[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should at least widen Reno to 4 travel lanes between Military and Porter.  That would be so convenient.  And get rid of those stupid speed bumps on Quebec St.[/quote]

I hate the speed bumps on Newark St.  Very unwelcoming.[/quote]

+1.  An accident closed part of Reno this evening, and the police were diverting traffic around on Newark to Woodley Rd.  Just.Hate.Those.Speedbumps.  You get the feeling that the neighborhood doesn't want people driving through.[/quote]

Because they don't? The whole point of the speed bumps is to slow or deter traffic. Newark isn't meant to be a main artery, there are only lights to make turning on a major street not a hazard on Wisconsin. Coming from Wisconsin on Newark and trying to turn left onto 34th is an accident waiting to happen. And does happen, frequently. Hardly a day goes by that I don't see an accident on the 4 blocks of 34th I walk to get my kids to and from school. [/quote]

Isn't Newark supposed to be an access road for Cathedral Commons?[/quote]

How so? One side of the parking garage entrance is on Newark, but the entry from Wisconsin to the portion of Newark is the one traffic light I mentioned, where it makes it not a hazard to try to dart into traffic from the side street onto a major street. So that issue is addressed for that purpose. There's no light to help make a turn in either direction from Newark onto to 34th. I see far fewer accidents on Macomb and 34 and Lowell and 34 where there are lights than on Newark and 34 or Ordway and 34. Accidents on those corners constantly.  [/quote]
