There is a large amount of sand in the road next to the bicycle shop.
There is a large amount of sand in the road next to the bicycle shop.
The sand and gravel in the bicycle lane was never removed (from Old State Route 37 to 11th Street), even though it was reported 16 days ago. See Case #204099.
New wheelchair game curb is a 2-3 inch drop. Northeast corner of intersection of W Pinehurst & S Southern Pines
on Rogers/Madison, where it changes name and crosses over the railroad tracks just north of 11th street, the bike lane is on the uphill side of the street. so at the apex, it switches from one side of the street to the other. at this switching point, we have lost our 'dashed line' merge zones. i am hoping that someone from Engineering will go look at the facts on the ground and validate its correctness. when it was conceptually designed back in 2011, i thought "gee they're gonna have to do a good job of signing that if it's not going to be a nightmare for cyclists to merge into traffic". and then when it was *finally* implemented around 2017-2019, it was just striped lines indicating that there is a merge. but when the bridge was re-decked in 2020-2021, they repainted it wrong. and subsequent generations of painting have each made it worse, to where the southbound merge zone is completely missing and cyclists are directed to stay in the abruptly-ending bike lane on the dangerous high speed downhill segment. and the northbound merge zone has been reduced to about 30 feet, again, at the wrong place for the merge.
Intersection of E 10th St. and E. Discovery Parkway has no crosswalk or pedestrian signaling. I have noted numerous people sprinting across from the bus stops adjacent to the USPS building and Fountain Park Apartments. It appears to be a busy enough pedestrian area, whether it be to access the College Mall area, get to the post office, or otherwise make it back to one's home.
At the corner of Wilton and Greenbriar Lane, the sidewalk goes around the corner without going to the street. There are many kids from Beechwood Manor, Arden Place, and Greenbriar Hills neighborhoods who use this sidewalk to get to the crosswalk on High Street at the Wimbledon initersection on their way to Child's elementary.
Large amounts of debris, plant overgrowth, and logs in the road
There is loose gravel and sand in curb area, some of which is in the pedestrian path area.
The sidewalk has a severe depression that collects rain (and ice in the winter), often to a depth of 3 or 4 inches. The problem started last year immediately after the area was reconstructed with new grass on either side. Someone did not think about the consequences of building grass higher than the level of a sidewalk that is not level.
I just submitted another ticket for this location but made a mistake. The shrubs are blocking the sidewalk on the west side of the street south of smith
