Ceaseless work on property by staff, including late into the evening. Dumpster and portapot on site for approximately 5 years. Excessive lighting at all hours of the night. Soil erosion into the floodplain as a result of excavation and tree removal.
I'm sorry there were so many typos in the last report I meant to say college Mall road but predictive text kept adding things on my phone and I'm sorry
When pressing the button to cross walking west across 3rd Street, cars turning right onto 3rd Street off of college avenue do not check for pedestrians and just gun it every time. The other issue is because the street is so wide, cars continue turning right onto college avenue off of 3rd Street as you're walking across and you have no idea if a big truck is in front of them. People also like to block the crosswalk with their vehicle on 3rd Street. Walking just a little further down, the same issue is common when trying to cross PLS drive and cars are continuously turning off of and onto PLS and 3rd Street without checking for pedestrians. I used to be a lot faster before my surgery, but they expect anyone walking to be quick and nimble and jump out of their way and back onto the sidewalk which can make you trip backwards and fall on your butt. I think that there is not enough to make drivers aware that there are pedestrians using that area as well even though there are buttons for crosswalks and painted lines on the road. Cars are only paying attention to the stoplights and other vehicles. I avoid this area whenever possible even though I used to love walking around the east side for exercise, doctor's appointments, and shopping. Some people even walk to the hospital. Not everyone using a crosswalk is a sports legend and I don't think that it's my responsibility to jump out of the way of fast moving cars after I've already started walking to cross the street after looking both left and right. Drivers need to understand that a pedestrian going west crossing 3rd Street cannot see vehicles coming behind them and turning right! I don't have eyes in the back of my head. There needs to be more bells whistles lights something to indicate to drivers that this is not safe.
“Now Open” feather flags hanging over the sidewalk. Thank you!
When heading east on 7th st between Washington and Lincoln, we seriously need a sign pointing out to drivers that it is a bike lane only on their right. There's a lot of confusion with the parking lot entrances there. This is the 2nd time I've seen a car driving in the bike lane, then turn left on Lincoln.
'Light the Way" temporary sign attached to a fence, which is not allowed.
One of the purposes of UDO's section 'Signs' is 'to avoid unneccessary proliferation of signs'. There still are close to 20 blue 'Light the Way' signs on E First Street between Woodlawn and Eagleson. The promised 'signage sweep by Planning staff' must not have taken place yet. 'Light the Way' Sign at this corner is attached to a fence, which is not allowed.

The promised 'signage sweep by Planning staff' (March 18, 2025 quote) must not have taken place yet. The sign at 1320 E First in the grass next to the sidewalk is illegal, according to the Elevate map. Property does not extend all the way to the sidewalk.
Query the status of the enforcement of the removal of the illegal temporary sign 'West Services' on a pole at this intersection. First reported on April 21, 2024.
