There is junk and cars in the yard behind 221 Kennedy Drive. The problem is next door to 2521 N. Fritz Drive.
Thank you for the all-way stop controls at the Fairview/11th intersection south/east of the railway! This has been a huge improvement to the intersection. Can we get a marked crosswalk just south/east of the railway bridge to cross from the north corner to the east corner (as shown on my laughably cartoony mark-up)? I know that this intersection has been considered recently, so there may be a reason why a marked crosswalk was not recommended. But if there is not a good reason, a marked crosswalk here would be so helpful.
There is racist graffiti on the bottom of the train trestle at N Fairview and W 11th.
The intersection could benefit from a white stop bar on the street's south corner. It is a two-way stop and we regularly see drivers run the intersection, without regarding the stop sign. It's possible the stop sign is also partly obscured by nearby tree limbs. But a white stop bar being painted would improve the visibility as well. This intersection is often very busy with car traffic, pedestrians (many children) and pets being walked. An accident is inevitable but could be avoided. The recent stop bars painted nearby under the overpass seems to have improved the traffic flow there. Thank you.
There is a lot of high speed traffic on West 13th Street between Rogers and Maple and I believe it is unsafe for the neighborhood. I live at the intersection of 13th and Fairview with my son who is developmentally disabled, so it is even more concerning for me to have cars zipping by at speeds far too high for residential areas. I believe a 4-way stop would solve the problem and request that you consider this.

One of our bus drivers stated there are low hanging grape vines that are unavoidable in the area of N Fairview St between 7th & 11th St. They stated it is a hazard, especially if buses driving through have the roof hatch open.
The southbound bike lane ends too early right before the light. I was riding my bike along the road here and when it ended I didn’t know where to go because I was squeezed into car traffic turning right, however I wanted to go left, so I tried going up to the crosswalk with a walk signal to do a box turn. Whenever I did this the right turn car traffic was too close to the curb which pressed me into it as well and it caused me to hit the curb and I lost my balance and went over the curb, breaking my arm.
