Loose bolt on basketball hoop at Switchyard: The south basket at the Switchyard basketball court has a loose screw that keeps needing replaced/tightened. As you face the basket, it's the upper-left bolt. A constituent has been voluntarily tightening it when it gets loose, but he wants it fixed. He said last time the bolt fell out and the washer was lost and had to be backordered/the basket was out of commission for a while. He said he's submitted some complaints before and it is still a problem.
Switchyard basketball court lighting: Most of the park is well lit at night (pickleball court, skate park, etc.) but the basketball court isn't. Constituent would like to request lighting there so it's safer/easier to see.
On E Second Street there is a sidewalk under repair since at least last spring. The place is marked with stakes and yellow tape. You cannot walk on that sidewalk without having to step into the road. I specifically am thinking about the danger for mail carriers. The address of the house, though, is 602 High Street. It is the corner house. Whose responsibility is it to finish the repairs: the city's or the home owner's?
People walking north along the b line often walk along the left hand side of the bridge ramp to get to the Patterson sidewalk, might it be a good idea to pave this? There is a dirt path formed in the grass here.
The eastbound Lane of Patterson has several drain grates, around each of which the asphalt is significantly damaged and potholes are forming
The sidewalk from here all the way to the pedestrian crossing at Olcott sucks. It's an awful garbage sidewalk. There's been several reports about it being unsafe, and it's constantly blocked by vegetation. It's narrow and precipitous in places. Anything wider than a sedan risks clipping pedestrians.
Despite the city's high-level promotion of leaf mulching for the sake of saving time, energy, money, and the environment, the city continues to deploy teams of city workers to rake, blow, and bag leaves along the B-line trail. I would hope that the city would set a better example by implementing its own climate recommendations for its citizens in maintaining city and public land.
Street light is out at the corner of S Olcott Blvd and South Ct.
The street lamp at the corner of Adams St and Woodhill Dr (at the west entrance to the WestPointe neighborhood) isn't working.
