Pothole to the southside of the street.
Pothole to the southside of the street.
Large pot hole. Just north of E. North Drive in S. Walnut Street. The pot hole is consuming a large side-to-side portion of the right most northbound lane of traffic on Walnut.
A worker painted on the road at the intersection. The worker was standing on the double lines. I noticed the worker and signaled that I would be negotiating a left turn onto North Drive headed east. The worker walked in front of my vehicle. The worker was unaware of his surroundings, nor had he seemed concerned about using safety equipment, i.e., cones, caution tape, spotters, or hazard lights. I was not traveling at a high rate of speed. However, this could have been a bad traffic accident. I believe the worker's hearing was obstructed as he wore a sweatshirt with a hard hat atop his head.
Snow removal at entrance off of walnut and the 45/46 entrance we were told was maintained by city, no one came Friday and both entrances are hard to access without 4 wheel drive.
The stoplight is not working as it should. It won't turn green for certain directions (northbound on Walnut Pike in this instance), or turns green for a very short period, letting two or three cars through. Cars were quickly jutting into the turning lane as an alternate to sitting through a third or fourth light on the way to work in the morning today.
Pothole in right lane (immediately north of intersection), endangering bicyclists
Workers were grinding sidewalk at this location around noon creating large, visible clouds of silica dust. Per OSHA regulations, concrete grinding requires use of a vacuum or water to control silica dust emissions. Clearly these controls were not being used or were malfunctioning. This was happening right next to a school. Children shouldn't get silicosis because of a cement grinder's negligence. This is the second time I've reported the issue of uncontrolled cement dust from sidewalk griding, please do something about it.
