Once again this morning, northbound Patterson traffic light was not cycling green at West 2nd. This happens whenever there is a car-length space in between the first and second vehicles stopped at the light. The traffic signals cycled three times without a green light before the second car finally pulled forward and triggered the light to turn green. When will this be fixed?
Trash in street
Poor/horrible visibility at the intersection of 4th and Jackson streets. If you are traveling on Jackson and needing to turn on 4th or cross 4th - you have to pull 1/2 way into the road to see around parked cars. I've witnessed several near accidents. Recommending a 4 way stop at this intersection.
Trash in alley south of 601 and to the east of 601.
Patterson traffic lights at West 2nd have never been green long enough. This causes traffic to back up on Patterson and people running the red light to get through the intersection. Patterson needs another 5 seconds of green for the left turn arrows and 5 more seconds green to cross 2nd Street. This would allow another 3-5 cars through the intersection each cycle. Most of the time there's no traffic on 2nd Street while the Patterson lights are red.
Rogers Street side of the old hospital: Unsafe walking conditions on sidewalk due to lack of snow and ice removal
Vegetation overgrowth and fallen limbs block sidewalk. North side of 9th between Fairview and Jackson. Also east side of Jackson between 9th and 8th.
Traffic light at S Patterson and West 2nd continues to malfunction. Northbound traffic was backed up to Allen this morning. The problem is the sensor (camera?) is not picking up cars in the right lane on northbound Patterson so it is not cycling green, until someone pulls into the left turn lane. It cycled four times this morning at 7:30am before turning green for the long line of cars that were backed up. It only went green when the second car in line gave up and pulled into the left turn lane. This is the second time in two weeks I've reported this problem.
Stormwater grates on either side of Winslow Farm Drive near the intersection with Winslow Road were covered and fastened with sisal-like mats at the beginning of work on the Winslow Rd. section of the pedestrian/biker pathway in mid-spring. As a result, that part of Winslow Road has flooded with every heavy rain, and the grates are now heavily clogged. Early on, I contacted the Street Department about this, but was told that the City had nothing to do with the project, which was slated to finish in October (!) Now it is October, and the pathway crews have finished and cleaned up. But still no one has removed those sisal covers on the two stormwater grates. I'm not sure what department should handle this, but I'd really like to see the problem resolved. Why the grates have had to be covered all these months is a mystery to me.
There has been End Contruction signs at the entrance to Winslow Farms for a year. The project was completed last year. I wrote earlier this year and nothing was done. There are no construction signs on E Winslow Road. Can you get the ugly signs out of our neighborhood please.
