Drop off/pickup traffic at Neely causes massive backups during those time periods making Houston a non-viable road for through traffic. Switching the pickup corner or adding a pedestrian crossing light would be helpful since it's timed vs relying on crossing guard decisions

There is a lot of street racing down this street - particularly in the afternoons. It would be nice to have this patrolled more if possible. Thank you.

ReplyTraffic control lines are confusing. There are a lot of wrong way drivers northbound on Islands Drive West by the school. And during school drop off and pickup time, cars park on the ROW.. Huge mess.

This area of McQueen park (to the North of the McQueen Park Activity Center) is just gravel with a few plants, but offers a lot more usable space for the park. It would be nice to have additional walking paths installed, and more landscaping. There is a cactus growing here by a bench. Maybe this area could be used as a mini Desert Bontanical Garden, with a path that walks along a lot of cactus and other desert plants? Or, even just a circular path around this area with dense shrubs planted in the middle for more wildlife habitat.

Guadalupe and N Sirrine St needs a pedestrian crossing across Guadalupe. Perhaps a pedestrian activated signal, similar to the canal crossings?

ReplyI agree with this request/concern. Kokopelli golf course is directly in a large neighborhood. Trying to cross Guadalupe from either side is dangerous unless you walk to McQueen or further down West.
Having some pedestrian crossing would be ideal.

For the longest time, the Welcome to the Town Of Gilbert Monument Sign was in disrepair. It was missing a letter and some letters were off color. The lettering seems to be fixed now, but the Monument Sign and landscaping around it are not inviting and in a poor state. Certainly does not look inviting and like other more updated and nice Monument Signs and landscaping welcoming people into Gilbert at other locations.

Encinas Street like every other County Island the Town has annexed has had minimal street maintenance performed on it since it transitioned from county-owned to Gilbert-owned. For over twenty years, all that has been done is the application of a few thin coatings of asphalt slurry. The corner of Nevada and Encinas is noticeably sunken down and needs to be built up. The Town of Gilbert drives down this road every day to service its water treatment facility on Nevada Street. It's time for a new paved road like was promised in the last budget override vote.

ReplyPlease note that I spoke with Pacer at the March 27, 2024 public meeting and he asked that I note a revision of his last sentence to reflect "It's time for a new paved road like was promised in the last BOND override vote."

The Town allowed the Weinburger Waste Transfer Station just south of Guadalupe Road off of Cooper Road. There are so many businesses and landscapers hauling trailers full of junk and green waste non-stop every business day. There is always junk in the road from those who do not cover their trailers. Much of the junk ends up in the open irrigation ditch along Cooper Road and causes issues with the irrigation system and leaves junk in peoples' yards along West Encinas St. when irrigation runs. Cooper Road often looks like Gilbert Road on the reservation on way to the Salt River Dump -junk always alongside the road. The Town needs to have street sweepers and trash cleanup crews come down this road almost everyday. The Town and Police Department should give citations to anyone traveling down Cooper Road with a dysfunctional trailer, a trailer that is not covered, a trailer that does not have its junk tied down, etc. Or have the Police Stationed at the entrance to Weinburger's and give tickets their. Maybe that will change behavior.
