I would like to know how to go about requesting speed bumps be placed on park ridge rd/bill mallory blvd.. along with local traffic we seem to have a lot of people cutting through from 3rd st and 446.
If I didn't hit the brakes on time, I would have been hit head on by a pickup truck today. Why? This construction barricade that is negligently placed where it obstructs traffic. I was heading north on Rogers approaching Country Club Drive in the left turn lane to turn west onto Country Club. Next thing I know, a big pickup truck is fully across the double yellow in my turn lane because the driver was avoiding this construction sign sitting in the south bound lane. I've had a lot of other times cars have come close to me in the turn lane. This truck was the worst. Considering how much traffic goes south on Rogers despite the construction at Gordon Pike, maybe this sign wouldn't be encouraging bad driving decisions throughout the day. Please move it.
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.
Signage on S. Walnut St. going north from 2nd St. for a block or two is a confusing mess. Multiple "merge left" and "merge right" signs at the same location.
Traffic light at S Patterson and West 2nd continues to malfunction. Northbound traffic was backed up to Allen this morning. The problem is the sensor (camera?) is not picking up cars in the right lane on northbound Patterson so it is not cycling green, until someone pulls into the left turn lane. It cycled four times this morning at 7:30am before turning green for the long line of cars that were backed up. It only went green when the second car in line gave up and pulled into the left turn lane. This is the second time in two weeks I've reported this problem.
Once again this morning, northbound Patterson traffic light was not cycling green at West 2nd. This happens whenever there is a car-length space in between the first and second vehicles stopped at the light. The traffic signals cycled three times without a green light before the second car finally pulled forward and triggered the light to turn green. When will this be fixed?
The intersection of Winslow Rd and Walnut Street Pike need the Right Turn Only sign replaced. After spending a bunch of money redoing that intersection to prevent people going straight or turning left, the Right Turn Only sign was torn down soon after it was put up. The bent up sign was propped up on some wood for a few weeks and now it's laying down too. Almost every time I drive past there I see a car going straight or turning left.
When 4 or more vehicles want to go north on Adams or turn west on Kirkwood traffic backs up quickly when East bound on 3rd . No room for emergency vehicles to get through when busy. Because of the new additions.
Fairview school zone flashing lights not flashing (photo near 9th and rogers). Photo 3:28p today. Due to staggered times for rona mitigation, school dropoff at fairview elem is now nominally 8:35-8:55, and pickup is 3:20-3:40. Additionally, light should flash 15 minutes after pickup and 15 minutes before drop off because parents walking from/to school without their students still typically have student-siblings with them. Also, light should flash whenever there is an afterschool activity. I'm real disappointed this extremely ineffective-by-design approach was chosen instead of appropriately-engineered curb bumpouts! But if this is the bed we made, can we at least getsomeone lying in it when my kids are there.
I think the new construction on Sare Road is making the road very narrow, maybe even narrower than the walking path being put in. Does the new, narrowed road meet the width requirements of the Master Thoroughfare Plan? It seems like it is not wide enough, and should be checked. Thank you.
