Overgrown vegetation taking over sidewalk
Overgrown vegetation taking over sidewalk
The stop signs are not visible enough, I scooter and have been almost hit three times this month at this intersection. The signs and other streets aren't visible enough.
Why are the street cuts so poorly done and do called repaired 2nd street. Done are not bad and others are terrible. I understand that a new road is supposed to going in, but our cars are getting beat up. Also since when does the city allow patching concrete sidewalks with asphalt? I assume all that is coming out to be replaced with concrete again. I assume we’re having lovely bike lanes incorporated into this new construction project that very few people will use. Thank you for using our tax money to a fullest extent of your dreams.
Couple weeks ago, some contractor dug up 7~9 holes on kinser pk between rosewood and acuff rd. I think they were installing natural gas pipe. They buried it and filled it with concrete but never finished it with asphalt on top as concrete wasn't filled all the way to the top. (The white patches in the picture) It's very bumpy when you drive over it. I am concerned with two points, 1. They just paved Kinser Pk not long ago and this is going to deteriate the road that city just re-paved if they don't fix it soon. 2. People are resorting to driving on the other side of the road to avoid the holes, including school buses. This is not a safe situation. Again, I would have thought they would come back and finished it quickly but it's been many weeks and I am starting to be concerned. Thanks.
The traffic light at S. Walnut Street and South Drive keeps turning red for Walnut traffic without any vehicle or pedestrian traffic on South Drive. It stays red for a very long time. This is weekdays, weekends, evenings, 7:30am this Sunday morning. It's very disruptive to traffic.
Light pattern needs looked at! Always red on n walnut st. with NO traffic coming from a dead end south st. Needs adjusted to traffic patterns!!
The repairs on the street cuts near Walker st and west 2nd are very poorly done. No excuse for drivers having to slow to 10 miles per hour to go through these multiple street cuts, to avoid damaging their vehicle.
Several cars being repaired by outside workers. Now at 8:48pm someone is stripping paint off a car and making a very continuous loud noise while blocking the side walk. At least 5 old cars being repaired in front of this house all day and during the night.
At the intersection of 3rd and College, for the 3rd Street eastbound lane, the "no turn on red" sign has been covered (I think for several weeks now), seemingly related to the convention center construction. This feels like a mistake? I don't know how the construction at the convention center makes it ok to now turn right on red. Can the sign be uncovered so that drivers are reminded, "No right on red"? Thank you for your time.
This comment is for the engineering department regarding proposed improvements to the intersection of Smith Road and Morningside Drive. My observation of traffic patterns over several months suggests that the stop signs at the intersection are not the only problem. The terrain on Smith Road, elevation changes, vegetation and sightlines for drivers are contributing factors. For southbound drivers, the railroad overpass obscures visibility until the stop sign can be seen from the McCracken Way entrance to the apartments south of the railroad, although it may not be noticeable to a casual observer because the sign is beyond the crest of a hill. The highest point of Smith Road is north of the Morningside intersection. Many of the offending drivers are commuters who drive on this route frequently and have developed a habit of not stopping at an intersection that typically has no cross traffic. A Stop Ahead warning sign near McCracken Way would alert drivers to the eminent stop sign. More prominent (larger size) stop signs at the intersection on both sides of the street, with two signs facing north and two signs facing south, would command further attention from drivers. Additional amendments to the road surface would signal to those who are visually impaired, with speed cushions and small depressions in the pavement similar to those used on either side of the center line on two lane highways, creating a rumble effect of sound and vibration. An exceptional remedy may be appropriate for an exceptional situation.
