On September 29, the road project on 2nd Street near Rogers involved shutting down Rogers just north of 2nd Street. I live in that area, and in order to get to my home, I had to get out of my car twice to move blockages in the road. At the intersection of 3rd and Rogers, there was a barricade that I was able to drive by, but it was barely passable for my car and I had to almost drive up on the curb. Then at the intersection of Howe and 2nd, I had to get out of my car to move construction cones. There were cars going through the intersection and it was dark, so that was not a safe situation. Then when I tried to pull into my drive, there were construction barriers blocking it. I had to get out of my car again and ask a street worker to move it. He was very nice, though. The issue only took place that evening, but I wanted to report it since it was difficult and dangerous.

Westbound traffic on E Hillside congests at the S Walnut and E Hillside traffic light, which often causes backups and results in traffic blocking the E Hillside and S Washington intersection. Can there be a “do not block intersection” or one of the roadway painted Xs placed at that intersection? This has happened to me numerous times, and I get frustrated and honk, and E Hillside drivers either ignore me, or give me a mean look like this was my fault when they’re blocking the roadway.

Overnight Road Construction at 2nd and Rogers is extremely disruptive to neighbors. Large machinery (jackhammers, trucks with very loud backup signals, etc.) can be heard all hours of the night (most notably around 2:45 am this morning). When there has been construction near Hopewell in the past, the construction team saved "noisy" activities for daylight hours. For whatever reason, that has not been the case for the past week or so.

Yesterday (Thursday 25 Sept) at 5:15pm, a Ford Bronco turned *North* (left) onto Dunn from 10th Street (against the one-way direction), traveled north at a high rate of speed several blocks, and then pulled into the parking lot of 820 N. Dunn. During this illegal maneuver, another car that was traveling south on Dunn (the correct direction) had to pull over to avoid a collision. The driver might not have known he was committing a violation because that intersection is not clearly marked "Do Not Enter". Maybe a sign should be put up there to make sure that careful drivers know it is one-way.

Unprofessional demolition occurring. Dust and particles (asbestos?) flying everywhere. Once the City/County have given permission to demolish, is there an office that oversees the activity? Who checks for all the lead paint flakes that are released? The crew who did this looked Mennonite/Amish, but they might not be because they were using industrial equipment - and making a huge mess.

Fiber project cap missing and wire no longer buried. There's at least one other incident of visible wire a couple houses east in the ditch.

The N Walnut St area near N Fritz Dr where the two bump signs have been placed should be repaired as I try to avoid the offset of inches but, other drivers are not patient and feel they can pull on around vs tailgating. Thank you for reviewing lowering the speed if possible in this stretch with neighborhood roads and businesses.

After six weeks, Acuff Rd is still closed- according to the Board of Public Works minutes this was only approved for two weeks. While volumes are not heavy, this is adjacent to a hospital and near a school. Please provide an update on when this road will be opened

There is a full tree right in front of Arby’s east, along E 3rd Street. This tree blocks westbound traffic from view (from the driveway just to the west) until they are too close.

The intersection of N Jefferson St and E 5th St currently only has a two way stop. Drivers and pedestrians would highly benefit from making it a four way stop. Cars drive 40+ mph down N Jefferson St, which makes it dangerous when proceeding from E 5th St. It is hard to see if cars are coming, because of the street parking. Many pedestrians have to cross this street in order to get to campus. I believe in the last year there have been at least 3 accidents here.
