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).
Part of a sign post that was knocked off by some sort of car crash. The remaining post fragment is very sharp. If someone tripped on top of it, serious injury could result. On the west side of Union St just south of 5th St.

Sidewalk has large gaps weeks after construction
Walk signal crossing Patterson from north doesn't work.
missing metal drainage covers. extremely dangerous trip hazard!
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?
