Street light out at the corner of East 2nd Street & South Woodscrest Dr.
Street light out at the corner of East 2nd Street & South Woodscrest Dr.
The first streetlight on the north side of Jonathan Drive as you drive east from Curry Pikeis out.
I'm writing about the lighting situation on N Rosewood. Along this road, the street lights are sparse, and the distance between the street lights sometimes covers two blocks. The light seems to be dimmer, not sure if this is due to the tree branches blocking the lights or the lights are failing. Considering a decent amount of traffic on this road (due to the high school and a corporate building nearby), it is both inconvenient and sometimes unsafe for residents (especially kids) to walk in that area after sunset (when it's almost pitch dark). Would it be possible to install a few more lights in between the existing ones, or check existing lights to increase brightness.
Street light out at University st and Swain ave.
We own a business at 14th and Walnut and often see horrible accidents at the corner of 14th and Walnut. We also see DAILY CLOSE CALLS with both pedestrians, cars/trucks and now certainly scooters! There are no stoplights between 17th and (I believe) 10th street. Coming down the hill from 10th street cars/trucks often RACE down the road right in front of us. Having a stoplight at the intersection I feel would reduce the number of speeding vehicles headed towards 17th street. Just this morning I saw someone walking across the street as two cars were speeding down Walnut. I don't know if one of them was distracted or not, but the person crossing the road nearly was hit and I am sure would have been killed. Thank you for looking into this.
Something changed with the timing of the 10th and Union light a few weeks ago, resulting in huge backups of eastbound traffic on 10th St during evening commute hours. Light seems to cycle green for 20 secs for 10th St, but 30 secs for less-traveled Union St. Because of lack of left-turn lane on EB 10th at Union, often only 2-3 eastbound cars get through on each cycle, resulting in backups all the way past Sunrise to Jordan Ave. Is this timing correct, or is there a problem?
While there are multiple street lights in this area, none of them are turned on before sunrise, which is later and later every day now. When I walk to the bus stop every morning (around 7:15 am), the street is so dark I can barley see my own feet, and if not for a nearby back porch light the 6 bus stop (at Kinser Pike and the Arch) would be pitch black. Can't wait to see this fixed! Thanks so much!
Street light out at pedestrian pathway to North High School requiring students to walk down scary path in dark.
Light still not working at 190 E Cottage Grove Ave
The street light across from our home (720 E. Eddington Ct) only works intermittently. Can you please check it out. Thank you.
