Very dangerous for cars <br />turning, risk being rear ended by trcifJic traveling north or hit by cars traveling south. <br />Many cars just pass on shoulder due to frustration oftrqffic being backed up. There is <br />not rally a safe area to go around a vehicle at that location. 1 believe there is a turn lane <br />for the street on the east side,. however. it is hard to determine if vehicles are turning <br />(they usually stop prior to completing the turn) or they are just trying to get by the <br />westbound turning vehicle that is blocking traffic. Either l1;ay it is a dangerous <br />intersection that may warrant a stoplight. <br /> <br />Need northbound lanes at railroad crossing at TH 47 to switch to left turn lane and right <br />lane for highway traffic. <br /> <br />Going northbound on TH 47 at the railroad tracks before Schwartzman '.'1, the two lanes <br />was a great road improvement last year (adding the bypass lane). The right lane is <br />currently the bypass lane, which should on(v be used in situations where roads are flat to <br />see cars stoppedfor turning left. The trqffic lane should be switched to a permanent left <br />turn lane only and the right lane isfor all traffic going north. There are many near miss <br />accidents because some drivers are not paying close attention in the left lane, get stopped <br />by sorneone entering Schwartzman's, and try to switch to the right bypass lane when <br />people behind them are already in the right lane bypassing them. With a permanent left <br />turn lane there would be less indecision and less accidents! <br /> <br />Left turn lane issues on the southern portion of TH 47. <br /> <br />Other Proiect Related <br />Level.of-Service at CSAH 5/Alpine Drive should be calculated. <br />Were turning movement counts taken while CR 56 and CSAH 116 were under <br />construction? <br /> <br />We are glad to see this addressed as TH 10 becomes a parking lot for travel, more and <br />more people look for alternatives. We want to be sure these alternatives are possible, yet <br />keep residents' opinions top of mind. DON'T make decisions without public input as has <br />happened SO MANY times in the past in the area. <br /> <br />Map east and west feeder to north and south main roads. <br /> <br />The plantings and median grass along TH47 between NowthenBoulevard and Sunwood <br />Drive --I understand that it is expensive to maintain, however,. if it can't be maintained <br />on a regular basis, fill it will concrete. Many of the shrubs planted have died and there <br />is no real thought or organization to the plants that remain. It 'sjust not pretty. <br /> <br />What about homes on St Francis Boulevard - eminent domain? <br /> <br />Plan frontage roads, not speed bumps. <br /> <br />City planning should be considering the impact on transportation needs for the present. <br />and future. <br /> <br />Other <br /> <br />F..: -/1 J 66(~,,(l,1'j\drn! tl'-.M\~<::i in~.;..\Puhk i\.1e:~!ijnl/,-n':>(\8 ,~..t\rOH1nkl\t), do~' <br /> <br />P35 <br />
