the stoplight here recently (within the last week?) started cycling way too quickly for 2nd st traffic. as soon as it turns green, there is a 15 second countdown which means not everyone who was waiting can make it through the light. meanwhile, cars are able to drive up to and through the light with no problem on rogers during their part of the light cycle. the westbound left turn arrow is also too long. there is usually one or maybe two cars, but the light is longer than the eastbound turn arrow which gets significantly more traffic turning left
There is a detour sign in the middle of the sidewalk at the NE corner of Walnut and Second. It creates an obstacle for people with disabilities. Please tell your employees and contractors not to obstruct sidewalks. It happens a lot.
During the construction of the new building on Kirkwood, the flow of traffic has been shifted. It is clearly marked on the road, but given that it is new, I think some kind of physical lane divider may be needed (like those posts that sometimes are put up to separate lanes of traffic). I drive through that area frequently, and it is clear that a number of drivers are caught by surprise/startled when they realize they are driving in what seems like head-on traffic to the other lane that has shifted. I am concerned that a minor accident is likely.
Our sewer line has been damaged due to a line that was ran through it recently. We are having sewer issues now and have had to dig up the damaged area to repair. The South Central Community Action Program owns the property and is a non profit organization. We are limited on resources and would like the contractor to pay for the damage please.
On Pete Ellis Drive at the railroad tracks just South of the East side Post Office: there are trees that have fallen and are blocking the sidewalk and other trees that look precarious and are leaning over that area. This is a safety issue and an accessibility issue for those in a wheelchair or walking or walking with a baby stroller. This is probably due to the tornado damage in the area, but this needs an immediate resolution. Thank you.
This is not a blocked (by car) alley, per se. This alley is not accessed by car, but it is unclear if this alley has ever been vacated by the city. I would like to know if overgrowth and trees within the alley running north/south from W Ralston Dr to W Country Club Dr, within the block bordered by S Milton St and S Rogers St, is the city's responsibility. According to the plat map of Broadview, the alley is 12 ft wide. Thank you.
Driveway gravel covering sidewalk. I have rectified this before when the volume was much smaller. It seem to be a defect, although it may meet code. Neither residents, nor owners/management are cognizant of the issue, apparently. They still haven't rectified the reported and NOVed light trespass issue either.
Tree branches have been cleared from the street but are still blocking the sidewalk on E 2nd St near the corner of Woodlawn Ave. I think it is a fairly important sidewalk as it is close to Harmony School.
Tree down across the road on north side of 6700 S Victor Pike between there and Tramway.
