Heading West on 46 the first stoplight the green light is out.
The street light has been out for weeks. I reported it but nothing has happened. It is dangerous to walk past there at night since visibility is low. I tried to report this directly to Duke Energy but their website won't accept it.
There is trash, cans, and broken glass all over the yard and in the street
Stoplight broken
This is the former site of House Bar on west side of 12th and Walnut. Very recent graffiti
When it rains, there is no drainage at this spot. All along the north side of 2nd from College to Rogers there are multiple areas of flooding on the street through this corridor.
Bicycling on Howe, I was struck by the fact that both storm sewer grates appear to be obstructed by yard waste, which will become an issue when we get our spring rains before the thaw. I suspect that this is not an isolated experience.
The new construction has contributed significant debris to the east-bound bike lane. This occurs with many of our development projects: when the apartments on N. College just north of the railway overpass were being constructed, the muddy (erosive) runoff and rocks were obliterating the bike lane. And during the recent downtown construction of ONB, the bike lane was full of rocks and crud. The debris remains on the north side of 4th, between Lincoln and Grant, at the alleyway cut.
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.
Walking west on the south side of Dodds, I was struck by the Utility pole in the middle of the side walk as I approached the street ramp. This is clearly an obstruction and is not compatible with our policies of making sidewalks disability-friendly. While a blind individual might be able to manage this obstruction, a wheel-chair would be seriously impaired.
