well maybe you could ask them to turn on the lights on the side when events are going on but aren't most game seasons ending (Except football)? I dont know you but I'm just saying it's not safe.

Jaywalking students Open

Liberty At Walnut - Painesville

Every day around 2:45pm, the intersection of Liberty and Walnut is overrun with Harvey HS students and Heritage Middle School students who apparently don't know how to properly cross an intersection. This backs up vehicular traffic in all directions.

I agree! There should be an officer or security guard monitoring these kids after school, they cut right in front of moving cars like they want to be hit. They pay no attention to the walk/dont walk signs, and many don't even cross at the corners. I have also seen numerous fights among groups of kids who gather on Liberty and Walnut after school.

still concerned (Guest)

Tuesday morning, 10:00 A.M. I was going North on Fern to get on Rt 2. At Jackson Street, I HAD A GREEN LIGHT to turn right. A LAKETRAN BUS was coming off Rt 2 and turning left on to Jackson. I could not make the turn fast enough for this bus to turn left onto Jackson. Now I know that they do not have a green light at the same time. The light in their lane is RED. The light to go straight on FERN is GREEN, The light to turn right is GREEN. This happens all the time, they go thru a RED light to turn on Jackson from RT 2. I NEVER know when I should turn, as they will not stop. They cannot understand that red is stop. Something needs to be done about this.

I drive past this area every day and some of the pedestrians just run out into the street without looking. They walk accross the street as if there is nobody around, someday they might be dead right.

I have stopped when I see people getting ready to cross. Once I had the car behind me blow his horn. Ohio state law says all traffic must yeald to pedestrians in all crosswalks, within reason. We cannot just jump in front of a car when it's within feet of the crosswalk, or as I see in painesville a lot , jay walkers. When I see jay walkers I blow my horn and the show me their I.Q.

I'm amazed at how many sheriff dept employees don't know or respect the law enough to use the crosswalk. I always yield to someone crossing in the crosswalk, but many just squeeze through the bushes and start crossing like the traffic can read their minds.

House needs condemned Open

558 Nottingham Place Painesville Ohio 44077 - Painesville

This house is falling apart. The bathroom is in terrible shape with mold growing within the walls. The ceiling is cracked in several places and various windows throughout the home have cracks in them, one appearing to be from a BB gun. Also its a health hazard because the residents there (who do not own the house but rent it from a slumlord) have at least 10 cats. Also the front porch appears ready to collapse at any time. The tenants have told me that they tell their landlord refuses to fix any of the problems unless the city gives him a notice. Also recently the city passed an ordinace where the tenants are not to pay the trash pick up bill, but the landlord is now responsible for paying the trash bill. However this landlord just mails the bill back to the tenants. I would recomend that the city ivestigate this house.

The garbage companies were having problems collecting payments from renters who would move and not pay what they owed on their bill, and considering Painesville has a fairly large number of rental homes they were losing alot of money that they were owed. So the best and easiest way for the garbage company to be able to collect what they are owed is to put the bill in the home owners name, but that does NOT mean the owner can't continue charging the renter for the bill, especially if it's listed in the lease/rental contract that paying for garbage pick-up is the renters responsibility! They put the bills in the owners name for legal accountability purposes since they know who they are renting to and the garbage company was having a hard time tracking people who move frequently!

mentor ave. Open

1009 Mentor Ave. Painesville Ohio 44077 - Painesville

Mentor ave. or route 20 should go back as a 4 lane road. You can not get on mentor ave. from any of the side streets unless you wait a long time or if some one lets you merg. When west bound traffic goes by then the east line goes by and you can't merg on to mentor.

Just wait - we cycle back and forth with the lanes on Mentor Avenue. Four lanes does work - people just need to driving responsibily. We used to be able to drive on roads that were much narrower.

The traffic on this stretch of Rt. 20 (Mentor Ave.) is ridiculous since the city (in their infinite wisdom) changed the paint to 1 lane in each direction, plus a turning lane. I know that the road was never wide enough (legally) to make it 2 lanes in each direction, but this new solution just does not work! Here's a suggestion that I have seen work in other cities; Make the center lane direction optional. At certain times of the day when the traffic flow is heavier westbound make 2 lanes westbound (with clearly marked digital signs for the center lane), and when traffic flow is heavier eastbound make the center lane eastbound. BTW people are already doing this themselves at the risk of others!
The only other option is tear it all up AGAIN, and make the road wider to accommodate 2 (full) lanes in each direction.
Ultimately, the City of Painesville is planning a major revitalization, but if people can't get from the Painesville Commons Shopping Center to downtown Painesville on Rt. 20, it will al be for naught.

BRigo2 makes a lot of sense. If only someone would listen. It never made sense to do it this way. Isn't it sad that we pay the taxes that keep our city officials in office and yet they don't listen to the needs of the people. The long lines of traffic are horrible and everytime we leave the YMCA I feel like we're risking our lives trying to get in or to get out.

Painesville Rt 20 - Attention! 2 lanes turns into 1! Open

1082-1130 U.S. 20 Painesville, OH 44077, USA - Painesville

Every day, I drive eastbound on Rt 20 into Painesville. As I pass the RR crossing at Fairgrounds Rd. and continue through the stop light at Fern Dr., the left lane ends shortly after that. There are at least 2 - 3 cars that speed up and try desperately to squeeze into the right lane traffic. There is only a small yellow sign by the Pizza Hut/ Wings Restaurant that no body seems to pay attention to. Is there another way to block out that left lane earlier to let people know ahead of time that the lane ends. Thank you.

If people wouldn't drive 25 in a 35 (ahem, illegal aliens who don't want trouble) people might not be tempted to pass all the slow and dumb up. I have almost been overcome with temptation before.

It worked fine driving as two lanes in each direction.
Roads did not used to be as wide as they are now.
It took basic driving skills to drive safely when it was two lanes.
Drivers have been too distracted for years now. Look at the extra reflective material on stop signs now. Train crossings - it should be common sense that you stop at train tracks. We should not have to have gates at so many crossings.
Drive responsibily folks.
Accept responsibility for your actions.

The sign that is above Route 20 East at Fern Drive shows the left lane is straight and needs to be removed. Currently the signs shows left and right lanes are open. Also put a sign prior to rr tracks showing the left land ends and drivers need to merge to the right to proceed East on Route 20. There is a lawsuit waiting to happen when, God forebid gets killed or severly injured. So they can sue the deep pockets of ODOT and contractor that completed the conctruction project who left the road signage incorrect
