I would like to bring to your attention the poor walkability of Rockport Rd between W Pinehurst Dr and Graham. This 200 yards' block is the "missing link" between the Southern Pines neighborhood (which has a decent sidewalk network) and the Country View apartment complex, which has the closest city bus stop. On this block of Rockport Rd, if one is to walk north from W Pinehurst Dr along the west side of Rockport, the sidewalk simply ends in a fence (pictured in the photo attached). I pass there often, and I've seen pedestrians use the road shoulder, which is quite dangerous, what with the narrow street, heavy traffic, and limited visibility (hills). On the east side of Rockport Rd, there is sidewalk part of the way, but it is not continuous either; besides, crossing the road twice may be dangerous, especially for older people and children, considering what the traffic and visibility in Rocport Rd is like. I think it would be highly useful for many residents (and for people who have to drive through there) if some kind of improvement project were undertaken. One ought to either build a sidewalk along the west side of the road, or to complete the sidewalk along the east side and create marked pedestrian crossings at W. Graham and W. Pinehurst (or W. Ralston).

There has been a large dip in the concrete in this sidewalk for quite some time now. It is located right when you pull in off of Third Street into the alley between Baked Cookies and Sweet Claire's bakery. The sidewalk must have been unstable when it was poured and one section has sunk down about six inches, leaving a ledge between the two sections. Thanks for your attention to this concern.

The storm grate has been eroded around the edge and there is a large hole on the side. This should be filled in as soon as possible so that someone does not accidentally step inside and twist their leg or ankle. I noticed the hole a few days ago but it seems to have gotten bigger and bigger. Thanks!

I have seen on multiple occasions in the past two weeks many small rats and large mice running about in the parking lot at the old post office building, across the street from the downtown church and bus stop. This problem should be addressed as soon as possible so that the rodents do not venture out and make homes for themselves down the street (where I live) and towards our beautiful downtown and 4th Street. Rodents are unsightly and, more importantly, a public health hazard, and I would hate to see them get out of hand. Thanks in advance for taking action on this issue.

The hair salon businesses located near 1025 S Walnut St would benefit from a bike rack. The owners of the salons expressed interest in the rack but were unsure of landlord support for a rack. The location is ideal for a rack as it is near the B-line and bike boulevard on Allen.

I was in the left hand lane on Walnut (going north) and a truck was next to me in the right hand lane. He sped up and slowed down with traffic so I was not in his blind spot. He knew that I was there. At the 3rd street intersection where the lanes do the "jog" the truck did not follow the lane markings. He instead went straight and "merged" into my lane, cutting me off. He did not have a turn signal on. I had to slam on my breaks in order to advoid an accident. This type of thing has happened to me many times at this intersection. The cars do not follow the lane markings! Can you repaint the markings or do something about this intersection. If you would just sit there and watch it in the mornings you would see what I mean.

the light at the corner of hillside does not work and I believe this is the reason there are so many accidents here. The arrow does not work.

Walk signal for pedestrians crossing aAtwater at Henderson is off and dangerous, restricting crossing when it should and encouraging crossing when it shouldn't. I've seen at least one close call. Please fix this! Thanks

Patterson traffic light at West 2nd takes way to long to turn and doesn't stay green long enough to allow the traffic that backs up through. It stays red for two to three minutes with no cars on 2nd Street.
