The right side of the street has no parking signs that can't be seen and no part of the curb is yellow. Starting at the first house as it curves numerous cars like to park at night on that side going up to spring Street. From the first house up 2 the first stop sign have people. Parking on the no parking side. We've asked them 2 stop, but maybe because this is a dead end street the city hasn't addressed the brush blocking the signs And no yellow curbs. My girlfriend hit a truck parked illegally at night last week. Sorry. To ramble but we need this addressed B4 someone gets hurt/ and or winter gets here
Sidewalk on west side, south of Third Street is overgrown and badly needs attention, both curb and verge. Creepy and unpleasant to walk on, and this is a major NW/SE route for bikes and peds. Thank you.
A year has passed since I wrote this (closed case #188144): 'The orange barriers along the sidewalk on S High Street between Wimbleton and E Meadowbluff Ct still have not been removed and remain a big eyesore. I was told that Duke Energy needs to do something there before they can be removed. I bet it has been 2 years now that those barriers have been there. Isn't it time that Duke did what they need to do in order for them to be removed?! The, by now faded, barriers are still there a year later. When will this eyesore disappear?
I am a resident of B-Linr Heights Apartments and I am disabled as is my daughter and quite a few other residents. We use the bus often and love having a bus stop close to the apartments. The problem though is that the bus stop is not handicap accessible. There is a makeshift ramp of sorts that is basically leftover blacktop that is sort of threw there. I know my daughter and myself usually walk alongside the road, there is a bicycle lane, until we reach a lower part of the sidewalk and there we try to lift our rollators to get on the sidewalk. I know there is an elderly man and woman who also take the bus and use mobility aides as well. It is dangerous to walk up the road but when you cannot use the makeshift ramp to access the sidewalk you are limited as to options. I know a few drivers have let us off the bus down at the green trades district sign that is at the road directly across from the apartments. This has helped as the area there is accessable. I don't know if the stop could possibly be moved down to there or if someone could look into fixing the sidewalk alongside Rogers St to make it more handicap accessible, but I do think many of the residents, not just myself, would be very appreciative of it. Thank you for taking this into consideration. We enjoy where we are and taking the bus, we just want to do so a bit safer. Thank you.
The sidewalk that runs along the west side of North Kinser Pike btwn Acuff Road and Rosewood Drive is overgrown with shrubs/grass. It is becoming very difficult to walk on the sidewalk. The main problem is closer to Rosewood Drive.
The small piece of extra curb at the pinned location is in the path of cars turning from 7th onto College and is not well marked, leading to cars driving over it instead of around it
When will the utility pole support cables be removed from the middle of the sidewalk? Thanks.
2 issues: one is there are End Construction signs left at the entry to Winslow Farms Drive off of Winslow Road, Please remove these, construction ended a long time ago. 2. When will the orange barrels be removed from all the crosswalks on Winslow Road? Also these brick crosswalks are probably going to be driven over due to poor markings and will be causing accidents Thanks.
7th street is a nightmare for drivers and bicyclists alike. The new configuration with medians and curbs came at a very high cost financially, and personal and property safety. Bicyclists must cross traffic and can't be seen; motorists have ongoing (even those who know the streets) problems navigating the extended curbs and the narrow streets. This is an ongoing problem area.
