Broken glass on the Polly Grimshaw Trail.
Broken glass on the Polly Grimshaw Trail.
There was a collision today between a car and a bus at the intersection of 11th and Diamond Streets. The car was unable to see around the large building at the southwest corner, and pulled out in front of a fast-moving bus. A similar thing happened several years ago between two passenger vehicles which resulted in a collision with the house on the southeast corner (see picture). With the new development at Moravec Way, this intersection is getting much more use over the past few years. I would appreciate if a traffic study could be conducted to determine if some kind of traffic calming, such as a speed hump, would be appropriate to install on the west side of this intersection.
At the end of the very nice protected bike lane on 3rd Street, buses pull over into the unprotected lane to pick up passengers at this stop, forcing bikers either to stop and wait for the bus again, take their chances on going into traffic and around, or jumping up on the sidewalk. Please ask the buses to either stop in the car lane or extend the protected lane through this bus stop.
Sidewalk work is currently happening on Laura Way and I'm wondering if the city can install a sidewalk connecting Jennifer 1063 and 1059? We have a lot of young kids on our street right now and the bus stop is right past that section. It would be nice if the kids didn't have to walk on the street during htat busy time. I think 1063 is a double lot and so the developer never finished the sidewalk. There are some trees that I don't think anyone would want to cut down, but perhaps the sidewalk can be installed a bit closer to the curb through that section? Also, I live at 1044 and we have one section of the sidewalk that is raised due to tree roots. It's unclear if they are roots from a tree on our property or roots from a tree on city property. Could the city fix that as part of this project? There is also a water hookup very close to this spot so I'm not sure how complicated this would be. It's not a terrible issue, but bumpy enough to make pushing a stroller or using a scooter a bit precarious.
This location needs a bike rack that allows for a U-lock.
New striping for bike lane on N Smith dangerous. It eliminates the lane shortly before Morningside then starts back up after. Go ahead and make consistent.
Pair of floodlights on second floor of back (north) side of house are shining directly at neighbor's house across alley and bathing it in bright, harsh light all night long.
There is a patch of sidewalk in front of 3215 E Winston St that is completely eroded to gravel/dust (see attached picture). This is a safety hazard, a nuisance, and an eyesore for those walking the sidewalk and living in the neighborhood. Anything that can be done to repair this stretch of sidewalk would be sincerely appreciated!
This location at 10th St near Fountain Park Apartments and the United States Postal Service has a high volume of pedestrian traffic, especially between the apartment complex and the post office. However, there is only a pedestrian crossing sign in one direction, and there are no road markings indicating a crosswalk. Many drivers do not stop for pedestrians, creating a dangerous situation for those crossing the street. I am concerned for the safety of residents and postal customers, as the current setup does not effectively alert drivers to pedestrian activity in this area. Would it be possible to add crosswalk markings and additional signage in both directions, or consider other safety improvements, such as a pedestrian-activated crossing light? These changes could greatly enhance safety for the community. Thank you for considering this request.
I am requesting a Neighborhood Compliance Officer confirm there are only 3 unrelated adults living at this address. Owners of this property are Tamas and Nora Czar, Landstuhl, Germany. This request is being made due to : 1. Observing 5 vehicles connected to this address (3 white sedans, a truck , and an SUV). 2. There being an overall unusual amount of cars parked in the northern half of this block, parking on both sides of the street since August 2024, with a daily average of 12 cars.
