Town-Wide Issues PLUS

I am a resident of Higley Estates at the southwest corner of Higley and Elliot. In the past two weeks, I have been a first hand witness to two severe vehicle accidents due to left hand turns. This is in addition to the dozens of accidents that occur at this intersection throughout the year. This intersection and area is filled with teenage drivers and lots of late night traffic. It desperately needs a left turn arrow to lesson the risks of accidents. I’m sure there is data on the number of accidents at Higley and Elliot that would confirm that something needs to be done here to enhance safety. Please consider looking into this issue!

Unbelievable amount of illegal parking in the bike lane on Burk Street north of Houston after school. Total disregard for the safety of bikers as well as anyone else around. This has been an ongoing issue this entire school year at Neely Traditional Academy. Can we please get some signs placed so that the kids can stay safe After school? The school has repeatedly pleaded with people not to park there, put up signs and cones that the illegal parkers removed. Lastly, unfortunately there already has been one incident where someone was hit on their bike in the morning at the intersection as well as countless other close calls.

I’d like to inquire if the traffic light timing on Riggs Road, particularly eastbound, could be monitored.

Issues at the Riggs Road / Val Vista Intersection:
Westbound Riggs Road: A significant amount of traffic turns right onto Key Biscayne/Merlot because when you approach the signal at Val Vista/Riggs, the curb at the gas station sticks out and blocks access to the right turn lane for Val Vista. As a result, it's often quicker to cut through the nearby neighborhood, which I assume is not great for the school or neighborhood.

Eastbound Riggs Road: I’m unsure about the exact timing, but eastbound traffic on Riggs Road takes several light cycles to get through the intersection, especially around 4/4:30 PM. The traffic is often stop-and-go from nearly Lindsay Road to Val Vista. It seems like this could be a quick fix on the timing of the lights.

Southbound Val Vista: There are two lanes heading south towards Hunt Highway, but very few cars actually travel south. Meanwhile, a large number of vehicles turn left onto Riggs Road, causing unnecessary congestion.

I am not sure if there is a better place to make these suggestions, so I thought I'd try here first. Thanks!

Northbound protected left turn from Lindsay onto Williams Field. Timing is off only allows four cars at max to turn left on protected arrow when there could be 10 to 12 cars lined up.

Both sides of this road are missing the bike lane striping.

Greenfield / San Tan pkwy heading North before greenfield there are cones set up for construction that brings traffic from 3 lanes to 1 There is nothing happening there and traffic is a mess with school pick up and the start of rush hour I saw crews working at the corner earlier today but nothing there now Is there anyway to move the cones off to the side until they are needed again?

There was recent road construction and the intersection asphal now is not level andtis hazardous when turning left from Ray onto Gilbert road
