Large pothole in alley behind 857 S Morton Street
Large pothole in alley behind 857 S Morton Street
Several pot holes, 1 very deep one.
Two large pot holes at entrance to alley just East of 1200 block of S. Lincoln St (between Lincoln and Grant) where it intersects with E. Grimes Lane. Please fill them. Cars bottom out when transversing this intersection.
When trying to make a left turn from North Dunn onto Old 37 it is difficult to see westbound oncoming traffic on Old 37 due to tall vegitation. I had to pull out almost into the Old 37 and still could not be sure the road was clear. This, plus the speed of on-coming traffic eastbound on Old 37 makes this a dangerous spot.
The people living here have 4 cars and now a Pontoon Boat which is parked on the street. Usually a total of five vehicles. One in the yard, the boat and two other vehicles parked on the street.
The northbound traffic at Kinser Pike and the bypass gets so backed up many evenings past Brookdale Drive. It takes so many lights to get through. If you’re going straight, the majority of the cars are making right turns, especially now with the amount of student apartments that are along the south end of Kinser Pike. There needs to be a right turn lane on that side of the intersection. Also, on the opposite side of the intersection, the right turn lane and the straight lane of southbound. Kinser Pike holds a lot of water when it rains due to the new white curb with the white poles that has been installed there. Those are really an eyesore, but it’s causing water to flood when we have rain.
I own the law firm at the corner of 4th St. and Walnut Street. My parking lot access is from the alley on 4th street. The city allows street parking on 4th street up to the entrance of the alleyway. When pulling out of the alley, it makes it impossible to see if traffic is heading east on 4th street when there are cars parked in the spots next to the alley. A space or two needs to be removed so that people can safely pull out of the alley to turn left without getting hit by oncoming traffic.
There was an auto accident a couple of hours ago and all of the debris is still in the intersection causing drivers to unsafely navigate the intersection from multiple directions.
Blocking sidewalk
Trash and trash cans left on street overnight, 24 hrs after pick up. Trash should be in can, can return led to curb.
