This
petition is for traffic calming between Elliot and Monticello Aves on Ridge St. The goal is enforcement of the 25mph speed
limit and traffic management and pedestrian safety in the two intersections in the block: Ridge and Oak, and Ridge and Dice. This can be done by:
1. Enforcement of 25mph speed limit,
2. Pedestrian-initiated light-up crosswalks and new line painting in the two intersections
(similar to Avon St at the Belmont Bridge),
3. "Don't block the box" in each intersection to ease gridlock during peak times,
Ridge Street is a city entrance corridor and connector to the future Meadowcreek Parkway. Pedestrians, runners and bicyclists share the road. Traffic moves fast and backs up regularly. There are city school bus stops and a day care center. Development is proceeding in the immediate neighborhood bringing new residents. Development is proceeding in the greater neighborhood and city which will increase traffic and pedestrians.
This petition directly benefits residents in the greater Ridge Street neighborhood and includes traffic calming measures for Ridge Street and both the Elliot/Ridge and Monticello/Ridge intersections

I am very pedestrian and use these crosswalks day and night. People cannot see you, especially at night. As far as crossing the street because you have parked your car, I have to plaster myself to the side of the car so I don't get hit when on the non bike lane side. Cars are moving too fast or close to the vehicle to see me.
Thed work done by July 2 2015 is grossly incomplete.
the street is dangerous especially at night. I have almost been hit in the crosswalk 5 times. other areas have been helped, now its our turn. Please help. thanks
I travel this part of Ridge St. almost daily. The traffic backups during peak times are incredible. It is VERY difficult for folks to cross the mentioned streets safely, especially at night.
I live on Ridge St. and bike and walk as my primary form of transportation. I strongly support traffic calming on this busy street!
I walk and bike on Ridge St. regularly. It's a major entrance to the downtown area and suffers from constant traffic problems, and it's worth the investment to make it better.
The speed limit is broken constantly throughout the day by both private and city vehicles. Lighting is non existant. Altogether a very dangerous thoroughfare.

I live between Monticello and Elliot, and I've been almost hit numerous times simply trying to get out of my driveway. There is a blind corner near Oak, and cars regularly speed around it.
