept. staff. We sure appreciate you adding the new strips to the speed bumps on E. Longview Ave. Unfortunately one and maybe a second have come unglued. Sorry to see it and wanted to inform you ASAP. Thanks again for the action!

paint on the speed bumps has faded along Longview and the speed bumps are difficult to see. It would be great if they could be repainted. Really all of Longview needs repaving, but I know that isn't happening this year and it would be helpful if the painting could happen sooner rather than later to increase the visibility of those bumps.

Street repaving request for East Longview Ave.
Looking for the 2024 paving schedule, may not be released yet.
East Longview needs paving through its full length within Park Ridge, from N. Glenwood West through to N. Glenwood east cross streets. This would accomplish:
-Repaving needed overall
- Install updated traffic calming bump design replacing current full width bumps.
-Stripe the bike path lane stripe as it's part of the E-W bike greenway.
And thanks! for placing the stop stripes at the 4-way stop E. Longview and N. Glenwood west by the park.
We have a significant issue with motorists running that stop sign by the park entering the neighboorhood. We appreciate your good work.

Park Ridge neighborhood: Partnered with the traffic calming bumps are stakes with reflectors to bring driver's attention to the speed bumps. Nearly all of the stakes are missing the reflectors or the reflectors are damaged. Some of the pairs of stakes have one of the stakes missing like in front of my house. (A lawn service damaged it and removed it).
So please survey and replace the missing reflectors and a couple of the missing stakes. The stakes with no reflectors appear dangerous. Like "Games of Thrones" dangerous. It was odd at the conclusion of the 2022 Morningside repaving, that the new version of traffic calming bumps was installed (thanks), but the stakes were ignored in terms of reflectors. We appreciate your attention on this item.
