In light of a lot of recent attempted home invasion activity along this block, having street lights in the alley between 10th and Cottage Grove is a necessary safety measure. It is incredibly dark in the alley and a perfect target for home invasions.
Street light in front of our house at 2205 E Arden (Arden and Greenfield Ct intersection) has been cycling on and off lately including this morning. May need to be changed (?)
The street light across Rock Creek Drive from the entrance to S. Childs Court has burned out. We would really appreciate it if that can be replaced quickly - otherwise, Childs Court is totally dark.
The light sporadically turns off at night when it should be on. I have attached a picture of the light. I often find it too dark to see where I am walking in my yard when the light goes off. Thank you!
The traffic light on N Walnut Street at State Road 45 Bypass is very short for northbound cars about 5 pm. The light was yellow by just the third car and this is a busy intersection, especially during rush hour. Could the timing be adjusted? Thanks.
Residential street light out
I have contacted the city twice about a street light that is out frequently, and while I have gotten a quick response and a promise to contact Duke, nothing has been done to fix the problem. The light has been out on the following dates (and probably more, but we were out of town a few times during this period): October 19, 21, 22, 29; November 2, 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14. It is very dark on our street when this light is out, and I would appreciate some more active follow-through with Duke to get this fixed as soon as possible.
The alley behind our house does not have any lights in it at all. Not only does this make it a bit unnerving and dangerous to walk there at night, but it also makes it a very easy target for unwanted visitors. Last night, one of our bedroom windows was broken in and when we looked out back, we were not able to see anybody running away since there are no lights in the alley way. By adding a few lights to the already existing utility poles in the alley way, it would hopefully prevent similar incidents from happening in the future and make it much safer for all of the residents that use this alley on a daily basis.
The back of our house was broken into a couple of nights ago (all doors locked and while we were all home) and we feel as though if the back alley was more lit up it may have deterred the suspect from approaching our home. There was also a very similar situation of an attempted break in last week two houses down from ours. It is extremely dark in the alley, especially with the wooded area being back there - perfect for people to hide in. We would feel a lot safer if lights could be installed asap. Thank you.
Three lights are out on 45/46 where the bypass crosses kinser pike, n walnut, and fee. Could we get police out there to direct traffic when these things happen? It would really help moves things along.
