'Music Lessons' sign right next to the guard rail on Covenanter Drive, close to the bank near the intersection with College Mall Rd. I would think that if the guard rail is city property, the sign would be in the ROW.

Vey large flashing screen/sign on top of their building. Totally visible as a flashing sign/screen from Matlock Heights neighborhood. Seems to be on all the time, so not just an event screen. Pollutes with flashing light into the treescape.

There are some new safety concerns since the "Relato" building opened next to the multi-use path between Pete Ellis and the bypass on 7th Street.
First, there's a conflict point where the garage exits to 7th street. Cars are already pulling quickly across the path towards the street, while bike traffic doesn't necessarily slow for the blind corner of the garage exit either.
I've included a photo of a location where this is handled better. This is from the new development on the old K-Mart lot which also has a garage that immediately crosses a bike path. At that location, green boxes with white chevrons appear where the bike and car traffic cross, indicating to both parties that it's a conflict point.
------
The second safety concern is where the multi-use path takes right-angle turn around the corner of the Relato. This used to be an empty field with great sight lines and now those sight lines are blocked.
At this corner I have already seen what could have been a couple near collisions due to the shortened sight lines.
A treatment that could help here would be what was done at the right angle turn going into the bypass underpass tunnel-- Add a solid center line going around the corner to indicate that parties in both directions should stay in their lane going around the corner. I feel that treatment has made the underpass corner safer and I think it would help signal safer behavior here, too.
Thanks!
