Thank for reporting. This is being referred to the Public Works Department. An update will be posted when we have received their response.

The Public Works Department has responded. A sign will be installed next week.

I am sure this was just overlooked. Thanks for reporting this.

I've referred this to our Public Works Department. When the staff has had a chance to respond I’ll post an update. Thanks for reporting.

Since it was indicated that cars are consistently blocking the fire hydrant, staff has submitted a work order for no parking signs fifteen feet on either side of the fire hydrant. Please note that parking signs at a fire hydrant are not required for it to be illegal or for parking citations to be issued.

This was already moved, closing this issue.

There also happens to be fire hydrant on the corner next to the crosswalk, it would make sense not only to prevent residents from getting tickets from the overzealous ticket writers with their measuring tapes, but provide consistent access for a fire truck in the event of an emergency. There is already a no parking sign on the Mayo side pointing back to Hillsborough St.

The Public Works Department has responded. Thank you for taking the time to report this concern. We have reviewed the citations recently written in this block and placed work orders for no parking signs in the appropriate areas. The areas include the crosswalks, stop signs, and areas between driveways that are too small to park in without violating the five feet rule. The work should be completed within a week. Please do not hesitate to contact Sherry Beville via email at sherry.beville@raleighnc.gov directly if you continue to have problems.

Thank you!

A work order has been initiated to have this stop fixed ASAP.

I will refer to Public Works Department again. I will post an update later. Thanks.

This has been replaced.

Thanks! It looks great!

@TriangleTransitCommuter, that was the whole point of the redesign.

There is a physical median and signage being installed here at this time. This should make the crosswalk more prominent and encourage drivers to be more careful here.

@ David, that's why I would like to see some data on how much the redesigned as lessened traffic on Hillsborough Street and shifted the traffic to Western. I'd be willing to bet that it hasn't. Hillsborough Street is worse than ever.

I'd also like to say Thank You to the City of Raleigh for installing the pedestrian crosswalk island. This should help keep cars from passing the buses in the turn lane when they are stopped at the Y.

This area is designated as no parking. Staff will submit a work order to replace the missing signage.

Consultants are testing new coordination patterns currently. No plans are definite yet. We will continue to monitor and make the necessary changes. Thanks for your concern in the efficient and safe movement of traffic.

Staff field checked these issues this morning and work orders are in the process to fix these issues. This corridor is especially challenging since we are dealing with three service providers that share stops. Signage along this corridor should be fixed by the end of this week or first of next. Thank you.

This hasn't been fixed and I am reopening this issue because bus drivers do not stop here since there is not a sign. We were told last week it would be fixed within a day. LIARS!

This item has been corrected.

This is being referred to Raleigh Police Department. An update will be posted when they have responded. Thanks!

Here is a picture of an illegally parked car almost at the intersection of Glenwood/Fairview. Friday afternoon @ 4:15. Already early in the afternoon - but parked illegally for 15 min - and the traffic because of this was backed up to Mrytle. If the car wasn't there, we'd have two moving lanes...not just one. RPD needs to be on the spot @ 4pm..ticketing and towing.

RPD has been ticketing cars in these areas and the Five Points area recently. They are working with businesses in these areas to mention it to their customers and to post signs at their registers about the parking restrictions, hopefully that will help. RPD has been made aware on the times noted above and parking enforcement is continuing in this area.

It's supposed to be a stop for 16, not 8.

This should be taken care of by the end of the week.

I agree with Batman. We can't expect the city to handle everything.

Somebody took them down.

Based on the previous comment, we are closing this issue.

@Raleigh DLA - I'm aware Hampton has been proactive about being a good citizen... but I never heard anything about the sign. And I'm close by, member of my neighborhood org, etc.

Since this sign can be used elsewhere in their chain (they can, right?) maybe they can, as an additional gesture of goodwill, change this to a smaller size to fit in better. Seeing it live is different than seeing an artist's rendering.

The City of Raleigh Zoning Inspectors has responded. Each business is allowed a total of 2 square feet of signage for every foot of building frontage that has a public entrance. The installed signage was reviewed, permitted, and installed as approved. No violation of sign ordinance. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Thanks!

I live near by it is ok , Think it a good to have something new !

*median not media

The new Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) Units are specifically designed to meet the new Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standard. The MUTCD is a Federal Highway publication that is fully adopted by NCDOT and the City of Raleigh. The new APS units have a vibro-tactile push button which was designed with input from the ADA and the visually impaired. The new units have a "speech" message since the "koo koo/chirp chirp was difficult to discern what direction was safe to cross when the speakers were close. The sounds can be used in lieu of the verbal message if the speakers are located a specified distance apart.

The MUTCD thoroughly tests all traffic control devices prior to adoption. The new APS units were found to be intuitive and less confusing then the older setup. When the button is depressed, the APS units provide a verbal message to wait. While this may be an annoyance to the general public, it serves a purpose for the visually impaired. The new units adjust the volume of the speech messages based on surrounding noise levels. We have had issues with the newer units producing too loud of the auto locate noise level. The units located near the NCSU campus are there to help with the Morehead School of the Blind located off of Pullen Drive. The City does not typically install these units unless requested by a visually impaired individual. If you know of a specific location where you feel the volume is too loud, please let us know. We can have a technician verify or adjust the sound level if needed.
