In 2019/2020, the Rogers Multiuse Path Project removed a large area of mature evergreen trees and shrubs. Before the project began, the city convened a public meeting at Sherwood Oaks church, where this project was presented. Neighborhood residents were under the impression (from what was stated at the meeting) that despite the construction and removal of mature trees and shrubs there was a plan to replace the mature trees and provide appropriate barriers to shield adjacent residences from Rogers Rd. Given that one of the adjacent neighborhoods is named “The Woodlands” it is ironic that the large swath of mature trees and shrubs was removed by the city. In 2020, the neighborhood inquired about the promised tree replacement plan and advocated in support of the tree replacement plan via email exchanges with a city employee. This link to Google Street view shows some of the mature trees, shrubs, and vegetation that existed before removal. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rogers+Rd+%26+Winding+Brook+Circle/@39.1360284,-86.5043552,3a,75y,11.81h,104.02t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sM5SSfiHav1RemgRHxy-NNQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D-14.024763466822193%26panoid%3DM5SSfiHav1RemgRHxy-NNQ%26yaw%3D11.809023229470313!7i16384!8i8192!4m7!3m6!1s0x886c66797856700f:0x281f08677540884f!4b1!8m2!3d39.136063!4d-86.504227!16s%2Fg%2F1ymsmq0qb?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDQyMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D The neighbors request that you please consider restoration of trees, shrubs, and vegetation.

In 2020/2021 a multi-use path was installed directly behind the Woodlands condos, which included a raised cement median/crosswalk. This raised median has caused multiple problems since construction. Various vehicles frequently strike the raised median while attempting to navigate the area. In addition, the turns into and out of The Woodlands and The Stands are challenging due to the construction of the raised median. From my perception, this raised median has made the area more dangerous for pedestrians, vehicles, and cyclists. It was my understanding that the original intent by the city was to make the area safer, not more treacherous. Furthermore, the bus stop was relocated and is now closer to my home than it was before, which again causes more dust and noise pollution inside my home and the surrounding area. Clearly, an all-way stop is needed to provide predictable safety for all roadway users. Please note that neighbors have been in favor of traffic control at the intersection of Rogers Rd, Winding Brook and The Stands. In the last several years, neighbors have noticed the intersection has become less safe. I recently checked the Crash Data Dashboard and found the map to be very hard to read. I would appreciate a detailed and up to date report of the number and type of crashes reported at this intersection. Lastly, I am aware that currently, the construction that’s underway will be completed eventually, and the traffic pattern that I am referring to in this report will resume.

A beighbor tells me that these buttons are on-demand lighting for Bryan Park's tennis courts. When will they be labeled (and maybe finished to look permanent)?

Debris Removal (Sand, General Street Debris)

Case Date:
9/6/2025

I thought I sent a U-Report. When I have done this in the past, I then usually receive an email acknowledging it was received and a case number. Last evening and again today have not received one. I have been a city volunteer first serving on the Environmental Commission for five years and Since stepping down ince then with the Park Department, Utility Department and with MC-IRIS on environmental issues. Flood control and preventing waste contaminating is still part of my present volunteering. As part of these efforts, I remove litter and street debris from storm drains in my neighborhood and City Parks. I have been collecting broken pavement and plastic waste. The plastic waste I either dispose of in either my residential trash or a park trash barrel. The pavement I seperate and store until I submit a U-request for a sanatation crew to pick up at my the edge our driveway. That was the nature of my recent U-report attempt. I have placed a strong plastic bag of broken pavement on the bottom west side edge of my driveway for a pick up. My address is 2305 S. Sussex Dr. Don Eggert

The screening of the movie Wicked as a sing a long is great! But only the songs are captioned. Wouldn’t it be great to make the screening inclusive and caption *all* the dialogue?

There has been a gray Pontiac Vibe parked on the north side of Maxwell Lane for approximately 2 weeks. It’s located at 1521 E. Maxwell Lane. My neighbor, Raglind Binkley, lives at 1520 E. Maxwell Lane. (She asked me to submit this report due to personal matters). Her words via a text to me: “Depending on which direction I turn..yesterday I almost hit the door.” Raglind’s driveway is directly across the street from this parked car. I (Diane)did not notice any No Parking signs on this segment of Maxwell Lane, so it may be entirely legal for this car to be parked there (?), but continuously without it being moved is the concern. Thanks.

Blocked Sidewalk

Case Date:

600 E. First St. has a parking area off Henderson St. that fits two cars without encroaching on sidewalk. Current tenants are parking three cars, which results in sidewalk obstruction because they don't angle in enough. See photo. Please work with landlord to prevent this busy commuter sidewalk right of way from pinching down to just two or three feet.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

Case Date:

I had sent in a request on 5/19/25 Case #202787 reporting that Olive Street needs a concrete curb installed. Due to the excessive rainfall this has caused flooding issues for 1502 S. Olive and the house on the corner of Hillside and Olive (1144 E. Hillside Dr.). I was informed that this was on the paving list and there was plans for an asphalt curb. I called on 6/9/25 and spoke to the Engineering dept. (Iris) about installing a concrete curb instead of asphalt. There is already a partial concrete curb that runs past 1502. It needs to have a concrete curb all the way up the hill so that rain will not flood into the driveway and along the house of 1502, plus it runs past the curb into the yard of 1144 E. Hillside causing flooding in the basement. They have a sump pump now, but it's old and could quit at any time. It's already August and there hasn't been any kind of activity on this street. Do you have an estimated date as to when the street will be paved and the curb installed? Also, there is a construction sign in the yard of 1144 E. Hillside that has been there all summer and would like it to be moved. Thank you for any information you can provide!
