We need a deer crossing sign. Many deer are starting to travel the creekbed, and I am concerned they will cause an accident when they cross over Allen Street, bc people drive very fast through here.
Increased traffic patrol by officers in the North Maple area would be greatly appreciated, for a couple reasons: 1) In the N Maple/15th St area, there is a motorcyclist who loiters and frequents the area between the hours of 7-11, off and on, who speeds/squeals his tires up and down the street, revs his engine, and drives recklessly, seemingly for fun. This has been an ongoing issue for months, but recently has become an every day occurrence. It's currently happening right now, 7:50pm on a Wednesday, and woke me up from a dead sleep at 10:30pm on Monday. Aside from the loud, incessant noise polution, his reckless driving is going to eventually cause damage to life or property. 2) At the intersection of Maple and 11th, there is a three way stop that half the people in this neighborhood completely ignore. I've had more than one close call there during my morning commute. People tend to roll through the stop sign, and only slightly hesitate, in an attempt to beat out whoever is coming the other way. Aside from being rude, it's super dangerous. Please assist with these issues. It's become very nerve-wracking to live in this neighborhood lately because of inconsiderate drivers/bikers. I was hoping it would go away after school let out, but it appears to be a townie issue.
The use of railroad tracks as a turnaround.
Speeding on Winston Street, Hyde Park Cars just zoom down the hill from Winston to Sare Road. Can the speed limit be enforced? There are small children who play in this neighborhood.
There is a huge pothole (could easily damage a car) on the service street to get to the Hampton Inn or Great Wall. (Right off of North Walnut Street)
Since the traffic light on 2nd (Bloomfield) and Oakdale Square has been changed it has been creating quite the backup for cars attempting to turn onto Bloomfield. It appears that the lights are now timed to 37, which means that cars driving on Bloomfield speed through the Oakdale square light going much faster than 40. Further, it is now common to see more than 7 cars waiting to turn left onto Bloomfield from Oakdale drive. This creates a backup for those turning left and turning right. The old timing pattern worked sufficiently in that it slowed down the traffic on Bloomfield which regularly goes faster than 40, and it was easier to get on the road from Oakdale. Please consider untying that light to the 37 intersection.
