Needs "Cross traffic does not stop" or "Cross traffic stops only for pedestrians" signs below stop signs facing East and West on 4th st. Too many accidents and multiple daily near-misses. The insurance companies love this intersection but I hate it and all of the problems it makes for so many people. I understand the need for hybrid intersections that allow for both pedestrian right-of-way and heavy flow of traffic but the improvements that have been made are not enough. There are significantly less incidents between motorists and pedestrians but as many if not more actual car crashes. Most if not all of the accidents are caused by motorists crossing 4th st assuming they are moving through a 4-way stop if they are completely unfamiliar with that intersection. This can be averted almost always with "Cross Traffic" signage. Please act on this soon.

On the south east corner of E Allen St and S Washington St (E Allen St side) there is a metal sign post within the sidewalk that has been broken off at the base and it's a safety hazard.

A street sign is sideways and looks like someone hit it. We would appreciate it if someone could fix it.

First off, I want to say thanks for the stop sign that was recently installed on 7th St at the B-Line trail crossing. This is much appreciated but I have a suggestion for a small change to help improve safety even further. I walk that intersection multiple times a day and see cars that seem to think it is a 4-way stop. If a car stops (and TBH most do not stop) I have seen multiple cases where the car thinks they then have the right away and proceed in front of crossing bikes and pedestrians. My suggestion is to add signage that says "cross traffic does not stop" or similar which is very common for other 2 way stops around the city. That would just be one more sign to the drivers that the trail traffic has the right away and is not required to stop. Thanks!

This sign is posted at a four way stop. Cross traffic (on Grant) does stop at this intersection, which makes this sign is both confusing and misleading.

Traffic Calming maintenance request: street markings and posts beside each traffic bump need refresh. Streets: E. Longview, Morningside Drive, N. Glenwood west and east. All traffic calming bumps need the striping repainted to mark the bump. All bumps need the poles and reflectors checked. Some poles missing, many reflectors damaged/missing. This has caused a hazard for vehicles who do not see the bumps due to faded markings and the vehicles traveling too fast and potential damage to vehicles. The marking DID get refreshed this past summer on parts of Morningside, thanks! Now we need similar action on E. Longview and the two Glenwood sections. I have submitted similar requests in the past but do not see them on file except for one for a missing post (2014). Please followup as this area (E. Longview) is an important connector to the City bike paths that connect to the Polly Grimshaw trail. Thank you - Park Ridge Neighborhood Association/Steve Akers

The “stop here on red” sign on southbound Madison St. approaching 3rd Street is almost completely obscured by a nearby tree

The intersection of E Canada Drive and S Heirloom Dr is a dangerous intersection with no right of way or stop sign. There have been several cars that have been hit or almost hit at this intersection. To add to the problem, there is no clear line of site when cars are parked on left side of the road as you head towards S Heirloom Dr for cars on S Heirloom to turn safely onto E Canada Dr. I would suggest either no parking signs and a stop sign be installed, or double lines be placed on the road and a stop sign.

Heading south on Sare, the stop sign at Sare and Canada is not visible. The trees (circled in red in the attached picture) need to be trimmed back. I would also propose a Stop Ahead sign be attached to the median sign already in place(highlighted in yellow in the attached picture) since the road curves slightly there, giving drivers less time to react to the upcoming stop sign.
