Taylor or Young or both trucking is hauling dirt to the quarry behind the motels on Rd46 and as they leave the road they are making a mess and not cleaning it up. Part of the road was recently repaved because of them and now they need to clean up the road all the time not just when they feel like it. I keep my cars clean and I should not have to drive though dirt and mud to leave my house.
My wife and I live at 515 W 3rd st, in Prospect Hill. I would like to request a simple upgrade to the functionality of the pedestrian signals at the S. Rogers st. and W. 3rd st. traffic interchange. I will reference the City of Chicago as a best practice. In Chicago, in almost every intersection with a traffic light, all pedestrian signals utilize the following sequence: a) When the light turns green, the white walk icon light actuates. b) When the pedestrian signal reaches the 30 second level (sometimes more or less than 30 seconds, depending on the overall duration of the light), the white walk signal changes to a red blinking don't walk icon and countdown timer, which counts down the remaining walk time. c) When the timer reaches 0, the blinking light changes to a full red don't walk icon. This coincides with the traffic light turning yellow. d) This functionality is in place 24/7/365. This functionality provides crucially important situational information to both drivers and pedestrians on the status of the traffic light. This is especially important as we somewhat frequently witness incidents of road rage at this intersection, as an unintended consequence of the no right turn on red signage that has been placed at this intersection. I am generally supportive of the no right turn on red signs, but the signage has definitely created this new issue. Because this functionality already exists at this intersection (in some pedestrian signals, at some times of the day), there should not be any material cost to make this change. It will require a technician to modify the code in the microprocessor that controls the lights. Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like to discuss further. Thank you.

Each of the 4 corners has a button for the walk signal in each direction EXCEPT for the NE corner, which has only one. That should have 2 as well.
The bushes on the left behind Arby's and bordering Best Buy are overgrown. This affects line of sight from anyone turning left from CVS area going toward Aldis. They definitely need to be trimmed but not sure if it's a city issue for Best Buy issue.
2900 S. Spicewood Lane @ E. Rogers Road: stop sign blocked by tree branches which also hang into the roadway and sidewalk row. tree is in tree plot at corner & prevents adequate clearance and visibility pulling out onto E Rogers Road at busy intersection.
Where Sowder Square meets Allendale Drive in Sherwood Oaks you cannot see traffic coming from the right. Almost everyone on Sowder Square has accidentally pulled out in front of traffic because they can't see traffic coming. The large bush needs to be removed before there is an accident and somebody gets hurt. Can you please take a look at this issue for the residents on Sowder Square. Thank you!
Orange cone left out near sidewalk
S. Sare Road & Spicewood Lane-northwest corner, shrubs, trees, grasses obscure safe entry onto Sare from Spicewood next to homes & 2751 E. Spicewood Lane and home north of it on Sare.
New traffic patterns require 4way stop or light. Please do not wait for the subdivision to be completed. Install now please.
Just wanted to take the time to think you fine folks for waiting to close down Rogers Street by centerstone till after the college kids came back now you have traffic from Walnut Street all the way past the liquor store on 2nd Street by 45 minute trip from there to Kroger's. I'm sure you guys were voting on some raises or something like that but thanks a lot
