Concerns over traffic safety and signage dominated the University Park City Council meeting on November 5, as residents voiced urgent needs for improvements in their neighborhood. A local resident highlighted the ongoing issues with insufficient signage, noting that a two-way traffic sign had recently been knocked over, exacerbating safety concerns.

The resident emphasized the necessity for enhanced curb and signage measures, pointing out that the current conditions have led to congestion and traffic problems, particularly with service delivery vehicles. "There’s not enough space," they stated, underscoring the urgency of the situation.

Additionally, the resident raised the issue of parking tickets being issued without adequate notice, suggesting that those affected should have their fines forgiven. This plea resonated with others in the community who have faced similar challenges due to a lack of information regarding parking regulations.

Child safety was also a key concern, with calls for a coordinated plan to address these issues. The resident recalled a previous effort to develop a traffic flow and parking plan for the area, indicating a long-standing need for action.

As discussions continue, the City Council faces pressure to address these critical safety and communication gaps, with residents eager for tangible solutions to improve their community's traffic conditions.
