Resident reports a dumpster parked in an area clearly marked with a "No Parking" sign on the street. Dumpster creates an obvious roadway hazard. Location provided is approximate. Dumpster was delivered evening of July 24.
Roll off dumpster in the middle of the street on the side that says no parking coming up the hill

on Rogers/Madison, where it changes name and crosses over the railroad tracks just north of 11th street, the bike lane is on the uphill side of the street. so at the apex, it switches from one side of the street to the other. at this switching point, we have lost our 'dashed line' merge zones. i am hoping that someone from Engineering will go look at the facts on the ground and validate its correctness. when it was conceptually designed back in 2011, i thought "gee they're gonna have to do a good job of signing that if it's not going to be a nightmare for cyclists to merge into traffic". and then when it was *finally* implemented around 2017-2019, it was just striped lines indicating that there is a merge. but when the bridge was re-decked in 2020-2021, they repainted it wrong. and subsequent generations of painting have each made it worse, to where the southbound merge zone is completely missing and cyclists are directed to stay in the abruptly-ending bike lane on the dangerous high speed downhill segment. and the northbound merge zone has been reduced to about 30 feet, again, at the wrong place for the merge.
sidewalk on west side of college ave, about 300ft south of 3rd street. this barricade was in place on july 1, 8, 15, and 22. this photo is from july 22. see ureport 203907. on july 22, after taking this photo, i moved the barricade into the adjacent parking space. i'm not sure what it looks like today (july 24). it seems like Duke never re-opened the sidewalk when they finished their work?? is that why they were allowed to close it for 3 straight weeks? thanks! - Greg
This is an all-way stop with marked stop signs and crosswalks. Unfortunately, many drivers (mostly on Winslow going East or West) do not stop at all. And there are quite a few that don't even slow down if they presume no vehicles are close enough to hit them for speeding through unabated. A few anemic attempts to place police near the intersection at haphazard intervals hasn't really had a beneficial impact. This intersection is very busy and is a frequent crossing for pedestrians and cyclists along with school children. I have seen other communities that have purchased solar powered flashing stop signs that significantly increase attention to the sign. Or, to monitor the scope of the issue, and maybe levy some tickets, can one of the mobile police observation hubs (I see them at the Seminary Square Kroger parking lot) be placed at the intersection. I don't ever feel safe coming any direction in or out of my own neighborhood. With all of the out of town students and faculty returning soon, the problem isn't going to get any better. This has been a pervasive issue for the roughly 8 years I've lived in this neighborhood.
One of the baracades from the new convention center build (in the back of our Music academy) was placed in a way where it is blocking access to one of our parking spaces. It seems to be placed outside of the gate that they erected and not on their property. It would be great if you could have them move it over so that we can access are parking. Also, there is a lot asphalt debris being left on our property as well from digging around that area.
