Hi, I am hoping you can forward this to the appropriate person to address this concern. This weekend I was biking with my son, going east on 1st St and entering Rogers-Binford campus by the playground. We were approaching the trail connection at the end of 1st street east of High St and I was largely focused on the road because it's a bit bumpy there. At the last second I realized there was a metal chain stretched halfway across the trail. I was able to slam on my brakes and skid to a stop, but it was quite a close call. The chain is not particularly visible and wasn't there the last time we went through. We came very close to getting hurt, and it seems likely that someone will get hurt if it stays as is. Someone going through at night is going to be in for a rough surprise. I understand you probably put the vertical post on a tire in the middle of the trail to discourage cars from driving through there and that seems fine, but please (please!) don't stretch a chain across the trail. Or if there's some critical reason that the chain is there, then at least hang a bunch of large bright flags from it or something. Thank you! - RS

Near the north west corner of my property (801 S. Anita St) there is an uncovered opening to fibre optic conduit. I reported this to a non-city contact for the company (project manager Richard __Heart(?) phone number is 517-302-1270)a Few weeks ago but no action has been taken. Same gentleman to whom I reported some lawn damage caused by their horizontal boring machine, much earlier. Also no action.

Line of sight issue. Coming out of alley at 918 west second street very dangerous

The bump out curbs are a hazard to vehicles because they are not well marked in advance of approach. Vehicles are flattening tires and could cause a hazard to pedestrians from loss of control of the vehicle.

The people working on the fiber optic internet line left this hole in the road. There are lots of people who walk their dogs or bike in the dark, and I am worried that a dog will fall in it or it will cause injury to fellow citizens.

The sidewalk along Winslow Farm Drive, just north of E Winslow Road, has been blocked by construction debris for months. This is a result of the Winslow Farms Homeowners Association renovating their ponds, but there has been no work done in months, and a pile of timber has blocked this sidewalk for months. The WFCA board cannot seem to get action from the company that has stopped work, so I am hopeful that the city can push them into at least clearing the sidewalk of debris. Thank you!

Hoping to have a street sweeper come for the dried dirt/muddy mess that was left from fiber optic internet installation on this portion of Hunter. Quite a mess. Not sure it will be taken care of by rain as it is thick in parts.

You have 8 workers with their thumbs up their butts doing absolutely nothing and with whatever cheap traffic barriers in place traffic was stopped 3 ways-I waited for 11 minutes heading north and the traffic was backed up past the intersection at Hillside I’ve never seen anything as incredulous in my entire life

Blocked street from drop off and pickup of students. Cars are partially parking in 2nd St during drop off and pick up for school. Multiple people have complained multiple times over the past few years and nothing changes. The police department won’t address it because they say the school manages the drop off and pick up. However, they are blocking a city street twice daily. The school hasn’t responded. It is the city’s responsibility to ensure the streets are safe for driving. They’re even parking front of “No parking” signs. Please have the police address the city street being blocked repeatedly.
