Biking & Walking
352 W 11th ST
- Case Date:

on Rogers/Madison, where it changes name and crosses over the railroad tracks just north of 11th street, the bike lane is on the uphill side of the street. so at the apex, it switches from one side of the street to the other. at this switching point, we have lost our 'dashed line' merge zones. i am hoping that someone from Engineering will go look at the facts on the ground and validate its correctness. when it was conceptually designed back in 2011, i thought "gee they're gonna have to do a good job of signing that if it's not going to be a nightmare for cyclists to merge into traffic". and then when it was *finally* implemented around 2017-2019, it was just striped lines indicating that there is a merge. but when the bridge was re-decked in 2020-2021, they repainted it wrong. and subsequent generations of painting have each made it worse, to where the southbound merge zone is completely missing and cyclists are directed to stay in the abruptly-ending bike lane on the dangerous high speed downhill segment. and the northbound merge zone has been reduced to about 30 feet, again, at the wrong place for the merge.

sidewalk on west side of college ave, about 300ft south of 3rd street. this barricade was in place on july 1, 8, 15, and 22. this photo is from july 22. see ureport 203907. on july 22, after taking this photo, i moved the barricade into the adjacent parking space. i'm not sure what it looks like today (july 24). it seems like Duke never re-opened the sidewalk when they finished their work?? is that why they were allowed to close it for 3 straight weeks? thanks! - Greg

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to formally report an ongoing issue with a neighboring property located at 111 W Southern Dr. The resident, Ashley, owns three dogs. One of them, a dog named Ruby, consistently exhibits aggressive and disruptive behavior that has significantly impacted our quality of life.
Ruby barks incessantly, often for prolonged periods, particularly when we are outside on our front porch or tending to our garden. Despite multiple opportunities to address the situation, Ashley has made it clear that she does not consider the barking a problem, stating that because it does not bother her, it should not bother anyone else. This dismissive attitude has left us with no reasonable resolution and has effectively driven me away from gardening—a once peaceful and restorative activity for me.
In addition to the constant barking, Ruby regularly escapes into our yard, approaching us with hackles raised, barking and snarling aggressively. This behavior is alarming and feels threatening, especially when we are simply trying to enjoy our own property. When anyone walks by the house, even with Ashley present, Ruby behaves similarly, charging at pedestrians and displaying aggressive posturing. I am aware of at least one incident in which Ruby’s behavior caused such fear that she was sprayed with mace.
Despite repeated concerns from neighbors, Ashley continues to disregard the issue. She claims the dogs are "working dogs" and that their behavior is normal for the breed. However, they are not being worked, socialized, or exercised in any meaningful way. They are rarely seen off the porch or in environments like dog parks where they might interact with other dogs or people. Given that Switchyard Park is essentially our front yard and a public, family-friendly space, this level of negligence is particularly troubling.
I regret not filing this report sooner. I have been patient for years in hopes that the situation would improve, but the lack of responsibility and disregard for the safety and comfort of others has reached a point where formal action is necessary.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Pauline Ortiz y Pino
