I would like to bring to your attention the poor walkability of Rockport Rd between W Pinehurst Dr and Graham. This 200 yards' block is the "missing link" between the Southern Pines neighborhood (which has a decent sidewalk network) and the Country View apartment complex, which has the closest city bus stop. On this block of Rockport Rd, if one is to walk north from W Pinehurst Dr along the west side of Rockport, the sidewalk simply ends in a fence (pictured in the photo attached). I pass there often, and I've seen pedestrians use the road shoulder, which is quite dangerous, what with the narrow street, heavy traffic, and limited visibility (hills). On the east side of Rockport Rd, there is sidewalk part of the way, but it is not continuous either; besides, crossing the road twice may be dangerous, especially for older people and children, considering what the traffic and visibility in Rocport Rd is like. I think it would be highly useful for many residents (and for people who have to drive through there) if some kind of improvement project were undertaken. One ought to either build a sidewalk along the west side of the road, or to complete the sidewalk along the east side and create marked pedestrian crossings at W. Graham and W. Pinehurst (or W. Ralston).

I'm a resident at S Southern Pines Ct. I and serveral of my neighoubrs rely on city bus #2 to go to work, and the only bus stop within walking distance is located at Country View Apts. However, there's no convenient way to get to the bus stop from Southern Pines, because there's no side walk on Rockport Rd between Country View Apts and Tapp Road. The road in this section is very narrow, and there's no shoulder next to the lane either. People would have to walk through bushes right next to the road. Plus, Rockport is becoming a rather busy road, with many cars constantly rushing by at a rather fast speed. With the limited visibility due to the the big slopes in this hilly section, it is extremely dangerous for pedestrians even during the day time, not to mention after dark. I strongly request the city to put an effort in completing the missing sidewalk on Rockport between Country View Apts and Tapp Road, since a lot of people's safety relies on this. Thank you.

The street sidewalk bordering the tennis courts in Southeast Park becomes miry after it rains, forcing us to detour to avoid very muddy feet and paws when we walk our dogs. The sidewalk appears to have sunk. It needs to be cleaned and some sort of barrier installed to check the erosion that is responsible for covering the walk, perhaps just a wooden barrier. If someone could look into rectifying this, it would be much appreciated.

Section of sidewalk has risen 4-5 inches causing a hazard to the neigborhood kid on their bikes- they hit it and it causes an accident. I have seen other spots where the high side has been shaved off to be level? Very easy to spot, between my house 3824 and the neighbors, 3820.

Please fix the cracking and loose sidewalk. The residents have started pouring their own mortar since it's dangerous.

Good afternoon, I am writing to report an issue with water drainage coming from the roofs of houses and dumping on to the sidewalk. Along N. Indiana Ave, many houses/apartments (owned by Elkins Apartments) have drainage downspouts that empty directly on to the sidewalk. This creates a hazard with constant freeze and thew during the winter months. I have personally felt unsafe walking down a sloped sidewalk, on what is pure ice during periods this winter. Indiana Ave. is a very high foot traffic area during winter months as fans walk to and from basketball games. From witnessing several people slip and fall on the ice, I feel like it is my duty as a citizen to report this issue to the city. Though we have been blessed this season with relatively mild temperatures, this does not overshadow the safety hazard created from the downspouts off many of these houses. This problem would ideally need to be handled quickly before the next cold spell of weather. Thank you. Best regards
