Trash is accumulating on the west side of Morton Street between 6th and 7th Street. Trash is on top of a red canopy sheltering a bike rack underneath, and is also dispersed around the area.
The new median installed seems like an addition to try to help pedestrians make a safe transition across the street. I think that’s a great step as I often have worried about students at dismissal from south trying to safely make their way across that intersection to the bus stop. However as it currently is, it is not safe for drivers & maybe not even pedestrians. I watched 2 cars drive right over it just after dark, one definitely popped a tire. When I passed it another time I noticed multiple tire marks over the median. There does not seem to be clear enough markings on the median to warn drivers that they need to swerve to the side to avoid it. This is certainly true at night, yet I believe may be true during the daytime too as there are no signs or markings to show that the driver must shift to the right around the median or slow down in any way. Perhaps this measure taken to try to improve safety is actually more dangerous to all. A pedestrian may have a false sense of safety standing on an unmarked median that is not early visible or marked for cars to see. Can it be made into an official crosswalk with proper signage and clear expectations for drivers to slow, be aware and stop for pedestrians? Please take steps to make this safer for drivers and pedestrians. If school ever resumes this seems even more dangerous than it was before the addition of this median. Thank you!
People are using Boce Court in Switchyard as their semi-permanant residence and sleeping much of the day camped out on the benches. We have been dissuaded from playing multiple times and this was not how the park was intended to be used. Thanks.
Coming from Nancy and wanting to turn right onto Hillside, I have trouble seeing the traffic that comes from the left because of the high vegetation at the corner of Nancy and Hillside. Maybe it can be trimmed down a bit.
test there is a tall weed at 1122 Boogie Woogie avenue.
This property is vacant and is over grown.
Two manhole covers on Sassafras Hill Apartment complex (managed by Hunter Bloomington Properties) have been damaged for over 6 months. As you can see, the damage is quite severe. Rather than fix the issue, HBP has relied on traffic cones/barrels to block traffic from riding over the defective manholes.
Weeds are extremely high and there is a lot of ragweed.
