Inner southbound lane as one approaches the lighted intersection with Grimes/Paterson Drive - four car lengths back from intersection and eight car lengths back ("lot for sale" sign to the right) are potholes that are increasingly deep and widening.
Sidewalks are not cleared in front of the pet store and JCB State Bank. High School students were forced to walk in the street, in the dark, to get to school. S Walnut is a very busy street with fast drivers and I am concerned for the safety for the children.
I am a driver for MCCSC. I currently drive route #114. I drive every school day through and past the intersection Walnut Pike and Fairfax Road. I have always noticed an extremely hazardous drainage embankment on the west side of Walnut Pike at this intersection. I have often thought how careful I must be so my bus does not come too close to this embankment for fear of the bus falling on its side especially under icy or slippery conditions. With or without students this would be a disaster. Yesterday, October 15, I actually witnessed an accident of one car falling into this drainage embankment and flipping on its side which prompted me to write in. I am the driver who radioed the accident into MCCSC transportation base immediately after it occurred. Please adjust this severe ditch so no more accidents occur.
Street lights are out for several blocks and have been since at least the beginning of September. The entire street is pitch black at night and I feel unsafe walking home.
Street lights are out on E Third St and S Washington St, E Smith Ave and S Washington, and E Second St and S Washington St. Every street lamp on S Washington has been out since at least the beginning of September. The entire street is pitch black at night and it creates a very unsafe environment for when I and other residents on or around S Washington walk home.
People dropping and receiving drugs in mail boxes of the apartments in Goldcasters building.
There's a 3 way stop at this intersection. The cars coming off Runkle way toward S Welmir can't see clearly toward the oncoming cars off of 3rd street (the cars that don't stop) because of the bushes planted on the little divider. Almost got hit the other day creeping out so I could see!
At the bus stop on W 3rd St and S Westplex Ave there are homeless individuals who camp out at the bus stops; they have mattresses, trash, and needles around them. This situation makes it unsafe for other individuals trying to ride the bus as well as causing a disturbance to the neighboring businesses. I've contact the transportation department and filed a uReport but nothing changed.

People living in cars that are in front on Wheeler Mission. Can’t walk on sidewalk. People sleeping and camping there.
