Is the alley to the east of Eagleson that runs parallel and in between third and Atwater a public walkway? It appears that whoever was clearing E. State Court pushed snow onto the walkway, leaving only two or 3 inches between a very tall pile of snow and some sort of drainage ditch. It makes that area extremely hazardous to walk in.
Snow plow dumps 3 foot high pile across this sidewalk b/n E. State Ct. and Eagleson Ave. making pedestrian passage impossible. This happens every snow for years now. Was told at nearby dental office with plowed parking that city snow plow is doing this. The plower may not understand this snow dump is blocking a sidewalk that is used by many people.
On both corners of the T intersection of Hillside Drive and South Valley Forge Road, visibility is extremely poor and it is dangerous to try and pull off of valley forge onto Hillside going either east or west. If you are heading south on Valley forge and want to go east on Hillside, the bushes / brush / and trees block the view looking to your left; you have to pull out into the lane of travel to see left. The visibility looking right isn't much better but less of a concern because you aren't passing over an oncoming lane of travel.
Snow and Ice on west side of Convenator and College Mall. West bound Convenator lane is totally blocked with snow. If the East bound left turn lane is occupied, you are unable to turn right from College Mall to Convenator. This is very hazardous.
Overgrown weeds and grass.
Big pothile
Traffic Stop Sign; the stop sign at the intersection of Adams and Allen St. is so hidden that people frequently plow through it. I suggest there be a sign put up that alerts drivers before the stop sign, as I have almost been in several car accidents as a result of people failing to stop at this sign (if you are heading West going toward the stop sign, it is that stop sign). It comes up really quickly on a hill and it hidden behind trees and it difficult to see (especially if you are driving too fast, which unfortunately many people in this city do).
The homeowners have let their dog out to roam freely on a regular basis. The dog sits and barks outside of their door to be let in from about 9:30-11pm. This has happened for the last week at least. The dog wears a glowing vest but still roams into our yard and has come up to our door several times. When we have gone outside to shoo it away, it barks at us.
During a major storm over the summer, a large trunk of a maple tree growing immediately along 12th Street (city property according to GIS) fell into the road. Duke cleared the tree from the road and reestablished power, but left the waste to sit at the curb. I contacted Duke but they refused to finish cleaning it up. Would appreciate if the city could help with this.
