Several potholes in the northbound lane of High, in the block north of Greenbriar.
Serious erosion of retaining wall supports of multi-use path at south east corner of intersection. The retaining wall erected to support the new-ish multi-use path shows significant signs of erosion, as the gravel piled on the path-side of the blocks used to traverse the creek/ditch under the path has washed away in multiple places, and the drainage holes in the large concrete blocks are now exposed. During the huge deluge in 2020, the block's in this area literally shifted. I suspect that another big deluge could shift them further, and collapse parts of the path. I have several images if you need them.
Good evening. The very dead possum was moved from the middle of High Street to the side of the road where it remained until it was somewhat eaten by about 5 buzzards. It is now on the partly on the sidewalk. PLEASE get this picked up. Many elementary school children are walking by this and it is quite disturbing. Thank you!
Near miss. During the morning, walk to school, kids were crossing high Street around 8:35 AM, there’s a crossing guard there who triggered the crosswalk lights, and stood in the middle of the road with his stop sign, but a car approaching from the north did not stop, and drove through the crosswalk around 25 to 30 mph. Talking with the cross guard, this happens quite often, because it is at the bottom of a hill with limited visibility. I highly recommend putting a stop sign at that intersection similar to everywhere else on high Street.
There is a stand of invasive Velvet Leaf that has doubled in size over the summer. I think it is in a city easement just south of Greenbrier on the west side of High St. I don't know if you can do anything about it but I thought I would report it.
In November I had reported an issue with the traffic signal at Hillside/High St. (Case #199372). It was closed as resolved, but the issue has never been corrected. There is an issue with the sequencing of the light phasing. The cars heading south High St. always receive a left turn signal, regardless if there is a car sitting in the turn lane. The north/south bound lanes already receive a significantly less phase time (understandably so given the traffic on Hillside), but this creates an even shorter phase for cars going north on High St., especially with the no turn on reds posted at this intersection. Can the phasing of this light be addressed so that the southbound traffic doesn't receive a left turn signal unless there is a car in the turn lane?
utility pipe or something sharp sticking up above the asphalt
Traffic signal hasn't been working properly for many months. Loop sensor for southbound S. High Street left turn arrow for left turn onto E. Moores Pike doesn't work so the signal cycles every few minutes to that left turn arrow regardless of whether or not there are any cars waiting. This then causes needless hold up of cars heading north on High Street and all traffic on Hillside/Moores Pike.
