In regard to Mayor's S.O.C. address: Mr. Berkey "shutters" at thought of CORNER CURB EXT.'S around town w/ streets as narrow as they are. "They take away a car's turning radius, slow traffic, just not working well." (ie., sw crner of M.C. Library block projection-light pole on it,crner has been extended, cars can park in it - "it's awkward & uncomfortable to make turn." He basically suggests NO MORE CURB EXT.'S!
Believes that the Somersbe development along S Rogers St was supposed to have installed sidewalks on the Rogers St frontage. Wants it looked into.
Westside of Patterson, north of allen near the bridge over the creek. The area is eroding away, has been since 2008, and needs to be repaired. Soon the sidewalk will cave in and eventually the street.
Caller reports steel rods/bolts sticking approx. 6-8" above the sidewalk (at edge of sidewalk) on the west side of the street next to the ball field on Henderson and before entering Winslow Farms Addition. Caller reports a vehicle hit the utility pole and damaged the area leaving the steel rods exposed and dangerous for pedestrians/kids.
Ms. Becker called to complain that a section of sidewalk on Sare Road between East Rogers Road and Sheerwood Christin Church's drive was caked with mud. I asked Asst. Engineering Services Manager, Rick Alexander, to determine whether it was an erosion control issue. He determined that it was not and stated that the sidewalk just needs cleaned up by the property owner. Ms. Becker would like a call back after an inspection has been completed. The sidewalk is on the south west corner.
Beth Holbrook called about a missing sidewalk linkage on the west side of S.Sare Road from Buttonwood Lane to a point about 250 yards south. She observes that access to the new middle school and park would be served by completing sidewalk. She acknowledges that the sidewalk on the east side of Sare Road would provide access. But it also needs to be completed. Please explore who is responsible for doing sidewalks and when they could be completed. I will notify sidewalk committee of concern.
