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.

The construction crew has blocked the sidewalk with fencing, and the grassy area is slick and muddy making it hazardous to walk on. As a result, pedestrians are walking in the traffic lane (not safe!). Can we find a different solution so nobody gets hurt?

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).

I'm a resident at S Southern Pines Ct. I and serveral of my neighoubrs rely on city bus #2 to go to work, and the only bus stop within walking distance is located at Country View Apts. However, there's no convenient way to get to the bus stop from Southern Pines, because there's no side walk on Rockport Rd between Country View Apts and Tapp Road. The road in this section is very narrow, and there's no shoulder next to the lane either. People would have to walk through bushes right next to the road. Plus, Rockport is becoming a rather busy road, with many cars constantly rushing by at a rather fast speed. With the limited visibility due to the the big slopes in this hilly section, it is extremely dangerous for pedestrians even during the day time, not to mention after dark. I strongly request the city to put an effort in completing the missing sidewalk on Rockport between Country View Apts and Tapp Road, since a lot of people's safety relies on this. Thank you.

The street sidewalk bordering the tennis courts in Southeast Park becomes miry after it rains, forcing us to detour to avoid very muddy feet and paws when we walk our dogs. The sidewalk appears to have sunk. It needs to be cleaned and some sort of barrier installed to check the erosion that is responsible for covering the walk, perhaps just a wooden barrier. If someone could look into rectifying this, it would be much appreciated.

Area of sidewalk is very muddy and flooded. Eroded.
