The grass has been mowed

Not only are these people parking illegally, but most of them are speeding. The speeders are not only the people driving the cars, but also the bus drivers driving the buses are speeding on Bender. Today, 1-27-2011, not only was there about 20 to 30 cars parked at the end of the street to pick up students, but there was students walking in the road where these people are speeding....I am just waiting for one of these kids to get hit by a speeding car and maybe something will finally get done. Kettering drive was built for "Kettering traffic" and there for should be used for such, including the school buses. I know that before Kettering drive was put in, all traffic was on Bender and kids seemed to make it to school just fine. Close off Bender to ALL SCHOOL TRAFFIC and make them use Kettering drive. The Waterford police needs to back up the residents of Bender and do something. The police should be handing out tickets instead of just turning them around "when" they do come out to "control" the problem.

If they haven't already done so, ask Waterford Police to involve T.I.A. (Traffic Improvement Association)in this issue. T.I.A. is a non-profit organization that is made up of traffic engineers. It sounds as though T.I.A., the police, the school AND the residents AND some of the parents who pick up their children need to be involved in the solution.

Hopelss problem

This whole description doesn't even make sense. The end of the N Judah is blocks away from Berry & 7th. And it's not even on the same side of the creek as Channel Street.
I think this issue needs to be re-reported with correct location information. If you want something fixed then you should provide the correct information about it.

Sounds like the issue is fixed!

Agreed. It looks like this issue was reported 2 years ago when SeeClickfix was first launched. There are probably other older issues that might need to be closed out in SF as well.

Thanks for letting us know. Feel free to click the close button on any others that you see fixed.

please cancel

Please cancel

This issue was closed

Please, not this again.
When will people finally get it through their heads that this DOES NOT WORK.
Please move on.

Then I propose "Civilian Parking Tickets"

Ther seems to be a long history of nothing being done about this issue. Why do we even bother...

1/11/2012 - Thank you so much for expressing your very important concern with the City of Richmond government. The situation with the vehicle parking on the sidewalk needs to be reported immediately during the infraction to the Richmond Police by dialing 911 and asking Communications Officers to have the vehicle ticketed for parking violations - rtt

Nothing was done.

??? The owner is white, the manager is white, the acts I've seen are white...the people complaining are white...and the shag carpet is purple.

dear nic

Get a life. Do you have a 9 to 5? It isnt about you being whatever color, its about the bar being a bunch of @#$%. With that, please move back to Whitefish Bay.

Thanks!

OH PLEASE ! Whatever. There are many bars / clubs that do Hip Hop, and don't have problems, including some in Riverwest. The issue is not race, it's RESPECT. There are disrespectful, noisy, stupid, etc people in EVERY race/demographic. If I lived near a rock club who didn't manage their patron's behavior, or had a tendency to attract a less manageable crowd, I'd have the same complaints.

I can see how it may look that way, based on how I've stated some things. If a group of people act a specific way, and happen to all (or mostly) fit into a specific demographic, it's easy for it to look like someone is against that demographic, but the facts speak for themselves. It's not my fault the club draws mostly from a black demographic - my issues are with their behavior, and the club's unwillingness, or inability to effectively manage it.

For example:
Just because both of these statements are true -

1) "Saylece's patrons can be disrespectful, noisy, and many don't live in this neighborhood"
and
2) "Many of Saylece's customers are black"

Does NOT mean they are equal or interchangeable.

Only a simple mind makes assumptions like that. This is NOT a race issue (for me).

A few things you may not know about me - I've worked in the bar, nightclub & entertainment business - specifically as a lighting, sound & video technician, DJ, and event promoter. I've worked with many, many people of ALL races. I've done lighting at shows with Run DMC, Slick Rick, the majority of Chicago & Detroit House Music DJs/Producers, @ E2 in Chicago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_E2_nightclub_stampede), probably 60% or more of every Rave party in the Midwest, and for several years programmed & operated lighting for Sonido Charanga (Madison/Mexico - a Hispanic music event promoter & Sound/Lighting company).

