Grant street between 8th and 9th alongside plantation north apts
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.
Drain cover missing at 704 N Walnut Street
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.
The painted surfaces for cross walks and stop line indicators are worn to the point that they are non-existent on one of the four sections for that intersection. As you are aware, this is a high pedestrian area as it feeds both hospital & Kroger's. Thank you very much for this consideration; I know it is an expensive one to bring up to code (or at least close to code standards)
Big pothole again on northbound lane about 2550-2650 N Russell Rd.
Area of sidewalk is very muddy and flooded. Eroded.
Sidewalk on the eastside of South Washington in the 500 block is dangerous. It has a deep dip that cannot be seen at night. It is also badly cracked
I have called several times over the last 3 years to report a dangerous curb on our street corner. Last summer a young child was injured when they hit the broken curb and fell. Please take care of this soon. The standing water each winter makes it more and more of a hazard as the cement freezes and thaws constantly there. Perhaps you could eliminate the standing water and prevent another deteriorated curb situation in the future. Your quick response would very much be appreciated. Thank you.
Manhole structure is askew. Cover is labeled "traffic signal" so this may be a state maintenance issue. Thanks.
