7th Street, east of campus, has a stretch where the foliage of a yard has overgrown into the eastbound bicycle lane. (At some points during the summer, it was long enough to brush the sides of vehicles NOT in the bike lane). This causes bicycles to veer out into the single vehicular traffic lane, and I've seen several near misses.
The timing on the lights at Covenanter and College Mall Road have been changed and it is creating a huge traffic jam. The lights for traffic on Covenanter have been shortened to approximately 5 seconds for the left turn and 12 seconds for the green light. Please retime these lights immediately.
Street sign down in yard
One of the stop signs is missing at the corner of Clark and 7th. It is the sign on the east side of the intersection that stops westbound traffic. The other 3 signs appear to be intact.
There is a Red pickup truck sitting at the South West side of the intersection at Grimes and Henderson. The truck has been there for some time. The truck is sitting so close to the intersection that a vehicle driving eastbound towards the intersection cannot very easily make a right hand turn. This is especially difficult when a school bus is in that situation. I am not sure you can do anything to have the vehicle moved; but if it moved back just about 10 or more feet, the issue would disappear. Thank you.
12th St east of Indiana. Knocked down speed limit 25 sign. See photo. Thanks.
Cottage Grove and 11th. Street sign is askew.
Ms. Odell was driving on South Patterson before the Prospect intersection at 7am on 11/16. A car was driving towards her in her lane, so she veered into the other lane to prevent being hit. She said that there is a concrete block in the middle of the road that is lightly painted with yellow paint, but has no reflective quality. She was unable to see the block due to the lack of reflection and this caused major damage to her vehicle. She is requesting that the block be painted with reflective paint to prevent others from doing this as well.
Earlier this evening I was in the left lane of Atwater, just west of Jordan Ave, and was behind another, taller car. The car in front of me pulled into the right lane, and that's when I realized it had pulled over because there were two cars heading toward us going west on Atwater. I honked, we all slowed down and stopped, then I pulled into the right lane and pulled up to the first car to inform it that this was a one-way street. The man driving it apologized, said he was from out of town and that he had just figured that out. This is not the first time that I have had this problem on Atwater, but it was the first time I actually thought I might have gotten hit. I strongly suggest adding some more obvious signage at both Jordan and Mitchell, which are the only two spots that I've ever noticed cars not heeding the existing traffic signs.
At the intersection of Pete Ellis Dr. and 10th St there are no markings to separate turning traffic from non-turning traffic; however, two lanes of cars form, and confusion as to which lane is to be used for continuing north on Pete Ellis is not uncommon. Today we were involved in another close call in which the car next to us also went straight. This resulted in angry honking from the other car, as it always does, even though I believe we were correct. Please mark the lanes in this intersection!!!
