Your Construction sign knock down I just let you know thanks
East 7th is unique in that it is two parallel roads each with its own signage. Stop signs have been installed, removed and reinstalled at various intersections. No where else is there traffic going the opposite direction (west) on both sides of an eastbound vehicular lane. Nor is there another pair of lanes going east with a westbound lane in between them anywhere else in town. The stop signs become more critical due to the additional complexity. Going east the vehicular lanes cannot see their signs. The bike next to me yesterday blew thru every sign while pointing at drivers at the intersections. When the motorized bike, electric scooter etc. keeps going as he did the car driver will instinctively assume the same especially if there isn't a sign visible until the last minute. Delivery trucks, city maintenance vehicles, and trash bins blocking one or the other at times create confusion. Remove the trees and, if a barrier is deemed necessary, plant low bushes.
Cars and buses regularly speed on this street, often exceeding 35 miles per hour. Due to their speed, they are unable to stop at the stop signs—including city buses. I am requesting that a speed limit sign be installed, ideally one that displays drivers’ actual speed (similar to those used in school zones). Our street and its connection to First Street have effectively become an unofficial bypass for east–west and west–east traffic, including city buses. This is a residentially zoned area with pedestrians, cyclists, children, pets, and wildlife. The sidewalks are narrow, and vehicles—especially buses—traveling at high speeds pose a serious risk. I have personally witnessed both buses and cars run stop signs, even when pedestrians, families with baby carriages, and cyclists are present. The cars/buses still don't stop and merely drive around the "obstacles." At a minimum, a visible speed limit sign should be installed—preferably one that tracks and displays speeds.
Please consider a stop sign for northbound S. Fairview St at the intersection of W. Wylie St. Traffic turning left onto Wylie does not have to stop. I have almost been hit head-on when approaching the stop sign (eastbound on W Wylie), especially if a car is parked in front of the corner house (I think it's 700 W Wylie??) because the cars turning left are going too fast and cutting onto the left side of the street.
Could we have increased signage at Atwater and Fess indicating that cross traffic does not stop? This additional sign could be affixed to each of the current stop signs. This location is particularly prone to near-misses as the parking garage invites visitors into town who don't necessarily realize that Atwater is a major East artery for the town.
walk not cleared 322 Jordan
walk not cleared 402, 406, & 408 jordan. Also Atwater, especially the bus stop. This is a habitual problem!
block around Lambda Chi Alpha, Atwater bound by Highland and Ballantine, 3rd Street bound by Highland and Ballantine
400 Block S Jordan has heavy pedestrian traffic and many houses that have not cleared snow at all from sidewalk (403, 405, 409 S Jordan).
walks not cleared 333 highland. note:They clear their own walks but not sidewalk?!
