There is always standing water here on this sidewalk. It was a sheet of ice last month. Is there a water main break? So much water can not use the sidewalk. I do not want to have to walk in the street.
I'm not sure if this is the proper way to report this, but there is a very dangerous crosswalk where I've almost been hit multiple times and I have seen the same thing with other pedestrians. The problem is when crossing from the NE corner of 10th and Walnut to the NW corner. The problems result from the fact that 1) the crosswalk is obscured from view for drivers on 10th coming from the East and 2) the stop line for those drivers is back from the intersection to allow for trucking turning E on 10th from Walnut. The result is that pedestrians start to cross on the walk signal but the drivers turning right from 10th have a bit of speed by the time they can even see anyone in the crosswalk and frequently can't stop in time when they come upon a walker. The only real safe way to navigate that crosswalk as a pedestrian is to just not use the actual crosswalk (eg. stay way to the left almost in the lane of traffic so you are even seen). If you try crossing there at 5pm any day of the week, you will immediately see what I'm talking about. ;) I'm not sure what the solution is but I just know it is very dangerous. At a bare minimum, I would suggest removing the bush at the NE corner to increase visibility but even then the layout of that corner is dangerous so perhaps someone can take a look and see if anything can be done? Thanks! --Rob
Weeds are very high.
Side and front yard overgrowth
Bamboo everywhere in the corner of 10th street and summit street
The sidewalk along Winslow Farm Drive, just north of E Winslow Road, has been blocked by construction debris for months. This is a result of the Winslow Farms Homeowners Association renovating their ponds, but there has been no work done in months, and a pile of timber has blocked this sidewalk for months. The WFCA board cannot seem to get action from the company that has stopped work, so I am hopeful that the city can push them into at least clearing the sidewalk of debris. Thank you!
Vegetation overgrowth and fallen limbs block sidewalk. North side of 9th between Fairview and Jackson. Also east side of Jackson between 9th and 8th.
Rogers Street side of the old hospital: Unsafe walking conditions on sidewalk due to lack of snow and ice removal
Patterson traffic lights at West 2nd have never been green long enough. This causes traffic to back up on Patterson and people running the red light to get through the intersection. Patterson needs another 5 seconds of green for the left turn arrows and 5 more seconds green to cross 2nd Street. This would allow another 3-5 cars through the intersection each cycle. Most of the time there's no traffic on 2nd Street while the Patterson lights are red.
