invasives and other brush along Side path on South Sare from Buttonwood to Rogers is badly overgrown
invasives and other brush along Side path on South Sare from Buttonwood to Rogers is badly overgrown
Good news: curb cuts being added on E Covenanter! Bad news: desperately needing oversight and quality control. This curb cut FAILS several accessibilty standards.
A resident on the south side of Pine Meadows Drive asked me if there was anything that could be done about the brightness of the lights at the intersection of Rockport and Country Club. He said the light was really bright in his backyard, and that it was frustrating. I couldn't think of who to reach out to, but I was wondering if there was any way something could be added to shield the extra light that is apparently beaming into his backyard? I know lighting the intersection is important, but hopefully there is a way to light the intersection without lighting up his backyard. Thanks!
Debris filled front and side yard
There is a full tree right in front of Arby’s east, along E 3rd Street. This tree blocks westbound traffic from view (from the driveway just to the west) until they are too close.
Workers installing optic fiber cable in the neighborhood have left tools, trash, and a 15-20 foot pipe in our yard. We picked scattered stuff up but can't do anything with the tubing and pipe.
Trees/bushes are overgrown and starting to overwhelm the sidewalk on the north side of E Rogers between S Spicewood Ln and S Somerset Pl.
Traffic from 5:00 - 6:30 on Banta is very dangerous due to lack of sidewalks and cars attempting to bypass traffic on W Country Club by driving up Banta, turning left onto Ralston, then turning to Rockport, then West onto Country Club. This leads to cars driving very fast up Banta. I would have submitted this as a "Close Call," as I was nearly hit twice. Once while pulling into my driveway, and again while picking up my mail. I believe a 4-way stoplight, with preference for W. Country Club, would be a good solution to the current 4-way stop sign which I believe generates these patterns. If there were no advantage to cutting through the neighborhood, the number of people doing so would decrease. Another solution would be to position speed cameras, or police officers to identify reckless drivers and begin ticketing more extensively in the neighborhood. However, those solutions are more temporary.
My son, Jeff Shew, lives at this address. He has contacted the city about having the side of the road mowed. His driveway is on a hill and there is no visibility coming out of the driveway. Saturday when I left this address, I had to inch my way out into the roadway to see if anyone is coming. Luckily for me, the car coming, which I could not see, slammed on their brakes and narrowly missed hitting me. Will it take an accident or death to get the city to trim this area????!!!! Please address the issue immediately and get back to me.
I have a 10 year daughter and a 12 year old son. There are many younger kids in this neighborhood one of which has autism. Many cars throughout the day and night drive too fast around the curve on this road. I'm afraid that a child will be hit by a car. It would be great if a speed bump could be installed here since speed limit signs are not being adhered to.
