A resident reached out to us via Facebook about this handicap on-street parking space that was blocked by plowed snow at the southwest corner of the square, on College Ave. at the intersection of Kirkwood Ave. on Saturday evening, January 26. The snow is likely melted by now but I am reporting this issue for the sake that it be logged.
testing: bird scooters in street a 5th and walnut
I had reported this before and was rudely dismissed. I understand game day traffic, but it has never been like it was Saturday night. I was stuck in traffic for 45 minutes and had to walk on foot for 15 just to get to my apartment. Every street that ran north/south was blocked off by extremely rude officers. None of which had any type of flashlight or beam to direct drivers. I was put at risk by being forced to walk home alone at night and that is unacceptable. That could have very easily turned into something bad, just because local traffic could not turn onto south walnut. This is unacceptable. There is no reason it should take me 45 minutes just to get 15 minutes away from my apartment. there have been other game days where there has been no issue getting from the tailgating fields to my apartment on 20th street.

I parked at this meter today (4/12) just before noon. 3 quarters in and I only had been credited for 15 minutes. I had just enough change to pay for the hour and 10 minutes I needed for my appointment at Fountain Square, so I had to use a card to ensure I had adequate time and didn't get a ticket. Please check this meter for issues.
The Winslow/S. Walnut intersection is such a mess, especially when you're heading west. There is only 1 westbound lane & traffic gets so backed up if someone is trying to turn left to head south on Walnut. Since the straight & left turn lanes are the same now, can the lights be changed? It would be good if only 1 direction goes at a time. Westbound has green light for turning & straight traffic, while eastbound has a red light. Then it reverses. I used to take that route every day coming home from work. Now I go an entirely different way because it's really out of control. People sit there for several rounds of green lights when the person in front is trying to turn left. Please consider this as a solution?
Motorists are confused about which lane to be in going westbound on E. Winslow approaching S. Walnut since there is a solid white line dividing the two westbound lanes of the road. I have seen drivers in the right lane turning left onto southbound Walnut.
The American Flag at the entrance to Blue Ridge, off of Walnut, is upside down.
