Sidewalk on the north side of the road is almost grown over by the hedges and bushes
Overgrown weeds obstructing sidewalk
Sidewalk in between 608 and 616 S Eagleson is littered with trash and partially obstructed by overgrown weeds.
There is a tent setup on the curb doing some sort of commerce and the customers and staff are taking over the sidewalk, blocking pedestrian paths.
South side of 3rd St, between Woodscrest and Overhill, there's a construction sign and posts laying down across the sidewalk and completely blocking it. Thank you!
I was struck that there are pedestrian ramps on the south side of W. 3rd St. This indicates to me, as a pedestrian, that there is an intention for me to be able to cross Patterson Blvd. Having done this on multiple occasions, I take my life in my hands: there is a right-hand turning lane on Patterson at 3rd. Many vehicles turn right onto Patterson while traveling east on 3rd, and don't anticipate a pedestrian. There is no crosswalk at this location, which will be imperative with the new retail development just west of this intersection. While I doubt that there are many pedestrians crossing here, you may as well anticipate a crossing signal, which would be a kindness.
Have reported this before, never got an answer. I was told it was something to do with the city and guard rail study. The trail at this location is below the grade of the road on Moores Pike. I requested evaluation for a guard rail to protect walkers from a car leaving the road and rolling over the hill. This is a high speed road and it is very unnerving to walk along this trail. Send someone out and stand there to see what I mean.
The new bump outs on East Allen are incomplete and insufficient. Cars are zooming by kids walking and on bicycles. There needs to be brightly colored curb in addition to the tall reflective posts that were there before. Fix this quick before a kid gets hit!
The sidewalk closed signs have been removed from the new pathway on High Street, yet the new driveways that were poured are several inches higher than the pathway. This is a significant hazard for pedestrians, and bikers.
