Here is what happened. Our contractor decided to place the delineators down with adhesive and come back within a week or two to permanently bolt them down. Our engineers stressed to the contractor that several intersections were high priority. As soon as our engineers found out what the contractor were doing, they stopped them. While the thought was well intentioned, the execution was not acceptable. The delineators will be permanently bolted down very soon by our contractor. This is on us, we are aware, and we are making sure it gets done correctly.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!

Thank you Althena for your follow up and explanation. Makes sense.

Trust me! I almost had a heart attack when I saw 3 of these types of complaints. This won't happen again.

Althea is the GOAT of JC City Government.

Are you my kid? Hiding behind an alias? Only my teen would say that!

Lmao, im not but im happy to be adopted if you can figure out how to put a speed bump or traffic light on Resevoir and Baldwin and ill sing your praises to anyone within four feet of me, strangers on the Bus, strangers on the Light Rail etc etc.

Oh, ok, sorry... i'm so old that I had no idea why i would be my son's goat, but then the engineer (the one determined to make New York Ave and Ravine better) said the acronym.... It was fire.

This was no part me and all part the engineers, Mike and Jen.

Below, for your amusement, you will see the message I sent Mike a few weeks ago.

Hahahahahaha, thank you guys for everything you do.

Loving this fun interaction! However, if these delineators are reinstalled can as assessment please be done on turning left to go down NY Ave? For the few days they were up the turn is very tight.

Wait....my guy, this is a joke right? Youre not supposed to be turning left on to NY Ave thats the entire purpose of those delineators.

this is happening as we speak. This happens often with large trailers....

re-opening

I will bring this to the attention of the engineers.

The newest request asked the following:

Delineators already need replacing to discourage drivers from making the left onto Ravine from SB New York Ave. Can we get Jersey barriers put in place until a permanent concrete island can be installed?

Why we know the permanent will be a few more weeks before being bolted down, we were unaware that they left them in the road. The contractor informed us that they had collected all of the ones that had been hot glued down temporarily. I will inform the traffic engineer right away.

The engineers have notified our contractor to pick up all the delineators today. I'm leaving this request open until you tell me this has been done.

We will be having them installed permanently soon.

You can pay for the entire job with the fines if the Police where to ticket all the cars making the illegal turn.

Two things:

1) Enforcement is the police division and we have no control over that.

2) The way the ticketing system works is that state law violations, which most, if not all, moving violations are, have a majority of the fine go to the State with a small portion going to the municipal court for administrative costs of contested tickets.

This in no way means that the police division does not issue tickets for every violation they see. Our officers are very dedicated to public safety. I just wanted to explain the break down of the fines and where they go. If it is a State law that is violated, we get nothing.

The red light cameras were fantastic, but were outlawed in 2014 unfortunately due to one town not properly running the program. Red cameras pay for themselves and for the officers that review the footage before issuing a ticket. :(
