I am writing to formally request the installation of a "Deer Crossing" warning sign (or something similar) on North Telluride Street, specifically on the stretch between Arlington Road and Breckenridge Road/Denver. We have observed frequent deer activity and wildlife movement crossing the roadway in this specific area. This creates an immediate safety hazard for both local drivers and the wildlife. Installing a warning sign here would greatly improve driver awareness, encourage safer speeds, and help prevent potential vehicular accidents. I would be happy to send a video that shows an example if that would help. Thank you!

Turning left from N State Rd 37 Business (east or west) is highly dangerous. Cars zip around in the right turn lane and bike lane. I've almost been re-ended several times and have seen more than a few accidents at this light. The stoplight is too sensitive and stops north/southbound traffic too easily and frequently.

Southeast corner of W Patterson and S Rogers. Wheelchair user cannot reach button to cross. Waving doesn't do anything. Not accessible.

The stop sign is not visible when approaching from southbound. A stop warning sign and/or tree trimming would help.

Is parking allowed on E. Maxwell, between the 1400 block and High Street. There are two "No Parking" signs, one at the corner of High St and Maxwell; and the 1500 block has only zone parking. I'm asking because when cars are parked on Maxwell in the area without signage, the street becomes very narrow. I do not believe on street parking is allow between the 1400 block and approximately the 1900 block. Just asking for clarification. Thank you. V/r, Mark

stoplight is still malfunctioning. we sat at this light (on landmark, trying to turn left onto 3rd) for almost 6 minutes this morning before giving up. it just repeats a cycle of the don't walk countdown for the crosswalk and then eventually goes back to the walk signal. the 3rd street light was green the entire 6 minutes we sat there. a few minutes later when i drove back home, a car drove up to the stoplight at landmark and the light changed instantly. so i know it doesn't malfunction every time but this has been a repeating issue for over a month now.

At the intersection of 3rd and College, for the 3rd Street eastbound lane, the "no turn on red" sign has been covered (I think for several weeks now), seemingly related to the convention center construction. This feels like a mistake? I don't know how the construction at the convention center makes it ok to now turn right on red. Can the sign be uncovered so that drivers are reminded, "No right on red"? Thank you for your time.

This comment is for the engineering department regarding proposed improvements to the intersection of Smith Road and Morningside Drive. My observation of traffic patterns over several months suggests that the stop signs at the intersection are not the only problem. The terrain on Smith Road, elevation changes, vegetation and sightlines for drivers are contributing factors. For southbound drivers, the railroad overpass obscures visibility until the stop sign can be seen from the McCracken Way entrance to the apartments south of the railroad, although it may not be noticeable to a casual observer because the sign is beyond the crest of a hill. The highest point of Smith Road is north of the Morningside intersection. Many of the offending drivers are commuters who drive on this route frequently and have developed a habit of not stopping at an intersection that typically has no cross traffic. A Stop Ahead warning sign near McCracken Way would alert drivers to the eminent stop sign. More prominent (larger size) stop signs at the intersection on both sides of the street, with two signs facing north and two signs facing south, would command further attention from drivers. Additional amendments to the road surface would signal to those who are visually impaired, with speed cushions and small depressions in the pavement similar to those used on either side of the center line on two lane highways, creating a rumble effect of sound and vibration. An exceptional remedy may be appropriate for an exceptional situation.

The "Slow Children" sign along Buckingham, in front of 1005 E Buckingham, is rusted and leaning at a distracting angle. Unsightly and ineffective, it should be at least righted, or, better yet, replaced with one in better condition (maybe one less than 70 years old?).

Comments for the Engineering Department for their preparation in advance of the May commission meeting at city hall regarding safety improvements at the intersection of East Morningside Drive and Smith Road to encourage southbound traffic on Smith Road to stop at the Morningside Greenway: My observation in proximity to the stop sign disclosed that visibility of the sign is compromised by tree branches that have grown into the right of way to the extent of overhanging part of the southbound traffic lane. Limited visibility of the stop sign from the railroad underpass has the visual effect as if the sign were at the end of a long tunnel. Trimming the trees west of the sidewalk would have an immediate positive effect on safety at the Greenway intersection. Adding a STOP AHEAD flashing caution sign midway between the underpass and Morningside would be helpful. Flashing signs with solar powered lights are available on the internet for under $1,000 which seems reasonable for safety in comparison to medical expenses after a collision and the recent significant Greenway cost of sidewalks, speed calming bump outs and asphalt speed cushions. The Morningside and Smith intersection is well known for southbound traffic ignoring the stop sign. Commuters connecting from 10th to Third Street have grown accustomed to watching the stoplight at Third Street rather than respecting the Morningside stop sign. This notorious traffic hazard is deserving of a trifecta solution, including trimming trees, adding a caution sign, and replacing the stop sign, which in its present bent condition does not provide adequate reflectivity at night.
