Bushes, weeds and other foliage make it very dangerous to turn on to Woodyard from Loesch
I frequently drive through the intersection of Hillside and Henderson, often approaching it from the south (on Henderson). I hope the city can consider putting a "No Right on Red" sign there. This intersection has students from Templeton and South High School as pedestrians and cyclists (and from South as drivers). When you are turning right/east from Henderson onto Hillside, you do not have visibility until you have pulled forward into the crosswalk across Henderson. Because of the difficulty seeing if you have a clearing, I can imagine someone wanting to speed into a right turn...but it is a very populated corner with Feast there and apartments and Templeton close by, and pedestrians in the crosswalk could be at risk. I have counseled my daughter, who is learning to drive, not to try to turn right until the light turns green (and to wait to signal till then). If you have your turn signal on, people behind you can get impatient...a stressful situation for a new driver. And since there is a lot of traffic going to and from the high school, this intersection has a high concentration of new drivers. A friend of hers on a bike was hit last year at that intersection.
Many students cross 3rd st to catch the bus from summerhouse. Either by third street apartments or Mr hibachi. The road is hilly enough that visibility is not ideal and traffic is increasing in this area plus cars go fast to and from brown county. It would be ideal to have a cross walk and signage in this area.
Large number of humans cross SR 45 from the bus stop near the Post Office to Fountain Park everyday, no crosswalks anywhere near even at the corner!
We have had multiple incidents on our street due to people driving too fast and visibility issues for drivers coming out of E Allendale Road. A car flipped and landed at the entrance of Barkley Square apartments, a car went off road striking the corner of a carport and edge of a house, a woman was killed after striking a moving vehicle and most recently a young woman struck our walnut tree at the edge of our driveway suffering a concussion and a broken arm. Totaled her car and the other driver’s car was damaged badly but her airbags seemed to have prevented injury. We, as well as our neighbors have had to replace our mailboxes several times. It is a matter of time before someone on the sidewalk is struck and killed. I have not seen police stopping speeders on our street for some time. I believe some type of traffic calming devices would help as no one drives the 30 mph speed limit on this road.
Would like to see pedestrian signage or repainting of crosswalk, added reflectors. Have seen increase in pedestrians since more residential built and football games. Have seen pedestrians struggle to cross street and has concerns of accidents that could happen near our business.
This car was driving super dangerously and illegally. They were stopped at the red light next to us, and just decided they did want to wait anymore and blasted through the light and nearly hit the car ahead. They kept swerving in between lanes, revving and tailing cars like two feet behind them. I’d keep an eye out for them.
Gray RAV 4/SUV parked on Eastside Drive right up to Maxwell Lane on west side of the road. The car is blocking visibility and turning safety.
Hired mechanics and car detailing staff working on cars in the driveway and on the side street. There were 3 trucks delivered for repair this week and parked in front of this house. Major car repair shop business going on for years and remains untouched by the city.
See case #185188. Was there any discussion about making 12th Street one-way? After football and basketball games, traffic is horrendous, and food delivery vehicles speed down the street in both directions at all hours. Ideally, you would remove on-street parking and install a protected bike lane in its place. That would give more space for two-lane car traffic. Or keep the on-street parking, add a protected bike lane, and use what is left for one-way vehicle traffic. If you make it one-way west, then the fire trucks could use it when they are hurrying to a fire. Please consider this. Seriously.
