I regret to report that the recent pothole patching has not improved the situation on Greenwood Avenue. Since we are just a one block dead end street, we have several children who play out on the street. A quick poll showed two skinned knees and one hand that were the result of three falls from the now raised areas of the road. We went from indentations to uneven bumps. Is there any chance we could be put into the mix for a future resurfacing of the street?

Hi. On Saturday, my 3-year-old child tripped and fell over a new patch in the street outside our house on Greenwood Avenue. Apparently, some of my neighbors wrote to you last week to report the bad condition of the street. On Thursday/Friday(?), several large potholes were filled in, but it seems to be fast emergengy patching. Some of the patches are now bumps instead of holes, with loose tarmac around the patch. First, I WOULD like to say thank you for acting on this so quickly. But I do have two questions: (i) Is the street scheduled for proper repair in the near future? and (ii) Is the sidepath at the end of the street, between Greenwood and Southdowns, also scheduled for improvement? My interest in this issue is not only as a resident. I am a member of the Rogers/Binford Safe Routes to School Committee, and I am concerned about upkeep for the children who use this as the main pedestrian route to school from the SoMax neighborhood. Thanks in advance for your response.

There are now two left turn lanes at the traffic light that directs you to 37 North on second street. Numerous vehicles are going through the middle lane which is a left turn lane also. Traffic trying to move over to the left lane after being in the far right lane is having a difficult time as they do not know if the vehicle next to them is going to turn left as they should or just go through the lane. I live at Basswood Apartments and find it bothersome when the vehicle goes through the light and I am trying to get over in the left lane to go home. I didn't know how this could be remedied as the two signs by the two traffic light say "left turn only" and have arrows. Some vehicles slow down and just go through it when it is red to turn left and green for the right lane to go. There is going to be an accident.

My wife and I just moved into a new house at 411 E Wilson St, between Palmer and Dunn. We need street signs installed at the corner of Wilson and Dunn and Wilson and Palmer as soon as possible, as no one can find our house.

the protected left turn light from westbound patterson to south rogers is only long enough to let about 3 cars go through. if any cross traffic fails to stop before the light is red, sometimes no cars can proceed before the protected signal ends. please consider increasing the length of time the left turn light stays green.

Eastbound 2nd st/left turn intersection us37 north. People are running red light as if they are in eastbound 2nd st lane when they are in the left turn lane. You have four traffic signals, two for left turn and two for eastbound. There should only be three and the people are confused on the lanes to go eastbound.There are a lot of last minute decsions being made that potential could lead to wrecks.Traffic signs,markings,lights are needed as well as engineering of interesection.

Traffic on Patterson crossing Rogers is backed up. The East/West light has always been too long, but with Tapp closed, it is even worse. North/South traffic could have a longer green without interrupting other lights.
