Right-hand northbound green bulb is not working for traffic coming from Pete Ellis.
Intersection of E 10th St. and E. Discovery Parkway has no crosswalk or pedestrian signaling. I have noted numerous people sprinting across from the bus stops adjacent to the USPS building and Fountain Park Apartments. It appears to be a busy enough pedestrian area, whether it be to access the College Mall area, get to the post office, or otherwise make it back to one's home.
This intersection is problematic for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. There's often a queue to turn left and cars often wait an entire light cycle to do so. Because of that, drivers tend to try to go around the vehicle waiting for the left turn, which makes the intersection more dangerous for everybody. Would it be a good idea to make the leftmost lane left turn only? Also, there are pedestrian/cyclist paths on three quadrants of the intersection, but no crosswalks and no walk/wait signals.
10th St. and Discovery Parkway is way overdue for safe pedestrian infrastructure. As you can see, it's close to a post office, several employers on Discovery Parkway, and several apartment buildings. It's also serviced by city transit. But it's entirely unsafe for pedestrian crossing and seems like it's not even set up for that. Please invest in making it more usable for people to be able to safely cross 10th from Discovery to get to Pete Ellis.
The intersection before the street light in front of fountain park is completely covered in ice. Few cars bumped to each other already, broken lights part are on the road. Even slow moving cars are just completely sliding right before the street light. I have witnessed cars sliding to the opposite lane, luckily it was empty. The ice needs to be treated ASAP.
Please do not let the splendid trees all around the intersection of 10th Street and Pete Ellis Drive be cut. Surely the intersection can be sufficiently improved without cutting all the trees.
Resident called in to complain about parking on Diamond St. next to the Opportunity House. She is concerned that since parking is allowed on one side, the other lane is not large enough to provide access to emergency vehicles, especially with the new Habitat for Humanity neighborhood nearby. Thinks parking ought to be eliminated on Diamond St.
Probably a lateral sanitary line but could be a supply line. The sidewalk on the west side of Woodlawn has been perpetually wet for several weeks ever since the sorority there had some landscaping done using large, dirt-moving equipment. The wet spot is alongside the retaining wall on Woodlawn, ~20 sidewalk sections south of Third Street.
Lamp out on south side of 3rd about 30 feet west of Woodlawn in front of old TriDelt house used in Breaking Away.
