The intersection of Winslow Road and Allendale is unsafe. As a resident of Sherwood Oaks, weekly I witness people driving through the stop signs on Winslow Rd. or not obeying right of way. In addition, there is no safe way for pedestrians to cross Winslow from Allendale to the multi-use trail that is on the North side of Winslow (leading to the Winslow Sports Park and YMCA). This is a very wide intersection and it is not one that motorists easily see pedestrians because of the width. A flashing light, a pedestrian crossing sign, or pedestrian crossing painted stripes on the roadway would help. Sherwood Oaks and neighboring areas have many walkers who use the crossing and it is not safe to do so. In particular for children who cross the street to the park on foot or bike.

There is a road construction sign that has been laying turned over in the grass for weeks at United Commerce Bank (on 3rd Street between College & Walnut) that needs to be stood up or removed. Thank you!

Pedestrian lights and controls do not work correctly for any corner of the College Mall - Covenanter insection. For example, there are no pedestrian lights at all for the SW corner, none EW on the SE corner. There in no EW on the NW corner. The effect is that pedestrians cannot cross College Mall from W to E. Please fix immediately before someone is hurt badly.

All Stop signs and speed limit signs on Henderson St., from Miller Dr. to 1st Street seem to be invisible because no one ever heeds them. I would think Police presence would help, but perhaps public works could do something to convince motorists that this is not a major, high speed artery. We have a school, a park, and many pedestrians. Yesterday (4/8/13) I saw a car, traveling 40-50 mph, narrowly miss a college student at the bus stop by Blacks Lumber. Also two children have been hit in the Templeton School zone this year. This is a problem.

I would like to bring to your attention the poor walkability of Rockport Rd between W Pinehurst Dr and Graham. This 200 yards' block is the "missing link" between the Southern Pines neighborhood (which has a decent sidewalk network) and the Country View apartment complex, which has the closest city bus stop. On this block of Rockport Rd, if one is to walk north from W Pinehurst Dr along the west side of Rockport, the sidewalk simply ends in a fence (pictured in the photo attached). I pass there often, and I've seen pedestrians use the road shoulder, which is quite dangerous, what with the narrow street, heavy traffic, and limited visibility (hills). On the east side of Rockport Rd, there is sidewalk part of the way, but it is not continuous either; besides, crossing the road twice may be dangerous, especially for older people and children, considering what the traffic and visibility in Rocport Rd is like. I think it would be highly useful for many residents (and for people who have to drive through there) if some kind of improvement project were undertaken. One ought to either build a sidewalk along the west side of the road, or to complete the sidewalk along the east side and create marked pedestrian crossings at W. Graham and W. Pinehurst (or W. Ralston).

There has been a large dip in the concrete in this sidewalk for quite some time now. It is located right when you pull in off of Third Street into the alley between Baked Cookies and Sweet Claire's bakery. The sidewalk must have been unstable when it was poured and one section has sunk down about six inches, leaving a ledge between the two sections. Thanks for your attention to this concern.

The storm grate has been eroded around the edge and there is a large hole on the side. This should be filled in as soon as possible so that someone does not accidentally step inside and twist their leg or ankle. I noticed the hole a few days ago but it seems to have gotten bigger and bigger. Thanks!

I have seen on multiple occasions in the past two weeks many small rats and large mice running about in the parking lot at the old post office building, across the street from the downtown church and bus stop. This problem should be addressed as soon as possible so that the rodents do not venture out and make homes for themselves down the street (where I live) and towards our beautiful downtown and 4th Street. Rodents are unsightly and, more importantly, a public health hazard, and I would hate to see them get out of hand. Thanks in advance for taking action on this issue.

One way sign at the corner of Karen St. and Southdowns Ave. has been twisted to indicate that Karen is one-way rather than Southdowns Ave
