At switchyard dog park in the large dog area, there is a huge pool of muddy water. It looks like when they fixed the puddle the other month, it just moved the problem to a different spot and is now even worse. Where the pipe drains out, it has created a large pool of muddy water that dogs lay in, eat, and drink. This is a health hazard for the dogs, and they seem to be drawn to the mud because of the heat. I ask that this hole be filled, and that the pipe extends to a location that does not flood the dog park to avoid this issue from continuing to happen.

Yesterday morning, Wednesday August 20, at approximately 11:00 am, I was riding my bike southbound on the B-Line trail through Switchyard Park. In front of me on the trail was a riding lawn mower. As I pulled around to pass the mower on the left, the driver turned left without looking and knocked me off my bicycle. No one was injured, but the front wheel of my bike is wrecked. The incident occurred near light pole BL 29, which appears to have a security camera on it, in case it's helpful to review the camera footage. The operator of the mower is named Larry Norris, he works for Green Dragon Lawncare, under contract to perform maintenance services for the City. If it's possible to have my wheel replaced by their insurance, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

There is a drainage grate on the upper portion of Melville Circle where the asphalt is broken and worn away leaving a fairly large hole (approx. 18"x6" and 8"+ deep). it is definitely a hazard to those walking alongside the road. It would cause some serious injury to someone if they did not see it in the daytime or were walking at night. Please, if someone could come and look at it and fix the problem before someone gets hurt, that would be great.
Thanks for your consideration.

Sidewalk on high street just south of Woodstock has not been cleared of snow for over a week. It wasn’t clear from the first big snow and not from this weekend either. School kids will be walking in the street.

Trash can + recycling cans were delivered to 2105 S. Rogers St., which is an undeveloped grass lot, and 2101 1/2 S. Rogers St., which is an abandoned uninhabitable house.
Both are located on the private drive at the 2101 block of S. Rogers St bordered by the horse pasture to the south.
Sanitation employees will have to walk down the drive to the individual lots to retrieve the bins.
Traffic Related Complaints

Something needs to be done at the intersection of North Walnut and 45/46. Cars turning left from walnut onto 45/46 often make a U-turn into the path of cars turning right from 45/46 onto College. Those cars turning right on college have the green turn arrow. Three times now someone making a U-turn has almost ran into me as I am making a right-hand turn with green arrow. There needs to be a no U-turn sign or some other adjustment.

Both Mon. and Tues. (today) the wait to get through the light at E Moores Pike and High Street was extremely long. I travel west on Moores Pike/Hillside every weekday between 8:30am and 9:00am. Today the traffic was backed up all the way to the Moores Pike Roundabout. It \probably took at least 5 cycles of the stop light before I was through that intersection. Note: The last time I reported a similar situation at this stop light, it was a bad sensor. Thank you.

I'm sure that 90% of what you recieve are complaints. In this regard instead of complaining, I have an idea for a more efficient and less dangerous form of traffic onto 3rd street from S. Muller Parkway, heading West. People turn through the 3rd St. turning lane risking danger and a ticket and also any dangerous U-Turns in the middle of the Intersection of 3rd St. and S. Cory Lane.
I have to deal with this pressure when needing to turn west onto 3rd St. almost every day because I worked down 3rd St. west and I live off of S. Basswood Drive. One time I got pulled over by a sheriff for going through the 3rd St. turning lane and recieved a warning, luckily.
Now, the cross-section of 3rd St. and S. Muller Parkway only allows traffic to go From 3rd St. on to S. Muller Parkway. I know that is because the road to S. Muller Parkway crosses with the road to 3rd St. west which would obviously cause collisions. According to the Google earth map, the distance is 720 Ft. to the Intersection of 3rd and S. Cory Lane From S. Muller Parkway. I have a proposal to avoid crossing the turning lane and dangerous U-Turns in the intersection for heading west on 3rd St. (Also saves gas and driving distance of course.)
I created a plan in the diagram Image from the street map I aquired that I uploaded to show you for an example of the proposal. This Google map is very outdated, but it gives you a good prospective of the idea. All of this should work. There is enough space where the very wide curb(street gap) resides inbetween street directions for the proposed turn-offs, as there is for the turn-off heading west on 3rd St.
Turn-off Option 1 only 172 Ft. down 3rd St. East: Reduce 3rd St. West Turning lane by half and add a turning lane on 3rd St. East wilst dividing the width of each lane Equally. After reducing the curb size, a thinner middle curb remains dividing them still. The turning lane off of 3rd St. west is relatively long as you'll see. Longer than necessary for a small neighborhood road, so I figure option 1 is feasible.
Turn-off Option 2 Only 265 Ft.(maybe give or take 30 Ft.) down 3rd St. East connecting to the Gas Station. People can choose to turn into the gas station and out or make a u-turn.
Thank you very much,
Eliot
P.S. It was fun putting this together to present to you.
Oh btw, as a side note, it would be great if you expanded the Report Details Description dialog boxes in the form scripts, because I can't see what I write. Instead I wrote everything out in notepad, copied and pasted.
