Both Mon. and Tues. (today) the wait to get through the light at E Moores Pike and High Street was extremely long. I travel west on Moores Pike/Hillside every weekday between 8:30am and 9:00am. Today the traffic was backed up all the way to the Moores Pike Roundabout. It \probably took at least 5 cycles of the stop light before I was through that intersection. Note: The last time I reported a similar situation at this stop light, it was a bad sensor. Thank you.

I'm sure that 90% of what you recieve are complaints. In this regard instead of complaining, I have an idea for a more efficient and less dangerous form of traffic onto 3rd street from S. Muller Parkway, heading West. People turn through the 3rd St. turning lane risking danger and a ticket and also any dangerous U-Turns in the middle of the Intersection of 3rd St. and S. Cory Lane.
I have to deal with this pressure when needing to turn west onto 3rd St. almost every day because I worked down 3rd St. west and I live off of S. Basswood Drive. One time I got pulled over by a sheriff for going through the 3rd St. turning lane and recieved a warning, luckily.
Now, the cross-section of 3rd St. and S. Muller Parkway only allows traffic to go From 3rd St. on to S. Muller Parkway. I know that is because the road to S. Muller Parkway crosses with the road to 3rd St. west which would obviously cause collisions. According to the Google earth map, the distance is 720 Ft. to the Intersection of 3rd and S. Cory Lane From S. Muller Parkway. I have a proposal to avoid crossing the turning lane and dangerous U-Turns in the intersection for heading west on 3rd St. (Also saves gas and driving distance of course.)
I created a plan in the diagram Image from the street map I aquired that I uploaded to show you for an example of the proposal. This Google map is very outdated, but it gives you a good prospective of the idea. All of this should work. There is enough space where the very wide curb(street gap) resides inbetween street directions for the proposed turn-offs, as there is for the turn-off heading west on 3rd St.
Turn-off Option 1 only 172 Ft. down 3rd St. East: Reduce 3rd St. West Turning lane by half and add a turning lane on 3rd St. East wilst dividing the width of each lane Equally. After reducing the curb size, a thinner middle curb remains dividing them still. The turning lane off of 3rd St. west is relatively long as you'll see. Longer than necessary for a small neighborhood road, so I figure option 1 is feasible.
Turn-off Option 2 Only 265 Ft.(maybe give or take 30 Ft.) down 3rd St. East connecting to the Gas Station. People can choose to turn into the gas station and out or make a u-turn.
Thank you very much,
Eliot
P.S. It was fun putting this together to present to you.
Oh btw, as a side note, it would be great if you expanded the Report Details Description dialog boxes in the form scripts, because I can't see what I write. Instead I wrote everything out in notepad, copied and pasted.

Hello! Is it possible to have the vegetation and weeds cut back from the north side of Rohrer as you approach Sare Road? Cars come flying down the hill, and if you are stopped turning left (East) from Sare onto Rohrer, the overgrown weeds not only obscure the view, but also are so tall and plentiful, you can't even see the guard rail hiding behind them. This is a dangerous intersection made more treacherous because of bad line of sight looking east, up the hill. Thanks so much!
