Dead skunk in the road.
Dead skunk in the road.
Just saw vicious dog fighting. 2 pit bulls always loose and another were fighting and it took at least 3-4 people screaming and pulling to break it up. The gray n white dogs often in our yards, and no one with them. They stay in the shed behind the house where Several homeless people live
I just saw our neighbor jog by the front of our house with his dog off leash. This person is a repeat offender of having this dog Bentley off leash. I have personally seen the dog on numerous occasions wandering into people’s yards and up to their front doors, pooping freely in people’s yards, including ours, and has even walked into my open garage as I was going out to my car for work in the morning. Sometimes the owner is nearby sometimes the dog is completely by itself. I have reported this multiple times. Sometimes I have managed to get photo and video evidence and submitted to ureport. This person clearly has no regard for the dogs safety allowing it to be off leash so flagrantly in public and no regard for others in this neighborhood just trying to mind their own business with this dog being allowed to do as it pleases on their property. Please speak with this person.
I think it is now more than three years since there have been proper crosswalks for pedestrians crossing Third Street at the Jordan Avenue intersection. It is more than two years since the first time I wrote to inquire about it (March 2016). I was told then that it would be done in the summer of 2016. I wrote again in early 2017, and was told it would be done in the spring of 2017. A friend of mine wrote in the summer of 2017 and was told it would be done in the fall. What the heck is going on? After the recent work at Third and Woodscrest, new crosswalks appeared immediately. For it to take years at a corner where the pedestrian traffic is much higher seems truly unconscionable.
Poison ivy is growing rapidly on the third yellow pole east of Jefferson on the south side of the pedestrian path. There's also more poison ivy along the north side of the path, further east, on the ground along the edge of the path.
I rode through on 4th heading west to east and encountered a fair amount of loose sand on the road surface. It is on 4th just east of Walnut. That was around 10:30am. I have not been back through to see if it is still on the roadway.
The green painted "bike box" and bike lane entering it are full of gravel and debris. It on the east bound lane of 7th Street just west of College - at the light for 7th.
Please add a flashing light and signage at the crosswalk where the B-Line crosses Rogers to alert drivers to be prepared to stop for pedestrians. It's especially important because the sidewalk on the east side of Rogers is closed, so people entering or exiting the B-Line there need to cross from or to the west side of Rogers. (I.e., we can't walk on the east side and cross Rogers at the stop sign at 11th St.)
East Fourth Street on the east side of Jefferson is blocked by tree limbs. The limbs hang down across Fourth (which at that point is just a pedestrian path) and extend down almost to the surface of the path.
Can we please get a barrier like cones to partition the bike lane on third? This would help bikers feel safer and actually use the lanes and cars from blocking other cars and buses and creating problems by CONSTANTLY parking in a no parking area by slowing down and pulling over. I get annoyed as a driver but would be even more mad if trying to bike or driving a bus.
