Mr. Edwards would like BPD to run radar on the speeders on South Walnut. He sees officers patrolling but feels it's not enough and someone is going to get hurt by a speeding automobile.
The business has a new and used tires sign onsite without an approved permit.
trash in yard, eyesore, complainant asks if something can be done. Vehicles have not been moved in over a year.
At about 8:30pm on 9/25/2024 a Marshall Security guy in a golf cart was blinding me and a friend with very bright LED lights as we were walking in Switchyard Park. This is unprofessional and unacceptable behavior the City must address with a contractor hired to keep the community safe. We were on a walking path that runs from the north side of the Skatepark to the B-Link crossing at Walnut. We were east of the skatepark and over the bridge before getting to the fence at Stryker Towing. This guy on the golf cart had his cart pointed from east to west in the middle of the path, right at us. The headlights are incredibly and painfully bright to look at in the night, causing us to shield our eyes to try to continue walking. He did not turn the lights off or try to angle away from us. He just sat there, pointing these very bright, LED lights right at us. The lights seem to be angled up and likely not the factory installed lights on the golf cart, something after market, intended to intentionally and knowingly render people unable to see as they approach.
There are clothes and one boot laying around on the grass by the entrance of S Walnut and where Retreat at Switchyard is at.
On 6/30/20 at about 9:00pm I noticed a group of people skateboarding on the stage structure at Switchyard Park. Normally I probably wouldn't mind or notice, but being brand new, I figured Parks & Rec would want to be aware to try to prevent it from becoming common.
The new pedestrian crossing signals on South Walnut are programmed to take too long. The flashing yellow takes too long and half the motorists come to a stop while others continue thru the yellow to beat it. This becomes dangerous because pedestrians see certain cars slowing and stopping and begin to cross. I've seen folks almost get hit. Then the lights go solid red, oftentimes after the pedestrians have already crossed the road. Then the flashing red is too long, confusing many motorists who can't read or understand the sign. The entire sequence needs to be shortened for safety sake.
