A street light is needed at this intersection for pedestrian safety.
The streets and sidewalks are very dark when the sun goes down. I am requesting street lamps are put in place to protect those walking home from campus or the bars. As the sun sets earlier, many students are leaving class or the library after dark. I also almost hit someone driving home who was crossing the street simply because I could not see them. I believe rates of reported instances would decrease simply due to being aware of our surrounding (people).
I would like to request that this street light be fully shielded, so that the light is redirected toward the ground. It shines brightly outward, into my windows across the street (particularly during seasons when the tree doesn't have leaves), which disturbs my sleep. I have tried room-darkening curtains; however my sleep health is better when I wake to the sun. Thank you for your consideration.
There are no street lights on South Clarizz Blvd, particularly in the area south of Buick Cadillac Rd. It feels very unsafe, there are multiple bus stops and traffic at all hours. It is hard to see pedestrians and as a pedestrian it is hard to see anything when it is dark out (ie. tripping hazards, etc.). Street lights need to be installed in this area, it is extremely dark when the sun is not out.
In response to uReport case #178550, if the property owner has had to repeatedly paint over graffiti, then perhaps the built environment could be examined to see if any improvements could be made that would benefit the property owner as well as residents. A walk down that street at night reveals pitch black darkness. There is a light at the T intersection of Fairview and 11th, but the illumination does not reach around the bend in Fairview. The property has a light in their lot which actually causes the sidewalk on Fairview to be even darker in contrast. It has never felt safe as a pedestrian or cyclist but that can be remedied by personal use of lights. However, having the street illuminated could help to make it less hospitable for delinquent behavior as well as the wonderful bonus of increased safety for non-motorist travelers. Lastly, vehicles regularly speed down the decline on 11th, fail to stop at the stop sign, and continue around the bend on Fairview. I would think that increased illumination would be helpful to those motorists who are already driving recklessly. Thank you.
Hello, I'm a second-year tenant of a house on S Woodlawn Ave. The walk home at night is very dangerous because there are no street lights once you get south of Atwater Ave. As a larger man, I luckily do not have to worry as much as about being abducted by any predators. However, I still worry about getting struck by a car because of the lack of visibility on the streets and sidewalks. We have guests that are women that fear coming to our house at night because of how dark the street gets and they could easily be abducted in the dark. My roommates and I often find ourselves having to walk guests to Atwater for them to feel safe. It is a public safety issue and I'm requesting that street lights are installed on Woodlawn Ave for a minimum of 5 blocks south of Atwater. Woodlawn is a highly trafficked area not only by cars, but pedestrians too. I'm a policy analysis major and would love to be involved in any research or implementation needed to solve this issue. Please reach out with any decision made! Thank you.
The old street lights are in need of maintainance. One is taken down after it was hit by a car several years ago. They all need to be painted. Some look rusty. What is the plan for the beautiful old street lights? Between Atwater Ave and E 2nd St.
Street light on the NW corner of Woodlawn & Hunter is out. There are no other street lights on Woodlawn between Atwater & 2nd St even thought its sidewalks are heavily used by women leaving the campus in the dark to walk to the free parking lot east of Bryan Park. The dark sidewalk on the west side seems especially unsafe in the dark due to the large shrubbery that grows next to that sidewalk at several locations.
The number of broken streetlights along Rogers and Kinser Pike is absolutely unreal. I counted at least ten between 2nd and Upper Cascades. Please also fix the two broken lights at 4th/Gentry and 4th/College.
