1st Street between Henderson & Grant: The ground water openings are covered in leaves again from last night's storms. Can you please clean these before the next round of storms arrive later today? Thank you.
The 4th Street alleyway behind Chipotle on Kirkwood is flooded into the parking lots due to clogged storm drains.
The all way stop put in at Smith and 45 will likely cause confusion and/or problems between cars and bikes. There is a very big shoulder there and as a cyclist I have always ridden on the shoulder through this intersection. Westbound on a bike you come to this intersection at relatively high speed and if you have taken the should there's really no need to wait behind cars. I believe that is where the potential for confusion will be. If, say, there are 5 cars at the stop sign, should bikes not use the shoulder and wait in line with cars? Should they use the shoulder, but wait with cars? Should they blow by the line of cars? Should they slow, but still roll past the line of cars? While I am generally against "pained bike lanes" I think some sort of signage/lane could make sense here.
Just wanted to circle back re this sidewalk issue. The report above indicates that the issue is resolved but no repair has been made. I have attempted to make it less of a trip hazard by packing it with old towels. I appreciate your attention to this matter. Thanks Laura Chappell 812-325-2310
The parent pick up lane continues to cause major issues with this street. The parents block the area where there is a lane merger with a cross walk. The parents need to follow the rules of the road and wait until the line is moving allowing the residents of the area to use that street. The teachers that guard there are rude, and will not allow you to go past even with no kids in sight. I understand there is another way through the neighborhood, but it is out of the way, and doesn't stop the fact that they are not above the law, and that street should not be blocked for ANYTIME. If there was an emergency, is it right for a loved one to have to wait for help due to a parent pickup line? This is an issue that can be EASILY fixed with the guards stopping the parents from blocking the merged area allowing for the traffic to flow. This has been brought to the school who basically puts their hands up like it isn't their teachers out there yelling at residents just trying to make it home.
2nd vehicle is parking to the left of the driveway where there is no driveway causing a muddy mess.
During a meeting with today that Mr. Hazen had with the planning department, he mentioned concerns about the vegetation in the median of 3rd Street in the vicinity of his property at 1900 West 3rd Street. His concerns include: the height and density of the median vegetation prevents visibility across 3rd Street, prevents travelers on the roadway from seeing traffic in the opposing lanes, and prevents seeing someone who might be trying to cross 3rd Street mid block, etcetera. He asks that the vegetation be cut back.
2 Pot Holes in the South bound lane….plus to the side of these holes near the Street Edge is beginning to Break up and crumble…Vehicles are starting to swerve around them…Thanks
This intersection is very difficult to see around when you are trying to come off of 8th st, street parking blocks visibility to see if cars are approaching from N Walnut, and often times results in having to inch up into the crosswalk which blocks pedestrians. Even inching up is often times not enough as the front end of a car can stick out into the left most lane of N Walnut. There needs to be something done to increase visibility for 8th St. as it is not a protected intersection.
Light for Cory lane traffic to turn east or west last 30 seconds! Why do two cars need 30 seconds while the 30 cars trying to go east and west get stopped so frequently? This is a nightmare in the morning. No cars even on Cory Lane and I'm stopping at a red light for no cars! It's been like this since W 3rd was paved. How long will it take to fix this one?
