In installing a main fiber line, Trueline/AEG or its partner, removed the asphalt at the edge of the street and cut out a foot wide section of the city's paved drainage ditch. Erosion has occurred and further breakup of asphalt is likely. The area needs to be repaired and patched by someone.
There is an overgrown bush that completely blocks the line of sight for someone traveling east, looking north
Resident reports a dumpster parked in an area clearly marked with a "No Parking" sign on the street. Dumpster creates an obvious roadway hazard. Location provided is approximate. Dumpster was delivered evening of July 24.
There is a round aboutĀ on Summit Street and CottageĀ Grove. The roundabout is completely overgrown and is also covering up the drainage system. It's so high that when kids are riding their bikes and cars are coming around the corner, they almost get hit. It needs to be cut.

sidewalk on west side of college ave, about 300ft south of 3rd street. this barricade was in place on july 1, 8, 15, and 22. this photo is from july 22. see ureport 203907. on july 22, after taking this photo, i moved the barricade into the adjacent parking space. i'm not sure what it looks like today (july 24). it seems like Duke never re-opened the sidewalk when they finished their work?? is that why they were allowed to close it for 3 straight weeks? thanks! - Greg
This is an all-way stop with marked stop signs and crosswalks. Unfortunately, many drivers (mostly on Winslow going East or West) do not stop at all. And there are quite a few that don't even slow down if they presume no vehicles are close enough to hit them for speeding through unabated. A few anemic attempts to place police near the intersection at haphazard intervals hasn't really had a beneficial impact. This intersection is very busy and is a frequent crossing for pedestrians and cyclists along with school children. I have seen other communities that have purchased solar powered flashing stop signs that significantly increase attention to the sign. Or, to monitor the scope of the issue, and maybe levy some tickets, can one of the mobile police observation hubs (I see them at the Seminary Square Kroger parking lot) be placed at the intersection. I don't ever feel safe coming any direction in or out of my own neighborhood. With all of the out of town students and faculty returning soon, the problem isn't going to get any better. This has been a pervasive issue for the roughly 8 years I've lived in this neighborhood.
