There is a large construction caution sign that was left standing next to the sidewalk by the fiber optic installation crew. It has been here now for over 2 weeks without any obvious work still going on.
Dumpster in alley is full and overflowing onto the ground
There is a very dangerous vehicular traffic pattern on S Woodlawn Ave between Sheridan Dr and E Hillside Dr, especially near the Grimes & Woodlawn and Weatherstone & Woodlawn intersections. There is a blind hill on Woodlawn that greatly decreases visibility for everyone. North @ south-bound vehicles on Woodlawn regularly break the speed limit by 20+ MPH and have even seen estimated speeds of 70+ mph. Sometimes vehicles "floor it" on Woodlawn southbound from Sheridan Ln stop sign. The city should consider installing a STOP sign on Woodlawn @ Grimes intersection to decrease the speed of North & South-bound traffic on Woodlawn Ave. The city should also consider additional signage to protect pedestrians who are crossing from Weatherstone Ln to Bryan Park. I have almost been hit there several times by speeding cars and trucks. This is a primary route for cyclists, pedestrians, commuting students, and dog-walkers. Pedestrians and cyclists crossing Woodlawn anywhere between Hillside and Sheridan Ave risk injury and death by vehicles speeding up and down the blind hill. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Please make South Dunn Street between Grimes and Hillside One-Way only, Northbound. This is a very narrow street. Oftentimes, traffic travels through here at a high rate of speed. If there is more than one car traveling on the street at a time in opposite directions, we frequently have to pull to the side into parking (if room) or one car has to either stop at an intersection to allow the car to pass, OR one of the cars have to back up into a parking space or another intersection to let another car pass. PLEASE consider making my street a one-way street Northbound which would align with the only available parking spaces on the side of the street. THANK YOU! :-)
Many drivers passing East or West on Dodds do not realize that Lincoln Street (one-way, Northbound) traffic does not have a stop sign. I live on this corner, and work from home in sight of this intersection, and I see many many close calls, as well as accidents as traffic coming full speed North on Lincoln are suddenly confronted with drivers on Dodds who have stopped, and then started into the intersection, assuming they have the right of way. Could we possibly get "cross traffic does not stop" added to the Dodds stop signs? I doubt that the accident reports fully reflect the dangers.
There are no sidewalks at all on S Park Ave., S. Stull Ave., or S. Fess Ave between Bryan Park and Hillside (except on Grimes St).
The sidewalk is covered in mud and becomes hazardous when wet.
I am concerned about the north-south alley between E. Wilson and E. Driscoll running behind the 1300 blocks of S. Lincoln and S. Grant. The alley entrance at Wilson is not perpendicular to the street, curving onto the property at 1315 S. Lincoln. Furthermore, a large bush on the east side of the alley is blocking the sightline of the street; cars driving west on Wilson cannot see cars approaching the street from the alley, nor can cars in the alley see traffic approaching on Wilson. I request that the city straighten this part of the alley to align with the connecting north-south alleys and improve the sightline. Thank you.
We have been asking for parking lines to be repainted on S Dunn St for a long time. I was assured by the city this would be done and it still hasn’t. Now people are receiving parking citations on our street. So we are paying fines for parking on a street the city is refusing to repaint. I would like the lines repainted and to receive clarity on why residents are being ticketed for parking in front of their own homes. Thanks!
