There is a tent set up under the Madison Street RR overpass between W. 11th and W. 14th. The neighborhood does not want homeless people anywhere nearby. Please look into this.
There are some new safety concerns since the "Relato" building opened next to the multi-use path between Pete Ellis and the bypass on 7th Street. First, there's a conflict point where the garage exits to 7th street. Cars are already pulling quickly across the path towards the street, while bike traffic doesn't necessarily slow for the blind corner of the garage exit either. I've included a photo of a location where this is handled better. This is from the new development on the old K-Mart lot which also has a garage that immediately crosses a bike path. At that location, green boxes with white chevrons appear where the bike and car traffic cross, indicating to both parties that it's a conflict point. ------ The second safety concern is where the multi-use path takes right-angle turn around the corner of the Relato. This used to be an empty field with great sight lines and now those sight lines are blocked. At this corner I have already seen what could have been a couple near collisions due to the shortened sight lines. A treatment that could help here would be what was done at the right angle turn going into the bypass underpass tunnel-- Add a solid center line going around the corner to indicate that parties in both directions should stay in their lane going around the corner. I feel that treatment has made the underpass corner safer and I think it would help signal safer behavior here, too. Thanks!
Hello- Car blocking the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd Sts 11/6/23 7:33pm IL plate: ZZM439 With the time change it's a little more difficult for me to get a good picture, but I'll keep sending these so you all so you can keep tabs on how regularly cars are parked in this bike lane and maybe figure out something to do about it. thanks again!
Active construction site with no visible permit present. Alleys have been blocked off in both directions. Are there % greenspace requirements for new construction? It appears they have dugup the entire lot. Are there onsite parking requirements for the number of tenants expected? The on-street parking places in this neighborhood are already full of cars. Is there a height restriction? Will there be or has there been an opportunity for public comment about any proposal for this site? Will the number of parking passes issued be limited to the actual number of residents? This all seems a bit third-world...
At 7:26 am on 11/31/2023, a motorist in a dark BMW nearly ran me over as I was crossing the street. The vehicle was traveling about 50 MPH based on my calculation (speed=distance/time.) This is not the first near miss that I have had crossing the street or backing out of my driveway. I have sent in requests for a speed hump as motorist travel north and south between 3rd and 5th much faster than 25 MPH. I have not heard back from anyone. Please let me know that you have at least seen this uReport ticket. I tried to submit this report in the "Close Call" section more than once and it does not work.
A couple of the street lights on the Polly Grimshaw east of SR 46 Trail and directly behind East Bay apartments are burned out.
Storm drains are covered with grass cuttings.
Many street lights along the Polly Grimshaw trail are no working. The westernmost 2, the one west of the intersection with PEte Ellis, and all of them east of Pete Ellis. Some have dark lenses, and some are broken. Thank you for keeping our trail nice.
There was a pretty severe car wreck from a car that left Dunn St and ended up in our back yard. A lot of bulky debris remains that won't fit in our trash can. How do you suggest we get it removed? It's close the storm drain.
This trash has been here all week, can something be done?
