Woodburn and Grimes street sign down
Woodburn and Grimes street sign down
At the crosswalk from the Rail to Trail to the B-Line trail, by Burger King on the Southside on West Country Club Road. I almost ran over a girl crossing the street. The stop sign is very high and elevated. It is hard to see and very confusing, if you’re not familiar with what it is. I didn't know I was supposed to stop. I have no problem stopping there; I just think it is important that you put regular, large sized stop signs there. It is very dangerous the way it is now. That way a motorist knows to stop. Especially out of town motorists that aren't used to the new weird signs. The girl was too beautiful to be getting run over by a car. It wasn't her fault; just the sign was confusing and hard to even see. I think this is a cheap answer to a problem that could really hurt someone. I don't usually complain about things. But, I felt this to be important and actually dangerous.
Speed limit sign on Browncliff is falling over.
The bike lanes and sharrows on 3rd St near campus have peeled off the pavement and need to be repainted.
at the intersection of west kirkwood & adams (near kleindorfers hardware store), there have been 2 close-calls recently between 2 vehicles because a yield-sign is turned the wrong way (toward the cemetery) so people driving don't see it.
Not sure if this falls under you or not, but they really need to put straight and turn arrows on the recently poured asphalt at the intersection of 17th & College. Seems like it's been a week and have seen multiple issues of people almost hitting others because they both go straight.
Stop signs are hard to see in most of Gentry Estates because of tree limbs.
Two yellow traffic signs on Covenanter between Nota and Pickwick, across from 2215 are half 'eaten' by a huge hedge. Maybe the hedge can be trimmed. Before long the hedge will also 'eat' half the sidewalk.
The trees overhanging the road in multiple locations on S. Olcott Blvd in Hyde Park are hanging so low that uless one travels in the middle of the road, the branches will hit windshields and antennas. Also when 2 cars are approching one of these areas one usaully has to yield(On a 2 way street) so they don't hit the branches). A prime example of this and the Visibility/Safety issue these low branches cause is the intersection of Daniel St. and Olcott Blvd.
Speeding gray pickup truck, license OKV465 (not sure what state). Squealing tires, high rates of speed.
