I've referred this to our Public Works and Development Services Departments. When the staff has had a chance to respond I’ll post an update. Thanks for reporting.

I go through this intersection regularly, bringing my grandson home. It has always been a dangerous intersection and is worse now with potholes and trucks parked on the street blocking visibility. Something need stone done!

This Ashland/Gordon/Peachtree intersection does have significant complications...even if it were only a T-intersection. The turning-angles add to its lack of safety. School buses, parents' parking, students walking home or to parent's car---heightens every problems. Major construction puts it now in dangerous category!

As a Wayland Heights resident who uses this intersection regularly....I ask, 'How quickly can this intersection be improved--and made VERY safe?' Yes....soon!!

Suggestion: Place "No Parking Any Time" signs on the south side of Ashland Street, from the Ashland/Peachtree/Gordon intersection to Oberlin Road.

The residents who live in homes at (1) the corner of Ashland and Oberlin and (2) at the corner of Ashland and Peachtree often park their vehicles on the north side of Ashland, between Oberlin Rd. and Peachtree, next to their homes.

So if vehicles are also parked on the south side of Ashland, there's effectively just one lane open for the cars that are turning off of Oberlin onto Ashland, and the cars on Ashland what are approaching Oberlin Road.

Now add to the mix the fact that (1) this is area is a blind hill, and (2) vehicles exiting Oberlin are often doing so at a high rate of speed, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

Prohibiting parking on the south side of Ashland would not negatively impact residents of the condos and apartments on that side of the street, because they all have ample parking in the parking lots and garages associated with their buildings.

No one "needs" to park on the south side of Ashland.

If you want to see what I'm talking about, go take a look. Because currently. construction trucks (from the condo construction) are parking on both sides of Ashland. And it makes this already dangerous area even more dangerous.

The improvements in signage have been very helpful but you are correct, it is not enough. its barely passable and we avoid driving out that way because of the danger. it isnt clear that there are several other multi use driveways (20+ residents EACH) ALL Unmarked all in the middle of an already dangerous intersection. All right next to a school and in a neighborhood with no sidewalks. This is dangerous for children and drivers!being dropped off at all of these inintersections

All above is accurate and more than accurate. Our neighborhood children will be visiting each other as soon as school is out. Year-round school buses will continue to use these streets regularly.

To repeat my earlier question: 'How quickly can this intersection be improved--and made VERY safe?' We need it soon.

A number of See Click Fix issues have been lost in the system and are just now being recovered. Our apologies for the long time it took for us to respond to this post!

After looking into this further, we have found that the development will not have permanent access onto Ashland Street upon completion.

The access they have on Ashland now is specifically for construction and will be closed off with curb and gutter prior to CO (see attached subdivision plan). With relation to the construction traffic issue, we have directed the inspector for the area to keep close eye on project to ensure that no major problems are caused. Being that it is construction there will be some inconvenience caused, but the good thing is the project seems to be moving along rather well and hopefully this traffic on Ashland will not be a long term thing; we do not have a definitive time frame for completion so the inspector will stay vigilant for the duration. Please contact Kenneth W. Ritchie, PE via email kenneth.ritchie@raleighnc.gov

Thanks, Kenneth...it's good to know that a close eye will be kept on this area. The closer the better! How often does the inspector check on it?
Addition of the painted lines has been helpful to guide us better as neighbors.
Bets

It will likely vary from time to time, but generally an inspector will be by once or twice a week.

Thank you for responding. There is no attached subdivision plan that I can see on this page, so please provide additional information. You said that the development will not have permanent access to Ashland.
Unless I’m completely mistaken, they are building garages under the homes, that would mean they have no choice but to feed into Ashland? There is nowhere else for them to go. So even if they feed into the condo complex already build next to them (which also feeds smack in the middle of a dangerous intersection), the traffic and danger level is increased to an already dangerous intersection.
No signs point out either condo entrance (at the top or bottom of Ashland’s hill in question) and one is in the middle of a 4 direction intersection.
I appreciate your time and attention to this continuing issue.

See attached plan. All the garages are to be accessed from the internal drives. There is no drive that accesses Ashland St. All vehicular access is directly from Oberlin Road.
