hindesky Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 This intersection now has a 4 STOP sign, I talked with the crew that was doing the street striping who said it was installed 3 days ago. They said almost every single person has blown thru the Stop sign and that is why they are doing the road striping. They were heating up the paint in the parking lot of the future Jethro's BBQ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Time for some traffic police to sit there and write some $200+ tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I didn't even see the sign coming east on Fairview while I was riding my bike. I'm sure drivers aren't much better. The city needs to clean this block up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.33 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Seems like there might be some miscommunication. Public works was sent out over the weekend is response to someone requesting stop bars. This was the resolution by the public works agent: "Resolution : 64. Referred for further investigation Close Comments : 3/13/23 After completing a field check it was determined that the requested markings are not needed due to this not being a four was stop. The two stop signs that are in place on the EB & Wb legs of this intersection have been installed illegally." Additional info: "3/13/2023 10:43:44 3/13/23 After completing a field check it was determined that the requested markings are not needed due to this not being a four was stop. The two stop signs that ar e in place on the EB & Wb legs of this intersection have been installed illegally. They both need to be removed as this is a safety hazard. We will be closing this request at this time" - for those who want to track it, it is case number: 12535054-2300795359 But now apparently stop bars and crosswalk are going in? This could be a TIRZ project that the city is unaware of/failed to acknowledge? We will see if the stop signs and stop bars stay. It will make the intersection safer, so I do hope they make it work! Edited March 14, 2023 by Justin Welling added the case number so others could follow it on 311's website 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 I just drove by this a little while ago, out of the 4 cars I saw in the intersection only me and another car stoped, but j_cuevas713 is right the eastbound sign is kind of hidden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 They removed the stop signs on Fairview. Maybe they realized nobody was stopping or they will add more striping on the intersection and put them back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.33 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 According to public works, the stop signs were illegally placed. The City never installed them. I wonder who did though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Stop signs are back up but they need to add the white stripes on Fairview heading eastbound. The stop sign on the eastbound side is set far back and I think that people aren't used to it being there so they run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aachor Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) I really wish that the city would properly stripe the roads and fix the potholes before imposing this kind of ...art... on us. EDIT: I am all for public art, I would just like it to be beautiful. Edited August 17, 2023 by aachor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not much luv from Avondale now..... sameolesameole, nothing happened. then MMD got spanked by legislature.........very low profile from them after that. I am surprised the "renewed" MMD is active, more so that public art is coming from them=> those more ole super $$$$ Montrose signs that aligned lighting with the bridge lights over 59.......? What a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 I talked to these two guys, they said it will have lights that change colors and the concrete round things are there to keep cars from hitting the sculpture and will be either painted or possibly have bricks around them, they are still deciding which way to make them look better. It will also be landscaped. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