So don't you DARE imply I have racist motivations for my issues with Saylece's as it's the farthest thing from the truth.

whatever,

This issue is being resolved by the Code Enforcement department. This is why it was "closed" on SeeClickFix; any further correspondance should go through their department as they are still working on it for you.
We previously listed the e-mail and phone contacts for this department but here they are again: 678-382-6807 or tom.lapenna@dunwoodyga.gov.

Update from the Code Enforcement Department:

The problem is that it's not always possible to get police car numbers when they whiz by, especially when you're not expecting it (i.e. when they should be stopped at a light in accordance with the law). Incidentally, I've seen USPS delivery trucks run red lights at this intersection too, most recently last week.

Sounds like a good place for a traffic officer.
I'll pass this on to the district manager. She does not have a watch area yet, but will have one soon.

"My theory is cops should be given some license to bend traffic laws if they are doing some type of official business."
that isn't a theory? Police are currently allowed to break traffic laws without oversight?

As to my story--you can doubt it, sure!

I have a lot of respect for police, and know many who are inordinately good citizens. They go above and beyond the call of duty. I also laugh at some of the comments posted on this site too.

That doesn't in any way validate police breaking laws they are sworn to uphold, however, and the excellent cops I know wouldn't knowingly & flagrantly thumb their nose at the very laws they seek to uphold.

Were any actions taken (or are any pending) to address this with the police supervisor and/or city administration?

If not, it might be time to close this issue? (I think it would stay archived for future reference, in case 165NH continues to cause problems).

I agree that it should be closed as documented.

about walmart? it pisees me off to see people parking in 1-wheelchair spots when not in said wheelchair!! 2-when its -30 or raining or snowing dont park in the child parking spots when you dont have kids, or have someone sit in the car with the kids while you go in the store!! i think parents should get a thing to hang in their cars much like handicapped ones when they have children that are good for like 4 years. i have seen city police at walmart though ticketing those illegally parked. just wish they could do something for the childs parking, or take it out

want to hear funny..and yes i have seen it for real.i was downtown with my grandmother and a police car pulls up and parks on a corner in a yellow zone in front of a fire hydrant.the officer gets out of the car goes a couple of doors down to have coffee we went to the same place so i know exactly what he was doing lmao.Officers are supposed to lead by example.

This is eight months old, and not very specific. If it is still a problem for

Why won't the city enforce parking in an tow away zone?

New Truck is appearing a yellow Penske Truck was there all weekend.

No, the issue titled "Running red lights" (at the intersection of Fountain Street and Forest Road) has not been fixed. I see no evidence that it has even been addressed at all.

I suppose you might as well close this clicket, rather than keep sending me the same question every two weeks.

If the intersection were designed correctly, people would be much less prone to running red lights.

The street is currently designed to speed cars through as fast as possible, which is why it is easy for drivers to "sneak through" at a high speed.

Slow the speeds down dramatically using more progressive road designs like those found in NYC's street design manual, and you'll virtually eliminate this dangerous behavior. Not to mention making it a lot safer if people do get in a crash.

Close

I've had way too many near misses here!

Capt. Lull has asked the beat officers to keep an eye on this problem. However, Sunday morning parking is generally not enforced in no parking zones near churches throughout the City.

The Police have reported that they are monitoring closely. The Public Works Department is also doing a sign study to ensure that the no parking areas are adequately marked.

Capt. Lull of the Southeast District has asked his beat officers to keep an eye out here for illegal parking.

@ James - Would it be possible for you to provide additional information about where you're seeing this illegal parking? Any additional details you can provide would be a great help to Raleigh officials. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions by emailing us at contact@seeclickfix.com.

Directly in front of the Food Lion store in the fire lane. Often vehicles are parked running with no one in the cars.

We'll keep an eye on this but unfortunately will not be able to station officers there all the time. You may want to follow up with the Food Lion management since if the building were to require emergency services and the fire department could not get equipment adequately to the building it could be a liability issue for them.

Captain Niemann of the Southwest Police District will ask the day-shift beat officers to increase parking enforcement in this zone. However, for the long term, he indicates he will also alert our community services sergeant to the problem, so his squad can work it intermittently throughout the year.
