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.

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...

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!

Street repaving request for East Longview Ave. Looking for the 2024 paving schedule, may not be released yet. East Longview needs paving through its full length within Park Ridge, from N. Glenwood West through to N. Glenwood east cross streets. This would accomplish: -Repaving needed overall - Install updated traffic calming bump design replacing current full width bumps. -Stripe the bike path lane stripe as it's part of the E-W bike greenway. And thanks! for placing the stop stripes at the 4-way stop E. Longview and N. Glenwood west by the park. We have a significant issue with motorists running that stop sign by the park entering the neighboorhood. We appreciate your good work.
