Was out at the Switchyard Skatepark until around 9pm. The lights for the rest of the park and the trails had been on for 20-30 minutes at least, skatepark lights never came on. They might've been turned off for the maintenance week a few weeks ago and forgotten to be turned back on perhaps?
Comments for the Engineering Department for their preparation in advance of the May commission meeting at city hall regarding safety improvements at the intersection of East Morningside Drive and Smith Road to encourage southbound traffic on Smith Road to stop at the Morningside Greenway: My observation in proximity to the stop sign disclosed that visibility of the sign is compromised by tree branches that have grown into the right of way to the extent of overhanging part of the southbound traffic lane. Limited visibility of the stop sign from the railroad underpass has the visual effect as if the sign were at the end of a long tunnel. Trimming the trees west of the sidewalk would have an immediate positive effect on safety at the Greenway intersection. Adding a STOP AHEAD flashing caution sign midway between the underpass and Morningside would be helpful. Flashing signs with solar powered lights are available on the internet for under $1,000 which seems reasonable for safety in comparison to medical expenses after a collision and the recent significant Greenway cost of sidewalks, speed calming bump outs and asphalt speed cushions. The Morningside and Smith intersection is well known for southbound traffic ignoring the stop sign. Commuters connecting from 10th to Third Street have grown accustomed to watching the stoplight at Third Street rather than respecting the Morningside stop sign. This notorious traffic hazard is deserving of a trifecta solution, including trimming trees, adding a caution sign, and replacing the stop sign, which in its present bent condition does not provide adequate reflectivity at night.
Grass and weeds are overgrown. This was an ongoing problem last summer and appears it will be a problem again this summer.
I have two requests: 1. Street trees need to be trimmed up. The new Post Office vehicles are taller and hitting lower tree branch. Other delivery trucks have the same trouble. If this is not a City’s issue please contact the Renwick HOA. My address is 1891 S Renwick Blvd 2. There is a water grate at my corner (Renwick and Seminary) where a tree is trying to grow. I,have been able to trim below,the grate in past years but unable to this year. I tried spraying with vinegar but no luck. Can someone lift the grate and remove? Many thanks. MVS
3 non operable vehicles and a piece of equipment have been parked for months in the street parking and do not move. Student legal services advises vehicles must move at least every 72 hours. Parking is difficult without extra vehicles just stored on the street. Now it is Little 500 and I’ve no where to park. Please move these vehicles and equipment. We have rights too and should be able to park on our street.
Big pothole, I go to work earlier in the morning so I can’t see it very well and I fear I will pop a tire.

There are multiple potholes on Sudbury drive from Weimer to W. Arbor Ridge Way, one is very deep and could cause vehicle/tire damage. Sudbury does not have street lights so for people not familiar with the roads they may not know to avoid that pothole. There is also a shallow pothole on W Arbor Ridge way about feet from Sudbury that is getting larger each week.
