As I drive west on 3rd, and get in the lane to turn south on High Street, the green arrow is not visible. I know it is functioning, because the traffic facing me stops and waits.
The signal for High Street traffic always preferences the southbound traffic, even when there are no cars there. I frequently sit on the northbound side of the light waiting for it to give us the green when there are no cars at all on the southbound side. We've had cars waiting northbound, eastbound and westbound when only southbound had the green with no cars there.
The sensors for the light for traffic southbound on High St. give that direction the green light (straight and turn) even when there are no cars there. The northbound lane can sit for a while waiting for the green for a while. I haven't timed it, but it feels like a full left turn cycle. This is not only inefficient, but frustrating. When you live in the area and have to deal with this all the time, it can really be annoying.
The large storm drain on the east side of High Street has a gaping hole where small animals fall in. Because of this hole it is not providing any type of filtering when it rains as all types of leaves and straw enter straight into the drain. There was a tube that had been around it, however, it was removed yesterday. I hope that this can be fixed soon!

1. Thank you for replacing the High St and E Southdowns signs so quickly when they disappeared. 2. The issue: There are bushes growing on a wooded lot on the northwest corner of the intersection at High St and E Southdowns Dr. Cars heading south on High Street and those trying to get onto High St from Southdowns can't see each other until the last second. (I tried to include a photo but my request wouldn't submit.) It is common enough for drivers on High St to roll through the stop sign or just barely tap their brakes. There haven't been any accidents that I know of but there is great potential. Can the bushes be cut back?
Deep potholes heading north on High St between Southdowns & Maxwell
While you likely know that the new retaining wall on the SE corner of this intersection has collapsed due to flooding, you should note that there is a huge sink hole next to the storm drain on the SW corner of the intersection, in the grass. We placed some stakes around the sink hole to draw attention to its location. My other concern is that the culvert under High St may have been damaged (or now susceptible to further damage) but may not be easily noticed. An engineer should check it out, it's a dangerous situation overall.

The storm drains along high street and into Sycamore Knolls are still blocked from the new trail construction and I just want to make sure that’s on purpose.
