We would like to post or have the city post signage redirecting 46 bypass traffic to pete ellis for the businesses effected by the closed entrance to the strip malls at 46 Bypass and 3rd Street. At Starbucks, we have lost over a third of our business since the closing of that entrance. Similar reports are available from the surrounding local businesses.
At a neighborhood Fourth of July party, the question came up on whether the faded stop sign at the corner of Forrester (north side) and Daniel will be replaced and moved in front of the tree that partially blocks it so motorists will stop at that intersection. We have a lot of children who walk to the park by both stop signs on Forrester and Daniel, so we were hoping there is a way to mark those intersections so they stop. Is there anyone in the city we should pose this question to? Thanks for any advice you can provide.
I have a business at 3rd & Dunn and I watch vehicles go the wrong way almost everyday. Last Friday, a motorcycle rider almost got hit by another vehicle. The motorcycle driver ran up on the curb to avoid a collision. There is a one way sign located on the base of the stop light. That's not enough to warn people not to go the wrong way in oncoming traffic. Cars in both directions are traveling at fast rates of speed. It's only a matter of time when a bad wreck is going to occur. I seen two cars go the wrong way today within two minutes of each other. Also, there is one side of the street that needs a predestian crossing signal. I see students crossing at that corner taking a big risk crossing or attempting to cross the street with no idea that a vehicle is approaching the light. This is truly a problem and I don't want to witness someone getting hurt or killed because no one took action.
WOULD LIKE STREET LIGHTS FROM 13TH STREET TO 17TH STREET ON NORTH JACKSON. (REQUESTED IN LETTER TO THE HT EDITOR, 11/17/98)
Engineering ordered and delivered a replacement sign for Valhalla Memory Gardens to be placed on the south side of the intersection of W. 3rd Street and Johnson Avenue, facing eastbound traffic. There is excess right-of-way to the south in that area due to the right-of-way purchased for the Basswood extension to Johnson.
Ms. Brashaber is concerned about lack of street lighting on N. Pete Ellis Dr between Amy Ln and Braeside Dr. She stated that there have been accidents in the past and asked that a street light be installed in this location.
Eastbound automobile traffic on allen st approaching patterson faces a "no turn on red" sign. However, the right turn curb radius there is more than 30 ft, meaning drivers will not only ignore that sign, they will do so at 20mph on a regular basis! Extremely dangerous and frightening for pedestrians in the area. Practically a guaranteed collision for anyone who bikes on the sidewalk there - is that your plan?
Sign needed, northbound - "Right lane ends, merge left"
Walnut St northbound - opposite the 40mph sign for southbound traffic, there used to be a 45mph sign for northbound. This sign disappeared 20 or 25 years ago & has not been replaced.
Can you please replace the stop sign located at intersection of Thorton Drive and Maxwell Street (at the western side of the intersection on Thorton Drive). It is very faded and hard to see and i'm worried that somebody will go through the intersection without stopping. Please fix this problem for us in the neighborhood.
