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.

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.
