The street light has been out all summer. With the students back I feel it would be safer with it fixed.

This area is very dark, needs light
Very dark at night
There are no street lights and this is a very transient dangerous street. I feel extremely unsafe. The drug activity here years ago, seems to have returned.
There are no lights on this street, at all. The lack of light makes it feel even more unsafe and allows the transients in the area to break into cars and houses.
When I'm driving northbound on S Harrell Rd, I find it dangerous to turn left at this intersection. Specifically, the view to the right (east on Rhorer Rd.) is short due to a hill nearby. Traffic is supposed to be going 35 mph, but I believe that often traffic is moving faster than that, which gives too little time to determine if it's safe to make the left turn to proceed westbound on Rhorer. I know of at least one accident at this intersection in the past year. I nearly had one yesterday because I was starting to accelerate quickly to make the lefthand turn safely after a westbound car passed me (due to the short view to the east) but that car didn't have its blinker on, and it unexpectedly turned left in front of me when I was starting to move, and I had to brake to avoid hitting it. All in all, that left turn is dangerous in my opinion.
Additional request for street light. There have been multiple times where BPD has responded to fights and medical related issues at neighboring properties. At least 2x/month I am woken up late in the night by someone trying to open doors or windows. Last night someone slept on my closed-in front porch. Neighbors are also in support of a street light and have asked me to file this on their behalf as well. uR#199547 was most recent filed that I am aware of.
The corner of E. David Drive and E. Tapps Turn is a school bus stop. There is no street light there and it’s very dark especially for neighborhood children waiting for their bus during early morning hours. For the safety of children and drivers who come into our neighborhood via David Drive, we need to have a street light installed.
Please install a street light at the corner of David Drive and Tapps Turn to illuminate a corner that is used as a bus stop for K-12 students.
in the morning and in the afternoon when school is starting/ending one can spend more than 10 minutes making a left turn here. Today I had one car ahead of me attempting this who eventually turned right after 11 minutes, while at least 5 school buses trying to get to Tri-North and a large number of cards piled up behind me. A stop sign or a light that is programed for school hours would make it a lot easier and help keep everyone arrive on time. An additional challenge is that you have a lot of new drivers (HS) who don't always use their turn signals or don't know to stop before turning on to Prow Rd and allow for taking turns.
