Overhanging bushes
I was struck that there are pedestrian ramps on the south side of W. 3rd St. This indicates to me, as a pedestrian, that there is an intention for me to be able to cross Patterson Blvd. Having done this on multiple occasions, I take my life in my hands: there is a right-hand turning lane on Patterson at 3rd. Many vehicles turn right onto Patterson while traveling east on 3rd, and don't anticipate a pedestrian. There is no crosswalk at this location, which will be imperative with the new retail development just west of this intersection. While I doubt that there are many pedestrians crossing here, you may as well anticipate a crossing signal, which would be a kindness.
low hanging tree branches and bushes blocking sidewalk. one branch looks dangerous.
There are no marked crosswalks at High and HIllside/Moores Pike.
Sidewalk unusable, has been for years depending on season. Either it's mud covered areas or vegetation that blocks the ability to use. One more option exists and its when both happen at once. However, thank you for mowing, makes that corner usable.
Gravel from this private drive piled up on the path, is spread from here, going east all the way past the performance auto sign.
The side path along the west side of South Sare from E Moores Pike to E Cathcart is about half blocked at multiple points by trees and shrubs. Have seen people step into roadway to avoid other path users.
The pedestrian crossing signal button to walk from East to West across S Walnut St does not work. The one on the south East corner. I've tested it a few times in the late afternoon and waited through several full traffic light cycles. The pedestrian crossing buttons on the other corners and directions do work.
Have reported this before, never got an answer. I was told it was something to do with the city and guard rail study. The trail at this location is below the grade of the road on Moores Pike. I requested evaluation for a guard rail to protect walkers from a car leaving the road and rolling over the hill. This is a high speed road and it is very unnerving to walk along this trail. Send someone out and stand there to see what I mean.
