I've lived in this neighborhood for over 20 years, and the city put a hazard sign on the sidewalk months/years ago, but nothing else has been done to correct the problem, which can be quite dangerous at night
I was walking along the North side of 3rd st with my children and found the railing here was easy to move and break. I can see there were a few stablizing posts but the are not working. It is broken and unsafe and any adult who doesn't know this and leans on this or tips into it could easily fall onto 3rd st. Please fix asap
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.
The signs giving instructions for the back-in parking should have the diagram (map) rotated 180 degrees. The standard for such diagrams is to have the direction of movement going UP the page, not down. Also, the parking spaces are shown on the right side of the diagram; it looks like you are instructed to front into spaces on the right (the small arrows pointing down are hard to notice, while the up-&-right arrow is large).
I met this morning with Mr. Nathan Bell (812-679-7436) who resides at 831 S Ransom Lane. Mr. Bell expressed concern about no speed limit signs along Ransom Lane between 2nd Street and Allen Street as this is a school bus corridor with safety concerns for his children and those of his neighbors. His formal request: install posted speed limit signs along Ransom Lane between 2nd Street and Allen Street.
A new walkway and rail was installed in 2020 along Rogers Road to make it safer for children to walk to school. Shortly after it was completed a tree fell and damaged the railing for a bridge which is about 15 feet above Jackson Creek. The tree was removed but the railing was not repaired, it was simply wrapped with caution tape. This may have been adequate temporarily but it has been left this way for over a year. This is unsafe and an eyesore. Can you please arrange to have this properly repaired?
Mike Morris (917-538-5927) called about a tree that fell on the multi-use path handrail on Rogers, just east of High. He mentioned it happened months ago and wanted to know when it will be repaired.
At 704 N. Park Ridge Road Ms. Kaye Hill reports that the sidewalk in front of her house is sinking and is adjacent to a storm drain. Sidewalk sink is helping to collect water and contribute to some flooding from recent rains. There are green and orange paint marks on the sidewalk there and it may already be on the list for repair. Please contact Kaye and take a look at the site to determine what can be done and advise Kaye. Thank you.
The sidewalk on N Lincoln between 15th and 16th has been completely torn up by tree roots. It’s unsafe and unusable for someone with a wheelchair or stroller.
Large semi (red cab) towing longer than usual flatbed failed to make turn from Rogers to high and hit the street light, which almost fell over, now severely damaged, and possibly hazardous. Happened at 4 pm today July 13. Presumably there to collect construction equipment on high st.
