Traffic Related Complaints
2408 E 4th ST
- Case Date:
- 8/20/2003
Laura Lee form the Parking Dept., came in to let us know that the Post Office contacted her in regardes to citizens putting down gravel to make a parking pull of at 2408 E. 4th St. The Post Office is having trouble delivering the mail to this area due to the parking. They want the pull off measured and then the residents notified that they can no longer park there.
Our street, North Fritz Drive, is receiving a significant amount of drive-through traffic of people trying to skip the busy traffic light at the Bypass. Myself, my wife and my 16 year old daughter have all been in multiple very close calls recently from drivers going between 35 and 45 miles per hour on a neighborhood street where the speed limit should be no more than 20 mph. We strongly suggest that speed bumps be placed on Fritz Drive asap. It is clear many drivers coming West on the Bypass are going North on Dunn St, into Matlock Heights, then flying down Fritz Drive to get to North Walnut. Please don't hesitate to contact myself, C. Samson May, at (812)361-2213 or my wife, Blake Warren-May, at (812)361-4399. Eric Greulich is a close friend of ours. Thank you.
The East/West bound traffic routinely run stop lights at this intersection. Often the north and south bound drivers must wait well into their green signal for it to be safe to cross. The same concern is there for bicycles and pedestrians.
One of the stop signs is missing at the corner of Clark and 7th. It is the sign on the east side of the intersection that stops westbound traffic. The other 3 signs appear to be intact.
The view to the west is blocked by vegetation when going north on Walnut Pike at Winslow. Trimming the bush and lower limbs would help with this problem.
Road Conditions have destroyed the suspension system of my vehicle. Construction on Jordon from the North East corner of Third and Jordan to the parking garage and nearly impassable and have been this way since Jordon was reopened to traffic. Driving 10mph didn't even help. I want my suspension system replaced due to negligence by the City.
Since Catalent is using Twin Lakes/Sportsplex for additional employee parking, traffic on W 2nd St. has become very heavy and SLOW, especially at shift changes. Are there any plans to add traffic lanes or additional turn lanes to 2nd St and/or the entrance/exit to Twin Lakes? Catalent is currently adding another 600+ positions, which will probably add more vehicles and slower travel times through this area.
Bushes blocking line of sight and stop sign.
There should not be tall objects in the center islands of roundabouts. Drivers need to be able to see what is coming.
