I was struck by a car June 2 about 8 a.m. as I was crossing 6th St on the B Line. I was about 3 steps into the intersection when it happened. A young man helped me up. I’m not ready to relive the event, so I won’t go into details now. My daughter came to take me to ER. I am getting much better and continuing to walk on the BLine with great caution. The intersection f 6th and the B Line is not marked well. Some days the pedestrian walking sign is in the middle of the street, some days not!!!! I’ve seen women with strollers walking across there without looking, bicyclists going across, kids on electric scooters… all thinking cars are suppose to stop, as has been the case for many years. Please do something about signage and white lines immediately before someone is killed.
Fire hydrant tested recently?
The utility work along the Hinkle-Garton Farmsetead has routinely left gaping holes with little warning or no protection. Despite the lack of sidewalk, pedestrians still use this side of the road. This has been a broken leg waiting to happen. I have photos of 5-6 places over the last several weeks where this has happened
W 3rd St between Jackson St and Walker St is one way, with traffic flowing east to west. There are directional One Way signs when turning on to 3rd St, but there are no Do Not Enter/Wrong Way signs for traffic moving in the wrong direction. This results in frequent traffic moving in the wrong direction, which creates safety hazards. Please install Do Not Enter/Wrong Way signs on the back of existing signage. Thank you.

Fires are regularly being set on property adjacent to the Arlington Valkey Neighborhood. Several times per week, these fires are used to melt copper from wire or to make drugs. In both cases, the toxic fumes engulf residents’ yards and homes. In the case of Rosemary Dalton, this has caused illness on a few occasions. She has asked me to file this on her behalf
