The turn from Smith Road onto 10th street has poor visibility and is reported as being dangerous - could use additional signage or some other way to increase safety.

Several years ago stop signs were briefly installed on 10th at Smith and it was wonderful. Then they were pulled and we never try to make a left on 10th from Smith because it's just too dangerous. Would really love a light here. But stopsigns would be awesome.
The intersection of Smith road and 10th Street has heavy traffic, especially in the morning and during the rush hour. The fact that there is university elementary school nearby the intersection makes the traffic heavier at times. However, the intersection is controlled only by one way stop sign. The fact that around the intersection the road on the 10th Street curves makes the traffic coming from Smith road challenging to turn on the 10th street. I strongly recommend putting traffic lights on that intersection to avoid accidents and relax the traffic around the intersection.
Heading in either direction on N Smith Rd (at the end near E 10th St) the pavement is very rough in the bike lanes, to the point where we often ride our bicycles out in the road, rather than in the bike lane to avoid crashing.
