I witnessed a woman get struck by a pickup truck today at E 3rd and Morningside. This was an accident waiting to happen, as pedestrians and bicyclists on E 3rd Street are constantly risking their lives to cross it. The distance from the crosswalk at Smith Rd to the traffic light at SR 446 is 0.5 miles. (Note, there are also ZERO pedestrian crossing marks at the very busy intersection of 3rd & 446, where people with kids cross to get to Bruester's Ice Creamery.) HUNDREDS of rental units have been built on both sides of 3rd between Park Ridge and 446. A SAFE crossing should be added, with flashers or center island at Park Ridge or Morningside, or a traffic light should be placed at 3rd and Park Ridge.
Overhanging branches from a tree. They hang so low that they strike cars.
Westbound traffic on E Hillside congests at the S Walnut and E Hillside traffic light, which often causes backups and results in traffic blocking the E Hillside and S Washington intersection. Can there be a “do not block intersection” or one of the roadway painted Xs placed at that intersection? This has happened to me numerous times, and I get frustrated and honk, and E Hillside drivers either ignore me, or give me a mean look like this was my fault when they’re blocking the roadway.
Overnight Road Construction at 2nd and Rogers is extremely disruptive to neighbors. Large machinery (jackhammers, trucks with very loud backup signals, etc.) can be heard all hours of the night (most notably around 2:45 am this morning). When there has been construction near Hopewell in the past, the construction team saved "noisy" activities for daylight hours. For whatever reason, that has not been the case for the past week or so.
Yesterday (Thursday 25 Sept) at 5:15pm, a Ford Bronco turned *North* (left) onto Dunn from 10th Street (against the one-way direction), traveled north at a high rate of speed several blocks, and then pulled into the parking lot of 820 N. Dunn. During this illegal maneuver, another car that was traveling south on Dunn (the correct direction) had to pull over to avoid a collision. The driver might not have known he was committing a violation because that intersection is not clearly marked "Do Not Enter". Maybe a sign should be put up there to make sure that careful drivers know it is one-way.
Fiber project cap missing and wire no longer buried. There's at least one other incident of visible wire a couple houses east in the ditch.
The N Walnut St area near N Fritz Dr where the two bump signs have been placed should be repaired as I try to avoid the offset of inches but, other drivers are not patient and feel they can pull on around vs tailgating. Thank you for reviewing lowering the speed if possible in this stretch with neighborhood roads and businesses.
After six weeks, Acuff Rd is still closed- according to the Board of Public Works minutes this was only approved for two weeks. While volumes are not heavy, this is adjacent to a hospital and near a school. Please provide an update on when this road will be opened
There is a full tree right in front of Arby’s east, along E 3rd Street. This tree blocks westbound traffic from view (from the driveway just to the west) until they are too close.
