Streets PLUS

A constituent reported that clogged catch basins near this property are not allowing water to drain and may need to be cleaned.

Not an issue they just don't exist Can delineators be added on Whiton by Harry's daughter

Cars are always whipping through this corner here, and cutting into the areas the bollards are (were). I think they need to be replaced at a minimum and something a little heftier or calming could slow drivers.

Columbus Drive near the turnpike overpass (especially westbound) is very dangerous, and cars often take this turn at very high speeds, drifting into adjacent lanes. Columbus is like a drag race strip sometimes. Not only is Ferris High School right there, but there have been several extreme car crashes at the site, including one fatal crash just last year.
Drivers really need to be slowed down somehow, either with a flashing signal, reduced car lanes, speed bump, or a well-designed intersection with the Academy Street extension on the JC master plan.
Thanks, Tom

Washington St headed south by Whole Foods needs better pedestrian infrastructure. The are two travel lanes for cars, but drivers use the bus stop and the bike lane to jump the line and make illegal right turns on red. This endangers anyone walking and rolling at the intersection.

Newark Avenue (India square) - has become increasingly congested due to the rapid growth of restaurants, shops, and grocery stores in the area. While this development has energized the neighborhood, it has also led to serious traffic and pedestrian safety concerns.

This stretch of Newark Avenue currently functions as a two-way street with one lane in each direction and parking on both sides. The high volume of visitors, delivery drivers, and shoppers has created frequent blockages. Vehicles often stop mid-road for pickups and drop-offs, delivery drivers crowd storefronts, and parking searches cause lane obstructions. Ongoing construction has further narrowed sidewalks, making pedestrian movement difficult and unsafe.

Proposal: To alleviate congestion and improve safety, I request that Newark Avenue - up to the JFK Boulevard intersection - be converted into a one-way street. This change would:

Improve traffic flow and reduce gridlock

Enhance pedestrian safety

Support local businesses by improving access

Allow better coordination of delivery and service vehicles

This adjustment would help the street better serve the needs of the community without compromising safety or accessibility.

Thank you for considering this request.

Can we please have the delineator installs completed along Pacific? I noticed that it has finally been added along one block of Pacific (which we very much appreciate), but when will it be finished? It's been nearly two years since the paint for the bike lanes and curb bump-outs was put down, but we're still waiting on delineators.

Delineators are needed:
1) Along the entire stretch of the Pacific bike lane between the bike lane and parking.
2) Within each of the painted curb bump-outs along Pacific and the intersecting streets (see the Communipaw intersection half-done pictured here).

Please replace the delineators that have been destroyed at the intersection of Communipaw and Pine St.

And add delineators at the corners where they weren't previously installed (there should be delineators extending from each crossing - 8 separate daylighting sections at this intersection). Pedestrian visibility is a major problem at this intersection.

This truck just ran into and damaged the delineator Water leaking on the street
