Bloomfield drive and Oakdale dr intersection
Bloomfield drive and Oakdale dr intersection
Stoplight and pedestrian signal where walkers (sidewalk) can cross New 37 to head toward Cascades Park. Pedestrian cross button and walkers signal in white light do not work.
Your location line deletes my location information when I drop to this screen. Tell your IT guys. It’s pedestrian crossing at intersection of SR 37 and new SR 37. The crossing button that should activate the pedestrian crossing sign and delay traffic for walkers doesn’t work. You have to walk with the traffic and hope that everyone sees you.
Caller said the street sign for S. Park AVE and E. Hillside DR is being blocked by an overgrown tree.
The side of S. Park Avenue that lead up to the dead end does not get plowed or salted, making it extremely difficult to get out of our driveway, especially in this deep snow. This is very upsetting because I have now felt unsafe leaving my house due to this problem for the past 4 days. Unacceptable.
Construction of new apartments caused rain to pool on road ( very poor drainage at new site) and many new large potholes along park square drive. Also, flooding occurred during rains that has never happened before at entrance to new apartments under construction.
6am, the light that stays green for Allen st at this intersection is extremely long and there is never another car coming from Allen.
This light is on a timer that is disproportionate to the traffic that flows on patterson. It is constantly backed up to rogers during high traffic times and is green while no cars need to exit fairview.
Light sensors need calibrated. Stops Patterson traffic with no traffic on Fairview.
The signal at this intersection was set for a number of years so that it was traffic activated. Recently, this has been changed so that that light switches to red on Patterson (for quite a long time!) even when there are no cars waiting on Fairview - which is almost all the time. This holds up traffic on Patternson, which often backs up, sometimes to a depth of six or seven cars, and occasionally enough that the last cars in line can't make it through the intersection until the next cycle of the light. The city did this a few years ago with this light, only to change the light back to traffic-activated status after a few months. Has the lesson of that time now been forgotten?? Time to go back to things the way they were a couple of months ago! Leave well enough alone, people!
