Traffic Related Complaints

This is just an absolute cluster of problems. I feel afraid every time I have to drive there. There have been upwards of 7 new multi unit houses built there which has increased the density. Parking along the already extremely narrow street is erratic - often parked cars stick out enough that two cars cannot pass each other safely. Garbage cans from the new builds are left in the street making it even more congested. And now, there is a bus route including a bus stop right in the middle of it all. A bus and a car can’t use the road at the same time. This is all adjacent to a busy walking path coming up from campus near the student services building, where people are attempting to cross Jefferson into the Green Acres neighborhood without any crosswalk or signage for drivers to look out (and right next to a large tree that blocks being able to see them until they are in the street). There is a blind hill on Jefferson, right at the point where they are building yet another unit and often have the street further congested/blocked. There are multiple problems here and I have to hold my breath every day I use it. That poor bus driver. It is so many accidents waiting to happen. At the very least, it should be made to have parking on only one side to leave room for traffic. Thanks.
