Put trash out yesterday. Recycling was picked up but not the trash.

There needs to be a yield to pedestrian sign for cars turning left from McDonough to Trinity. There is no arrow for cars, so on the green cars rush through the intersection, not yielding to the pedestrians who are crossing the street to the new multi-use sidewalk along Decatur high school.

Cars turning right often use the bike lane as a turning lane at the corner of Trinity and Commerce. A barrier reminding drivers not to do this would improve safety at this intersection.

Yield sign is falling down at commerce and Clairemont. Yield sign also is located too far away from intersection so cars speed through the intersection turning right from church to commerce and do not look for pedestrians in crosswalk. Yield sign is also too small and too hard to see for drivers -even if it wasn't falling down. -

The pedestrian paddle has been missing at this crosswalk for months.

The pedestrian walk signal is not working. When it is working, the signal takes too long to switch to walk (At some times during the day, it switches within a few seconds. Other times of day it takes much longer).

The cars must stop for pedestrians in intersection sign has been down for several weeks. I was nearly hit by a car this past weekend when a car illegally crossed the yellow line at this crosswalk to get to the traffic light a block ahead and did not see us crossing.

I also saw the same incident of a car illegally crossing the yellow line at this pedestrian crosswalk today when a middle school child was walking his bike in the crosswalk. This pedestrian cross walk sign needs to be added as soon as possible before there is serious injury.

The walk signal at Commerce and Howard is difficult to get to because of the shrubbery in the way, especially for wheelchair users. The picture I included is of a walk signal extender in Huntsville, AL. This extender would make the intersection here in Decatur and others throughout the city (when necessary) safer.

The intersection of Ponce Place and Clairemont is difficult and dangerous with no traffic light for cars making left turns from Ponce Place. Additionally, children and parents on their way to and from school everyday must cross the street with no cross walk. This is within the Clairemont Elementary school zone in which the school and Smarties Academy is just across the street and only half a block away. This should be fixed to prevent loss of life.

Traffic signal does not trigger by a bicycle when traveling down Lucerne across Church Street to Glenlake Park. Traffic intersection would be safer for all modes of travel if it were on a regular cycle or signal could be triggered by bicycle/scooter etc.

Duration of traffic light is too short for bicyclists to get through this large four lane intersection, especially from Wilton to Superior.

The walk signal is not working at the corner of Commerce Dr and Church St (on the side with very little sidewalk and a big green bush that incidentally makes it difficult to press the button). I was walking from Kroger towards the first baptist church.
