THANK YOU for keeping the path clear of leaves this fall. It has enhanced our walk each day. We also appreciate the two new "bridges" across the path where water used to stand. Very nice. I'm wondering if the southern most "bridge" will get a railing of some kind. It seems a little precarious for walkers who might lose their balance. Thanks for considering this safety feature.
Several areas of this trail are overgrown making it difficult to walk let alone bike.
The homeless have again made a large mess along the creek near Patterson. Much of it can be seen from Patterson near the creek and bridge. There are derelict tents, food trash, needles, mattresses,
Fallen tree limb on the Rogers Rd multiuse path.
The people who drive cars in this town are typically rude and dismissive of common decency. They constantly speed, even on residential streets; they drive on sidewalks and bike lanes even when there are people present; they drive at night without lights on; they drive drunk; they *often* drive the wrong way on one-way streets; and if you make a comment to them about hazards they are creating they curse and/or gesture obscenely. Please please please ban them from the city. There was an accident recently where a driver hit a cyclist and drove away: https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/local/2023/07/18/police-seek-hit-and-run-driver-of-ford-150-that-struck-bicyclist/70422419007/. Does the City really want to be known as a place that encourages people to risk their lives when they walk or bicycle, and turn a blind eye when people are injured or killed? How many more accidents is it going to take for you to wake up and ban cars from our streets? Thank you.
Do private contractors have an obligation to clean up the street? This house on Southdowns (between Manor and Hawthorne) was paved and the street is a mess. It is not just stained, there is a lot of loose debris on the road from the paving process that could be cleaned up. Can the City contact the homeowner to find out who needs to get back out here to clean the street up and make their job site presentable? Thanks.
I would like to suggest new street lights. There is a school cross walk at Templeton School on Henderson Street between Hillside and Grimes. There are families that use this cross walk in the morning prior to sunrise. A street light there would be very helpful. I also believe street lights at all school bus stops would be beneficial to students waiting for the bus in the dark. Thank you.
The drive/alleyway to the left of my residence is unlit and pitch black at night. It is dangerous to walk to and from my car or trash bins at night. I spoke with my landlord and he said that it is city property. I would like some kind of streetlight or floodlight installed.
