We patrol Crestmont area often and find many kids out playing on the side walks and street. There is also a lot of speeding traffic through there. We are requesting signs be put up, especially around the area that the new park is being built. Signs saying to slow down, children at play. We would like signs in several places in Crestmont, as there are many kids everywhere, if possible.
Allen st greenway. Eastbound at walnut, the beg button is AWOL. It was too far from the roadway to be pushed by a cyclist anyways. The two-stage crossing (beg button in the refuge island) is worth nothing to me because I can only push it if my kids (trailer) are hanging out in the southbound traffic lanes. There is literally no traffic calming for northbound traffic on walnut here, which is still largely unwilling to yield even when the lights are in operation. The stop signs at Washington and Lincoln are facing the wrong direction. It is important to make allen inconvenient to drivers, but it is also essential to make it super convenient (and safe) for cyclists. The routes through bryan park suck for cyclists. Just reiterating a bunch of notes in case excellence ever becomes an interest of the city. Thanks!
There is a high need for a crosswalk and a traffic light at the Liberty drive entrance/exit into the area located at 2088 S Liberty Drive. An adult high school, The Excel Center, is opening in this location. Turning left onto Liberty is very dangerous at this spot as cards are often going quite fast around a curved road. As the director of the school, I am requesting a traffic light and cross walk at this area. Thank you!
Not so much excessive growth as generally trashed yard-- citizen called in about neighbor's yard filled with trash.
The pedestrian crossing at the intersection of W. Gourley Pike & Kinser Pike is unmarked and thus invisible for oblivious passing motorists leading to a number of scary crossings for me. The speed limit is posted 30 mph but Northbound traffic often streams downhill from 17th at speeds more like 40 mph. Despite the danger crossing in my power wheelchair with velocitized drivers streaming in from SR 46 on the other side as well, it is the safest alternative with more severe problems on the Arlington bridge/Colonial Crest route reported separately.
The pedestrian overpass across SR46 at Arlington School has a very rough alignment with W Gourley Pike. Also, the sidewalk leading toward Colonial Crest and Kinser Pike is discontinuous and there is a blind curve on Gourley Pike at that point making the use of this pedestrian route quite hazardous for me in my power wheelchair.
The sidewalk South of Gourley Pike along N. Kinser Pike has a staircase that prevents the use of this route in my power wheelchair.
The footpath on the NW corner of College Ave & Old 37 has an extremely steep section approaching the curb cuts designating the College Ave. pedestrian crosswalk. It is quite unusable for power wheelchairs. Moreover, the lack of a side path along Old SR 37 means coming from Gourley Pike, I must approach the intersection with my chair in the motorway running against oncoming traffic. Of necessity, I must operate in the center of the lane keeping away from the soft shoulder. This is potentially quite hazardous for me given the 40+ mph cross- & turning-traffic and the concrete trucks that frequent this intersection.
