sidewalk is blocked along this stretch in a few places by overgrown bushes and ornamental grass. on the corner, the bushes are the responsibility of whoever owns the utility boxes they hide, along the road it's the houses behind the hedge.
Someone needs to check on the construction crew working Rogers Street in the Patterson area. They are blocking the sidewalk with their materials on the east side near the warehouse. One of the contractors unexpectedly pulled his truck out onto the street to block a vehicle and then pulled it out aggressively again almost causing an accident. When confronted about this being unsafe he said “I can do whatever I want“.
Overhanging branches from a tree. They hang so low that they strike cars.
At the S Highland / E 2nd St 4 way intersection I have within one week noticed four vehicles that have not obeyd the STOP signs on E 2nd street going east and west. Maybe the big tree in the north east corner needs to be trimmed a little? Or put up a pre warning sign of an upcoming four way STOP?
Sidewalk coming up the hill from the goat farm on Winslow road tis frequently overgrown and hard to walk on. Brush between the street and sidewalk needs to be extensively cleaned out. Thanks!
I frequently drive through the intersection of Hillside and Henderson, often approaching it from the south (on Henderson). I hope the city can consider putting a "No Right on Red" sign there. This intersection has students from Templeton and South High School as pedestrians and cyclists (and from South as drivers). When you are turning right/east from Henderson onto Hillside, you do not have visibility until you have pulled forward into the crosswalk across Henderson. Because of the difficulty seeing if you have a clearing, I can imagine someone wanting to speed into a right turn...but it is a very populated corner with Feast there and apartments and Templeton close by, and pedestrians in the crosswalk could be at risk. I have counseled my daughter, who is learning to drive, not to try to turn right until the light turns green (and to wait to signal till then). If you have your turn signal on, people behind you can get impatient...a stressful situation for a new driver. And since there is a lot of traffic going to and from the high school, this intersection has a high concentration of new drivers. A friend of hers on a bike was hit last year at that intersection.
Need street-surface traffic direction arrows painted in the 2 lanes of S. Clarizz heading north. I have seen people make the right-hand lane into a left-hand turn onto East 3rd St. Please see pic of suggested arrows. The yellow marks are the direction available besides a right turn. Tx!
repairs on grimes here are poorly done and rougher than the potholes they filled
Storm drainage is an issue here. When it rains, water is entering the basement. Heavy rains back up due to improper grading on 3216 and 3212 S Oaks Ct. Can someone please look into what can be done by the neighboring property owners or the city? Any more information on easements or compliance with original plats would be helpful. Thank you.
Hello, I was biking north on S Walnut St. in the bike lane around 3:30pm on Friday afternoon. A BT bus passed me and then immediately pulled over in the bike lane to stop near Smith Ave. This alone is unacceptable, as the driver could have simply waited a few seconds to pull over instead of cutting me off. I was able to bike around the bus, but again, as we were approaching the 3rd St. intersection and the bike lane was disappearing, the bus passed me again. At the intersection, the bus was going to turn right onto 3rd, so I waited for the bus to turn, but then he waited for me to continue straight. I passed the bus on the right side and the driver (older white man) was clearly annoyed at me. I support transit, but this interaction was uncomfortable and not how busses should interact with cyclists, especially on a busy corridor.
