This is one of the few street intersections that I have encountered, particularly while walking at night, that has NO street light to illuminate the intersection of the two streets.
The area along the south side of Rose Hill cemetery on W. 3rd St, west from Walker until the lights from Cresent Donut and the Marathon station has NO street lighting. This is a corridor that often has the homeless headed to Wheeler Mission. I have driven on it at night and found people walking and a guy in a wheelchair as well in the west-bound travel lane of this roadway -- virtually invisible! Until Beacon's new facility is built, which I am sure will have outdoor lighting, this is unsafe for the bicyclists and pedestrians who travel this piece of the old Whitehall Pike.
Mike Baye called into Risk and informed me, Jazmyn Forte Plunkett, that his whole street was recently repaved by the Street Department. He's noticed that water is not draining from the street properly. He explained that there was a crest and it's too high and water is accumulating near his neighbor's mailbox. His neighbor is a 70 year old woman, and he's worried that if the water freezes over, she could hurt herself. Attached are photos he sent over to me of the concern.
I reported the light at the alley because when it went out they replaced it with a very bright LED light. It is like a spotlight into my backyard and windows. Someone from duke came out at "fixed" it by pointing it down. But it is still way too bright. All of the other light in the neighborhood are a soft ember. There is no reason for this light to be so bright. And actually we don't even need a light here it's at an alley. It is too bright into my backyard and windows at night.
Cars parked on the grass.
Intersection is very dark at night
