Traffic Related Complaints

The active construction sites on both Second St and West Kirkwood are causing dangerous traffic flow concerns on Howe St. Traffic that would normally take those routes is now all flowing onto Howe St, which is a two-way street with only one-lane traffic flow, and street parking. Typically, Howe St. is not very active except for local traffic. However, traffic flow is nearly continuous from both directions. Today in particular, (8/17) there has been non-stop traffic flow and I have seen several almost collisions and cars are speeding very fast down the road from both directions. I would highly suggest resolving some of the active construction sites in the area so they are not all occurring simultaneously, or alleviate traffic flow issues by planning better detours. In multiple locations on this side of town, many detour signs simply re-route you to another active construction area. Definitely a safety issue as this is a small neighborhood with pets and pedestrians walking the streets most of the time, and most local homeowners are limited to street parking. Additional construction has also recently been added to 1st street, and S Rogers st also adding to the issue.
