Front porch light is in a clear fixture and on 24 hours a day now that the tenants have moved out.
Front porch light is in a clear fixture and on 24 hours a day now that the tenants have moved out.
The light at West Tapp Road and South Deborah Drive consistently changes to red for the cars on Tapp and remains red for an extended period of time, even when there are no pedestrians or cars coming from Deborah. This happens often enough to where over 50% of my drives have an extended period of waiting at this light, leading to increased fuel consumption, brake wear, and frustration.
Porch light is bright, piercing bulb that casts shadows through the windows of neighboring properties. Tenants (who change most years) tend to leave it on for days/weeks at a time. The fixture is unshielded glass and the bulb sits below that fixture anyway.
Extremely bright light with exposed and unguarded element left on 24/7. Illuminates rooms in neighboring homes at night.
The light cycle seems to have changed from sensing to timed and there isn't as much traffic going out of Deborah Drive to need that length of a light cycle. Also the two lane heading east on Tapp to serve as a flow for people turning into the offices down in Deborah Drive is being more heavily abused to serve as a fast pass of the line of traffic and risky merging than it was previously before the light cycle changed.
Except for maybe two (entrance and leasing office), all of the street lights in Oakdale Square Apartments have been non-functional since April. This is a violation of Unified Development Ordinance, Section 21.301.07. Failure to maintain street lighting poses a safety risk to residents and pedestrian and increases the risk of property crimes.
The stoplight on Walnut at the intersection of South Drive is red for 41 seconds… There are never any cars on South Drive… There's absolutely no reason for this light to be red for that long
The light cycle that lets outlet traffic from Deborah Drive appears to take longer and is timed. This change is not necessary as there is not enough traffic compared to Tapp Road to justify that length of a light cycle. Also if the city should ever consider it that merge lane when heading east on Tapp road should either become a two lane all down Tapp to accommodate for traffic flow to pass around left turners into The Mill OR be gone entirely. It just permits risky drivers to go into the right lane at this intersection knowing full well there is a line of cars waiting at the light cycle and that the lane merge is right after the light and they choose to "race" traffic and cut in when it is unnecessary. Even if one would argue a zipper merge there are times when it is necessary and in a populated neighborhood area it is not.
