Big pothole by the stop sign
stoplight is still malfunctioning. we sat at this light (on landmark, trying to turn left onto 3rd) for almost 6 minutes this morning before giving up. it just repeats a cycle of the don't walk countdown for the crosswalk and then eventually goes back to the walk signal. the 3rd street light was green the entire 6 minutes we sat there. a few minutes later when i drove back home, a car drove up to the stoplight at landmark and the light changed instantly. so i know it doesn't malfunction every time but this has been a repeating issue for over a month now.
The stop sign is not visible when approaching from southbound. A stop warning sign and/or tree trimming would help.
For years, the local government has done very little to celebrate Pride despite the large queer population of residents. Please tell me some sort of celebration or partnership is planned for this June? Thank you!
Bike lanes on N. Smith Rd.need to be swept. The south bound lane from the Short Stop to Grandview Is particularly bad - full of yard waste, road debris, small bits of gravel, etc. Near the top of the hill, where the 14 foot sign is, there is a bush growing over the lane and face-slapping vegetation hanging down over the lane. I’m wondering if there is any regular schedule for sweeping bike lanes? At best, it seems this one gets swept about once a year. Sweeping the hill every couple of months wouldn’t be too often. The bike lane is narrower than recommended width to begin with. It gets really dangerous when we have to ride near the white lane (or sometimes in the car lane). The painted lines make drivers believe everything is ok as long as they stay between their lines and they don’t realize how closely they are passing vulnerable bicyclists. I’m sorry I don’t have pictures of the bike lane. But it should be easy to see what I’m writing about, especially if you are on a bicycle.
The honeysuckle on the west side of the street is blocking visibility right exactly on the curve of Martha Street so any cars going in either direction will not see a car coming in the other direction until about point of impact. This honeysuckle was cut down at when the city put in the new sewage line right at that corner and I asked the people working on the sewage line to dig up that honeysuckle so that it wouldn't block this ability but now that tree has grown has been growing since 2019 and is now overwhelming the corner no visibility very dangerous hazard and it looks like this tree is exactly on the easement and not on the property of either neighbors there.
Storm drain is clogged with gravel and debris from driveway at 103 S Clark. The gravel from the driveway is washing out onto E 5th St as well.
Poison hemlock growing along the Jackson Creek just below The Shoppes.
Yard has not been mowed, and this is an issue every year. House seems to be abandoned.
