Noticed the iu library crosswalk on 10th is getting worked on? Our class last semester picked problem areas in town and about half of us picked that crosswalk as super awful needing to have a overpass or a pedestrian signal, etc. Please please tell me it's getting fixed finally.
Intersection at South Rogers and Chambers is often blocked for vehicles entering or exiting Chambers. Blocked traffic is due to close proximity to Rockport and South Rogers intersection. Please paint white X or similar markings on pavement at Chambers and South Rogers intersection to keep vehicles off of this 3 way intersection.
I have speeding cars using my street (East Park Lane) as a shortcut from/to Smith Rd to 3rd St/Pete Ellis. This will only get worse when the new IU hospital opens. We have new families with children walking and biking this street. There isn't a sidewalk and this isn't about the amount of traffic. It is a road psychology issue. An example: delivery and lawn-care trucks w/trailers use out street to avoid the speedbumps on Morningside and Longview. Thank you for your attention.
Motorists speed down this section of road, often 20mph OVER the posted 25mph speed limit. Safety is a concern, for my child and for other pedestrians. A speed bump would fix this issue!
Cars racing late at night again around park ridge east now than park ridge is resurface. Concerned traffic count on morningside was not accurate as traffic was much lower when park ridge was under construction lately and not appealing to drive through
People absolutely FLY down our road (west 8th). Multiple family pets have been hit and kids are always trying to play outside but have to worry about cars not paying attention. Speed bumps need to be put in.
There is a new "Domino's Pizza" on the corner of Walnut and 12th, and the delivery drivers are speeding down 12th street at night, compounding a recurrent problem in this neighborhood. There are no speed limit signs (I assume it should be 25 mph, as per City Code), no speed bumps and no stop signs for the five (!) blocks stretching from Walnut to Indiana. The City should at least install a stop sign at 12th/Lincoln and/or one at 12th/Grant to slow down the traffic on this residential street. Please help keep our streets.
We live on the only road in Sherwood Oaks that has no side walks for pedestrians to use for safety when walking/biking. The issue with this is we live on a main thoroughfare to Sherwood Oaks Park, Rodgers Park, Clear Creek Trail, Childs Elementary, and Jackson Creek Elementary. We need better signs, and speed reduction devices such as speed bumps to slow down traffic that speed through our area and are a hazard to all that walk to the above places including children. The refusal to make this street part of the park green way and safer is absolutely absurd. The past excuses from the city included that we are a dead end with no speeding tickets or wrecks, which is why the city has refused to take action in the past. Please do not wait for someone to get injured or die on this road before you make it safer for all that live and use it for recreation.
The stop sign at Allendale & Bainbridge is constantly driven thru without cars stopping. It’s frightening when we have so many kids in the neighborhood, & it is a school bus stop. With school starting again, it’s a concern. I’ve seen numerous cars just whip around a school bus there without hardly slowing down. I also think it would be really helpful to have speed bumps on Eeliston Dr., on the way to the park. We have so many pedestrians on the street, and no sidewalk.
I am requesting that a speed bump and a flashing speed indicator be installed in a location along W Woodlawn Ave, somewhere between S Weatherstone Ln and E Wilson St. The speed limit on S Woodlawn Ave is 25 MPH, but the average vehicle's speed in front of my approximate address is closer to 45 MPH, with many vehicles regularly reaching speeds over 60 MPH and even 80 MPH at least daily. The reason why the speed limit is 25 MPH on S Woodlawn Ave is because of its proximity to Indiana University foot and bike commuters, Bryan Park, the Bryan Park Pool, a bus stop, and Union Elementary School. In addition to these elements, S Woodlawn Ave is also hilly which contributes to dangers associated with limited lines of sight between vehicles and pedestrians. Being a thoroughfare between Hillside Ave and streets north of it, traffic naturally flows faster than 25 MPH especially with the only stop sign between 1st St and Hillside Ave being at Sheridan Ave. Drivers frequently “floor” their vehicles through S Woodlawn Ave, and the police speed enforcement seems to never pull anyone over for speeding. For the above reasons, the current traffic pattern on S Woodlawn Ave is incompatible with its intended use. Installing a speed bump and a flashing speed indicator (for both northbound and southbound traffic) will hopefully greatly reduce thoroughfare excessive speeds. I am worried that this is a formula for someone to get hurt and it is only a matter of time unless the City does something about this. Please at least conduct a traffic study. Thank you for receiving my note, and I will be following up on this.
