314-398 West Kirkwood Avenue

Ever since the 4-way Stop signs were added to the intersection of Kirkwood and Madison, it has become more dangerous for pedestrians to cross Kirkwood. I live at the corner of this intersection and cross several times a day on foot, taking my school to school, shopping, etc. Individual cars may stop but never both cars going in each direction on Kirkwood. We find ourselves in the middle of the intersection constantly with a car stopped going east but another zipping through going west. I understand why the extra Stop signs were added: there were car accidents on occasion. Now thanks to this well-intended addition we can't cross safely as pedestrians because people only think about where THEY'RE going, not that both east and west moving vehicle have to stop at the SAME time to allow pedestrians to cross. So either revert back to having only stop signs going North and South on Madison or add a traffic light. This intersection has become infinitely more dangerous for residents and children who don't always look BOTH ways before crossing the street. This is URGENT especially now that school has started.

Now that the students are coming back, can the protected left turn signal going from Union St to Tenth be turned back on? Thanks.
City Construction Projects

I just took possession of a home I bought as sidewalk construction on E. Morningside was being completed. The home is at 4021 E. Morningside. It is my understanding the City redid part of the driveway after having to destroy it for sidewalk work. Unfortunately it appears a corner of the drive (front right / SE) is already cracking/chipping/spalling (see photo). I'm requesting the City patch this up before it continues to flake (not huge now but would like addressed so as not to spread) as an area driven over frequently. Otherwise looks fantastic and very happy with the new sidewalk and drive portion. Great neighborhood addition.

Eastbound automobile traffic on allen st approaching patterson faces a "no turn on red" sign. However, the right turn curb radius there is more than 30 ft, meaning drivers will not only ignore that sign, they will do so at 20mph on a regular basis! Extremely dangerous and frightening for pedestrians in the area. Practically a guaranteed collision for anyone who bikes on the sidewalk there - is that your plan?

When does the city intend on finishing this section of road? Ever since the bridge was completed it doesn't look like any work has been done at all to finish this one bit of road at all, and it's been months! East-West traffic is already a nightmare for this county because of the construction on I-69, Second, and Third Street, and yet the one route that can really act as a good alternate route to help alleviate some of that traffic is hampered by this abandoned project. While the detours tell people to go down towards 11th Street, we all know that way too many people are cutting through the neighborhood where there are plenty of children trying to play outside. This is nothing but ridiculous!

There is no paved sidewalk; it's just a bunch of horribly laid slabs of stone. How was this even allowed, especially in downtown?! This is not wheelchair accessible, and is dangerous to all others.
Please put in a paved sidewalk here so wheelchaired people don't have to turn around and cross the street just to get by.

VERY disappointed in the new sidewalk curbs at 4th and Indiana. The curbs are to high for handicap individuals trying to correct they have made a mess of the new sidewalk areas. One sidewalk has been chipped significantly trying to correct. Very poor job.
