Please re-paint this yellow curb a brighter yellow. It is often in shadow and I think this leads it to look more gray causing people to mistake it for a parking spot.

Ureport case number - 214749 Whoever responded asked questions, but did so from a no- reply email, so I've gotta do this to get the answers back to the city. Please review this process. Here's the quoted text from my attempted email replies: Thanks for your quick reply and your questions. All of the neighbors on this small street will appreciate any improvement. The westbound lanes get blocked, especially from 1500-1800. Yancy Ln only goes north off third, so the westbound/northern side of third is the offending area. It's a _|_ intersection with no southern branch which is hard to notice in the first place. Now it's about to be crammed between McD's and Chick-fil-A. Thanks again for the help.
Thanks for your time and help with the problem at West Third and Yancy. This 3-way, "T" intersection is often blocked. There is no white paint or 'Don't Block the Box' signage. I say leave it clean and ticket people who block it. Get some revenue. The problem will get worse with the completion of Chik-Fil-A.
Please continue the double yellow line on N Morton St from 6th St all the way up to 11th St. There is a small section that stops at the N Morton St and W 9th St intersection and just past the 8th St intersection. People do not know how to use the space they have available on their side of the road without this.
We would like to request a slowdown sign or a lower speed limit on our street 20th St. people have been coming off the highway onto our street doing 40mph until they hit Arlington road. This is a neighborhood with children and a daycare.
I truly can't understand why the city keeps putting in speed bumps with no signage and no indication that they are there. I drove down Washington St for the first time in a long time...the speed bumps caught me and my car off guard. I really feel like they should have yellow paint and/or a sign. The white arrows don't stand up enough and especially on the sections of the road that are in shade...it was impossible for me to tell if there was a speed bump or not. I understand the need for speed bumps, I would just like them to be appropriately marked.
Due to the current bridge reconstruction detour on Rhorer, all east-west traffic is being funneled through the E Rogers and Winslow roundabout. A 3-way stop approximately 0.25 miles west at Sherwood Oaks neighborhood is causing gridlock to back up directly into the roundabout every day between roughly 5:00 PM and 5:40 PM. Eastbound cars are completely blocking the north entrance, starving out those drivers and breaking Indiana Code ยง 9-21-8-36. Please investigate temporary mitigation, such as 'Do Not Block Intersection' signage or temporary traffic control at the 3-way stop during peak rush hour. Alternatively, a flagger at the Winslow Sherwood Oaks Neighborhood entrance might be more helpful and limit cars trying to cut through the neighborhood to avoid traffic going East on Winslow.
It is difficult to see traffic coming from the left when attempting to turn from Telluride onto Arlington in either direction. It is also difficult to see traffic from the right when turning left on to Arlington from the new SR 45/46 bypass exit. With the speed limit at 40 mph and people driving faster than 40 mph, both of these areas are dangerous to pull out from. Would it be possible to reduce the speed limit or at least add some signs to let traffic on Arlington know to watch for people pulling out? Thanks!
I would like to suggest adding a designated pedestrian crossing at this location. This area is frequently used by students and other pedestrians traveling to and from the IU campus. There are also churches, mosques, and residential areas nearby, which contribute to regular pedestrian activity. Crossing the street at this location can be difficult and unsafe because 3rd Street carries heavy traffic. The situation becomes especially challenging because vehicles coming from S. Rose Avenue are also merging into or crossing the traffic on 3rd Street. With pedestrians trying to cross at the same location, there are several movements happening at once, which can create a potentially dangerous situation. A clearly designated pedestrian crossing, along with appropriate signs, signals, or other pedestrian safety measures, would make this area much safer and more accessible. Given the proximity to the university, residential neighborhoods, and places of worship, I believe improving pedestrian access at this location would benefit both students and the surrounding community.
Traffic has significantly increased (and at faster speeds) on N Maple between W 17th and W 11th since the speed bumps were installed on W 11th. We believe that traffic gets off the highway onto 17th, and then needs to get over to 11th to travel east. In the past much of this traffic routed down Monroe. Now, cars wanting to go east are instead taking N Maple, presumably to avoid the new speed bumps on W 11th. While no neighborhood wants increased traffic, Monroe is better suited than Maple to accommodate it, as there are good sidewalks and tree plots (N Maple has worse sidewalks and no tree plot). I would like to request speed bumps on N Maple.
