Neglected sidewalk. Vegetation and debris make it a tightrope walk.
Neglected sidewalk. Vegetation and debris make it a tightrope walk.
Stones from the wall along the sidewalk keep falling into the sidewalk. These are large stones and create a tripping hazard, especially for someone with impaired vision or during low light conditions. The landlord does nothing to address the problem which has been going on for a long time and is getting worse. Passers-by sometimes try to get the stones out of the way, but they keep falling back onto the sidewalk.
When will the B-Line trail be finished between Adams Street and Fountain Drive? There has been no activity or progress on this "missing link" since 2024. What is the hold-up or reason for delay? Please provide a timeline for completion of this last section. Thank you.
There are some weeds growing up here that make it particularly difficult for drivers that are eastbound on E Smith Ave to check for northbound traffic on S Lincoln St before turning left onto Lincoln St. In the summer, this is a particularly busy area during pick-up and drop-off for the Lincoln Street Boys & Girls Club summer camps. It would also be ideal to take a look at the curb markings here to see if street parking can be adjusted to improve visibility at this intersection. Thank you!
Tree covering huge portion of sidewalk, unable to use sidewalk
Shrubs on east side of front yard are overgrown with tree-of-heaven, and the other plants have grown so much that they are blocking half the sidewalk. Property owner (absentee - lives in another town) doesn't keep this properties looking nice. They are either overgrown or else he completely removes all the plants so that the properties are only grass. Always too much or too little. Such a shame...
Shrub on corner is so overgrown it makes it difficult to stay on the sidewalk.
Bushes are overgrown and blocking the sidewalk at/near 3331 and 3411 N Kinser Pike.
The northbound traffic at Kinser Pike and the bypass gets so backed up many evenings past Brookdale Drive. It takes so many lights to get through. If you’re going straight, the majority of the cars are making right turns, especially now with the amount of student apartments that are along the south end of Kinser Pike. There needs to be a right turn lane on that side of the intersection. Also, on the opposite side of the intersection, the right turn lane and the straight lane of southbound. Kinser Pike holds a lot of water when it rains due to the new white curb with the white poles that has been installed there. Those are really an eyesore, but it’s causing water to flood when we have rain.
People regularly park on the street on W. 15th off of Madison. People like the mailman understand to pull off the road onto the grass (which is a little annoying but acceptable). But we seem to have plenty of mowers, random people etc... that just think it's street parking. This blocks a sizeable portion of the road. It happens at least once a week. The disappointing part is that there is curb parking on Madison literally 20 ft around the corner. I've told a number of people but most don't care. It'd be great to have a NO PARKING sign on W. 15th or a 'street parking on Madison' sign or something. That's it. It would really make it safer considering we don't have sidewalks on this part of W. 15th so clogging the road creates a potential for disaster and inhibits things like buses for school/elderly.
