Missing fess at sign
Missing fess at sign
Lots of deer cross from behind the Hoosier Acres subdivision over Clarizz Blvd to the other side. We have noticed this for years. The students drive very fast, many times blowing through the stop sign at Buick Cadillac and Clarizz Blvd. A deer crossing sign would help people be more aware. Another deer was hit just a few days ago at this same location.
The intersection at E 2nd St and S Park Ave is unsafe. It's where 2nd St jogs to the south and it should probably be a four way stop. I'm not actually sure what would be best, but it's a dangerous intersection.
Stop sign needs to be replaced
We need a speed bump on Allen, in between S. Patterson and Fairview. People drive very fast down the hill west of Patterson towards Fairview, right into a residential area where there are many young children and children waiting for the schoolbus
We have lived on first st since 2020 and our stretch of road (between the stop sign at Woodlawn and the one on Henderson) that our young child has to cross to get to his school bus stop is the only section of first Street residentially that has a big space between stop signs and no speed bumps. Because of this what I've noticed, since the speed bumps east of Woodlawn and first were put in, is people often speed on our stretch of road. There are two other families at our bus stop and they have noticed the same thing and often worry about crossing the street to either get to the park or the bus stop as a result. I believe we also need speed bumps on our stretch of road as it feels like drivers are now compensating and trying to make up for lost time.
The bike lane dividers on 3rd Street are very dangerous. Instead of parking all along the bike lane, where cyclists have a chance to filter into the main traffic lanes to get around cars, cars are parking right where the dividers end, and cyclists cannot jump the dividers to get into the main lane of traffic, so cyclists have to slam on their brakes in a bike lane full of gravel to avoid rear ending the cars. Please consider extending these dividers all the way to Indiana Ave, and make them curbable for buses in the areas where buses need to pick people up.
Today I saw someone yell/yonk because someone stopped to look for pedestrians/bikes on the crosswalk. They were yelling because there "wasn't a stop sign," so this made me consider that perhaps placing a stop sign here where the B-Line goes across between Morton/Dodd Street would help with safety.
11th and Grant. This stop sign is just hanging by a single bolt (with no nut) to the pole. And it is also only approximately five feet off the ground unlike the other stops signs in the area that are about 7 feet off the ground.
I suggest posting "no turn on red" for west bound traffic turning onto Range Road. Because of the cement barrier and narrowness of the road I have twice had cars interfere with and almost run into me as I try to make a left turn onto 10th St. on the green light.
