Inaccessible Parking
917 W Cardinal CT
- Case Date:
- 1/5/2014
There is a parking space on Cardinal Ct next to #921 that I use when I can't get in our driveway (I have a disability), but the snow plows have been piling the snow there. It also creates an obstacle for the mailman. Another place the snow got piled in the last storm was in front of our and our other neighbor's mailboxes, so that our mailman had to get out and climb over the mound of snow to deliver our mail, for a week or two after the last snow storm. I hate to complain, especially when there's a storm and a lot of extra work to do, but this seems dangerous for him. We live on a culdesac so there are other places the snow could be piled instead of these two spots, which would help us and our mailman greatly. Thank you for all you do!

Early morning on Monday 1/6/14 a city snow plow somehow got his blade extended past the curb at the front of my property and plowed up as much as 30 to 40 SF of sod from the area between the back of the curb and the sidewalk. I suppose legally this area is city ROW, but it will still need to be repaired come next spring.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Traffic Suggestions
411 S Woodscrest DR

Today I was at the intersection of Woodscrest and E Third, and the signal light was blinking red for north-south traffic and yellow for east-west traffic. I was traveling north on Woodscrest. From this side if the intersection, it is virtually impossible to tell (in daylight) that the traffic on Third has a blinking yellow -- meaning they DO NOT have to stop. From Woodscrest, with a blinking red, it could easily be misinterpreted as a 4-way stop!
In addition, as I sat there waiting for an opportunity to turn left, I watched several cars on Third stop as if they did have a red blinker. This happened sometimes in only one lane, while someone else zoomed by in the other lane. Or traffic would stop heading east, but the cars heading west just drove on through.
I just waited, knowing the drivers on Third had no obligation to stop. Then a car came up behind me and honked at me several times because I didn't go into the intersection. In fact, when I finally decided just to turn right and then circle back, I saw the car behind me just pull out in front of a car that was, rightfully, driving through heading west.
I have often discussed with my husband the stupidity of having a traffic signal that requires the driver to be able to know what the OTHER traffic lane's signal is, rather than just seeing and obeying his OWN signal. The result is that the driver on the red side could, and often does, assume that the driver on the other road will stop. What other traffic sign/signal/light requires a driver to see what SOME OTHER DRIVER is supposed to do? I'll answer that -- none!
But enough of my rant -- in this location, it is not really possible to tell what the other signal says. At least during daylight hours, if the signal isn't working, you should probably make it default to red blinking in both directions.
Thanks,
Jeannette Smedberg

It's actually 411 E. University St. Today I found "ADHD" spray painted on the apron of my driveway. Several months ago (which I also reported online but heard nothing about) someone spray painted something in blue on my limestone retaining wall facing the sidewalk.
