Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
Sims Lane and Leonard Springs Road
- Case Date:
- 7/8/2025
Received from a Resident in Van Buren Township.
I live off Sims lane and have a question?
When you try to get out onto Leonard Springs off of Sims there are a bunch of weeds / shrubbery/ trees that totally block the view to the South. So you have to inch out and hope to not get hit in the meantime. And with the way people fly over that hill south of Sims, it can be dangerous.
So my question is how can we get those trimmed? It is practically on the road, so not sure if it’s the county or homeowner?
I don’t want to cause any problems but also don’t want there to be an accident there. Sims lane traffic plus the Heatherwood traffic makes for a busy intersection. I’ve lived there for 30yrs and this is the worst I’ve seen those weeds / shrubs, whatever it is.
Any help would be appreciated!

Sidewalk on N. Smith Rd for Shamrock Pointe Apartments has not been shoveled since first snow storm of this year, nor was it ever salted, forcing me as a disabled man to walk in streets.

People are blowing through this 4 way stop from all directions! This has always been an issue, but even more so from where the road has been closed for so long. There are many residents and pedestrians that cross here which makes it a very unsafe situation. Rumble strips or a temporary flashing stop sign might remind people that they need to stop here!

A collapsed metal drainage culvert is a risk of injury to people and animals walking on the north side of E Morningside near N Smith Road. A 7 inch wide hole in the pavement above the east end of the 60 year old metal culvert is becoming larger. A similar culvert collapse near the west end of this culvert was partially repaired in recent years. Best practice may be to replace the decayed metal with plastic or other durable material.

Extremely high weeds where the Railroad property meets Smith Road on both sides of the underpass and both sides of the street, I would assume this is railroad responsibility.

This intersection is a fatality waiting to happen. I just watched an inattentive driver blow straight through the stop sign coming south on Covenanter. If the driver already stopped on Cadillac hadn’t been paying attention when they had the right of way, they would have been t boned by an suv traveling over 35mph. The intersection is too large and really should be a roundabout
