Traffic pattern change at 3rd and Mitchell near campus makes turning west onto 3rd street very dangerous. To pull up far enough to see westbound traffic you are looking out the back windows of the car and can't actively be watching for pedestrians walking east. Also, when cars turn east onto 3rd from Mitchell it completely blocks the view of oncoming traffic for those wanting to turn west onto 3rd.
Anonymous resident complains of trash and excessive growth at this address. The resident also complains of "stuff" in the yard. When asked to clarify "stuff", the resident explained there are various objects to include: a grill that has not been used in awhile in the yard.
Everyday there are dozens of deer that run across this area. Recently some deer have been hit trying to cross 2nd street, around 2nd and Rose. Cars move too quickly down 2nd without paying attention, I believe this area would benefit greatly from a deer crossing sign, speed bump, or stop sign.
overgrown yard, has not been mowed recently
cans at curb, trash in yard
I would like to request a traffic speed study, or at least greater speed limit enforcement, for cars traveling on East Maxwell Lane between Rose Ave and Highland Ave. The posted speed limit is 25 mph, but it's a half-mile straight shot from High Street to Highland Ave, and cars regularly travel well above the speed limit past Maxwell Terrace Apartments and several homes with kids playing outside. Given that Maxwell Lane is a signed bike route that also has a blind hill, I hope something can be done to slow speeders and reduce the possibility of accidents in this area.
Red truck seems to be confusing the walking path between 2nd and Maxwell with a personal parking spot.
