229 W 1st St. Brownfields building along the B-line trail. Structure open to unlawful entry at two doorways and 2 windows. Used as a "shooting gallery" for intravenous drug use. 10 uncapped syringes collected from this building 8-21-19 by MC Health Dept. Interior littered with trash and feces. This is an attractive nuisance and a hazard to the public. Children witnessed exploring the interior subject to accidental needle sticks.
This was reported to me by a citizen: The little steps on the B-line near 1st & Morton. The tops of some of the steps are loose and wobbly.
At the intersection of 3rd and Jordan, there are far too frequent instances of southbound cars on Jordan reaching the intersection and turning or attempting to turn left (east) only to realize - or not! - that 3rd St. is one-way going west at that point. There is one "ONE-WAY" sign on the southeast corner of the intersection but it does not prevent this issue. Can an additional "No Left Turn" sign please be added near the stoplight so drivers will see it when they look at the light?
This the foot bridge over the stream at the North end of the clear creek trail. This is on the east end of the bridge. The piece of metal my kid is pointing at should be over the big crack at her feet.
During rain, particularly strong ones, we get a lot of run off coming down to the backyard of my home. We live on South Sweetbriar Court in Winslow Farms, but the runoff seems to be coming from Graham Drive. Graham Drive runs into South Henderson
The Clear Creek Trail is under attack by the local flora! Yes, that's right - the vegetation is taking over. The entire route of the trail, from Tapp Road to Church Lane, needs to be seriously trimmed back. The trees and brush are overtaking the trail. There are hazards from both a vertical and horizontal line of attack. In places the trail is narrowed by the overgrowth crowding out the trail. In other places, there are branches hanging down low that can take a rider off a bike. The entire length of the trail needs some trim work to cut back the overgrowth and low hanging branches and restore the trail to its full width. The trail would be much safer with this work completed.
52. That's how many vertical and/or horizontal obstructions I counted on the Clear Creek Trail from the Tapp Road trailhead to the Church Lane bridge. 52 points where tree limbs or overgrown bushes are in the way. Cyclists have to duck. Pedestrians have to weave. It's dangerous and makes sharing the trail tough. 52. Maybe you count differently. Even if it's half or a quarter, that's still 26 or 13 hazards. That's dangerous. This trail needs cleaned up to allow unfettered access and enjoyment.
S Cory lane, large hole right before shady acres going south .
On the corner of Chelsey Court and Queen's Way, a drain on the street is eroding away. A hole is forming and it's a few feet deep. The edges of the hole are weak and it will likely become a far larger hole in the near future. The curb is also cracking and entire drain may be sinking.
