Avenue of Pines - state ran out of paint? Archived

122-190 Avenue Of The Pines Saratoga Springs, NY 12866, USA - Saratoga Springs

The yellow lines were partially repainted on the Avenue of Pines and then abruptly stopped as though they ran out of paint. This still creates a dangerous situation at night and during heavy rain causing the cars to swerve over into oncoming traffic. White lines have been painted on the edges which has helped. Can we just finish the job?

Ever heard of a budget crunch? NYS is in debt.

I drive along this route at least three times a week and find it quite nerve-wracking to navigate along the curved sections near the car museum, the spring water gazebo and in front of the Gideon Putnum with absolutely NO road markings. Hey...regardless of "budget crunch and NYS in debt" as PD pointed out, this area is dangerous especially at night and during a storm. Granted, it's not a huge stretch of highway (probably the reason someone can't get back to it...just like getting a contractor back to finish a project at your home) but with the sake of safety in mind, please, please get those necessary lines back on the road.

Now 2 weeks ago, the pavement has just been partially replaced on the sections that needed patching. This pavement has covered the lines up completely in the dangerous areas across from the Car Museum containing the culvert and the intersection at the entrance to the Gideon Putnam Road which is confusing at night with the 3 way roads. Please put both the yellow and while lines in during a warm spell. I have seen cars cross over into oncoming lanes and also almost hit pedestrians on the path. This is an accident waiting to happen.

non-functioning left-turn arrow Archived

Grooms Rd & Interstate 87 & County Road 91 Clifton Park, NY 12065, USA - Halfmoon, NY

eastbound traffic on grooms rd is meant to have the benefit of a left-turn arrow when turning north (left) onto the exit 8A northway (northbound) entrance ramp ---- however, this left-turn arrow has been dark (has not functioned) for many weeks, if not many months --- any help you can arrange for this problem, safety issue, will be much appreciated!! thank you!

Need Traffic Light Archived

469 Kinns Rd Clifton Park, NY 12065, USA - Clifton Park

There is a need for a traffic light at the corner of Kinns Rd. and the Twilight Dr. entrance to Country Knolls South. How do we make this happen?

K. Anderson (Guest)

Yes, yes, yes Melynnda...you are so right! Whether you are on Twilight trying to get out or on Pierce trying to turn in either direction the steady flow of traffic on Kinns Road makes it near impossible to find a break in order to safely do this. Someone please take note...this needs attention!!!

Leaves creating hazards Archived

Through-Out The City Of Saratoga Springs - Saratoga Springs

All through the city plies of leaves can found in streets creating driving and drainage problems; In many cases one has to drive on the wrong side of the street to avoid the massive piles or allow someone else approaching on the wrong side to pass. The leaves, and other debris, are deposited in the road against city ordance, but nothing is done by public safety . If anything the city encouages people to do this by using tax payer monies to collect the illegal piles.

East Avenue has been particularly bad over the last week, with leaves halfway out into the lane, turning this into a one-lane road plus a whole bunch of dodging in the other lane. Hazardous to drivers, and if we got a good rain, I'd hate to see what the drainage would(not) be like.

I hate to say it, but under the previous Public Works administration the leaves in Geyser Crest were vacumned up multiple times throughout the autumn season. Now, we've not seen them yet this year. What's the deal?

With snow covering the ground leaves present no problem. Snow banks are now the issue.

Need better lighting for safety Archived

111 Church St Saratoga Springs, NY 12866, USA - Saratoga Springs

In the summer the trees are so thick that it is dangerously dark on Church Street from West Lawrence to Van Dam at night. We need to have the kind of street lamps that exist on either end of the street. An immediate solution would be to cut back the trees.

With new construction across the street and proposed for down the street, I am hopeful that Church Street will be brighter and safer

As it should be within the City's Right-of-Way most probably, then it would be the City's responsibility.

Trucks on Congress Ave. Archived

Railroad Run Saratoga Springs, NY - Saratoga Springs

Congress Ave. is posted for weight limit of 5 tons. Tractor trailers use the street constantly. Perhaps there could be a flashing light put on the signs to draw attention to them.

No, the problem has not been solved. I don't think it ever will be. I have also sent emails to different offices in City Hall, asking for a "5 Ton Weight" sign to be put on S. Broadway at the light at W. Fenlon. The sign is on W. Fenlon and isn't seen until the trucks turn onto the street. Too late then..

No, the problem has not been solved. It never will be as long as there are no clear signs posted BEFORE the trucks reach W. Fenlon or New Streets. I am closing the issue. I can't do it by myself and I have sent many emaills to City Hall, to no avail.. Just let the trucks roll down Congress Ave. and shake our houses off their foundations, like they have for years.

Signs????? do you mean 30 MPH signs? This town does not enforce speed limits...the trucks wouldn't be so bad if they were at the speed limit...but when they are travel at I-87 speeds, excessive of 65-75 mph in the middle of the night, when the housel is rumbling and shaking due to a bump in the road or a sudden stop because the truck has to turn on finley street...and trucks put on the jac brakes...is unbearable....we should sue the city of saratoga springs for not enforcing the speed limit...yes that's what we should do.....

I understand what you are saying about the speed limit, but I was talking about the "5 Ton Weight Limit" signs... They do absolutely no good when they are posted on W. Fenlon St., AFTER, the truckers take the left, and on New St. AFTER the truckers have crossed Ballston Ave. I sent an email, or two, to City Hall, asking why there couldn't be a sign on S. Broadway BEFORE they get in the left turn lane for W. Fenlon. It's too late, once they get on that street.. It happens all day long.. The houses on Congress Ave., which is an extension of New St., literally shake on their foundations, which makes them crack.. and my windows rattle...the floors are all uneven... My complaints have fallen on deaf ears, just like the sand that's in my pipes...that comes through the faucets.. Nope, there is no problem with the city's underground pipes.... I replaced all the pipes in my house, to the tune of over $4,000, so I don't think it's on my end.. I rest my case and have closed my complaint. Time to move..
