My address is 1202 E. Wylie Street. The city repaired the sidewalk in front of our house in July 2010. Last fall it began spalling and breaking apart. There is now broken, small pieces of concrete in a section in front of our house. Would the city please send someone to look at it? Thank you.
Good afternoon, I am writing to report an issue with water drainage coming from the roofs of houses and dumping on to the sidewalk. Along N. Indiana Ave, many houses/apartments (owned by Elkins Apartments) have drainage downspouts that empty directly on to the sidewalk. This creates a hazard with constant freeze and thew during the winter months. I have personally felt unsafe walking down a sloped sidewalk, on what is pure ice during periods this winter. Indiana Ave. is a very high foot traffic area during winter months as fans walk to and from basketball games. From witnessing several people slip and fall on the ice, I feel like it is my duty as a citizen to report this issue to the city. Though we have been blessed this season with relatively mild temperatures, this does not overshadow the safety hazard created from the downspouts off many of these houses. This problem would ideally need to be handled quickly before the next cold spell of weather. Thank you. Best regards
Directly in front of Amrit India Restaurant- sidewalk at large lamp post is broken apart, is uneven, and has ledges that someone could easily trip over
Trees on swale need trimming, you cannot walk on sidewalk standing upright. There are trees that need trimming on both sides of East Keri Mari Lane in swale - between sidewalk and road.
Several areas of concern in the Winslow Farm/Walnut Creek neighborhoods: 1) Along S. Henderson across from the ice rink, adjacent to Bayberry Condos, and south of Wylie Farm Road to Graham Drive have a number of limbs handing over the sidewalk. 2) Wylie Farm Road from Henderson to Azalea Lane has limbs over the sidewalk (near Henderson and over the wooden walkways near Azalea Lane are areas of particular safety concern). 3) Azalea Lane east of Summerwood Court, across from Summit Pointe Apartments, and adjacent to the 2100 S. Bent Tree Drive and 2101 S. Bent Tree Drive has tree limbs hanging over the sidewalk. Also, grass and brush is growing nearly four feet high in the strip. (See attached photo) Thank you for arranging inspection and monitoring the property owners (Bayberry HOA, Winslow Farm HOA, and homeowners adjacent to the property on Azalea Lane) taking care of these public safety issues and code violations.
There is a very uneven sidewalk just to the east of our offices (Bloom Magazine -- 414 W. 6th street). The uneven portion is in front of the Applegate Building. Several of our staff members and guests have taken bad falls there; someone fell again today really hurting themselves. Can you please check into this and report back as to when it might be fixed? If needed, we'll put your Legal Department on formal notice of this hazard. One day someone is going to crack their head open at that spot -- it really needs to be repaired as there is a fair amount of traffic on this sidewalk. Thanks.
Black Lumber called MCCSC. Someone walked through the new sidewalk in front of Black Lumber. It was still green and footprints were left in it.
My mother is elderly (86) and lives at 510 W. Dodds St. There used to be an ornamental tree in front of her house in the treeplot. It was removed a couple of years ago and now a tag has been put in the treeplot indicating it is for a tree to be planted. Could we PLEASE request a tree that doesn't have crabapples or berries? It is not possible for her to clean up the messes on the sidewalk and she has to pay someone to do it for her. I'm not sure if I got the right place. If not let me know and I'll direct my inquiry to the proper office. Thank you.
north side of the 1200 block of Wylie Street. Entire sidewalk and curb needs repair or replacement.
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).
