The signal at this intersection was set for a number of years so that it was traffic activated. Recently, this has been changed so that that light switches to red on Patterson (for quite a long time!) even when there are no cars waiting on Fairview - which is almost all the time. This holds up traffic on Patternson, which often backs up, sometimes to a depth of six or seven cars, and occasionally enough that the last cars in line can't make it through the intersection until the next cycle of the light. The city did this a few years ago with this light, only to change the light back to traffic-activated status after a few months. Has the lesson of that time now been forgotten?? Time to go back to things the way they were a couple of months ago! Leave well enough alone, people!
The stop light on weekends is messed up. It only stays green for about 6-7 seconds for traffic using Patterson. Changes without anyone even pulling up on either side of Fairview
6am, the light that stays green for Allen st at this intersection is extremely long and there is never another car coming from Allen.
Light indicating left turn onto park square drive and going straight is split in half on 3rd.
I was driving home last night and hit a huge hole and slit my tire. There is construction going on and this road is in horrible condition because of it. I went by to take a picture this morning but someone has already poured concrete in the hole I hit last night to fix it. At one point the area I am referring to on the road was completely dug up and had a big piece of metal over it. Since then it has been filled in with concrete or some other material which continually sinks in or breaks as it was last night when it split my tire.
Construction of new apartments caused rain to pool on road ( very poor drainage at new site) and many new large potholes along park square drive. Also, flooding occurred during rains that has never happened before at entrance to new apartments under construction.
New apartments being build with very poor drainage caused new flooding on park square drive at enterence of complex. Never had flooding in the area before and water runs right down new enterence into drain that is being clogged with mud from construction and is not big enough for area. Flooding caused many new potholes on said road.
The side of S. Park Avenue that lead up to the dead end does not get plowed or salted, making it extremely difficult to get out of our driveway, especially in this deep snow. This is very upsetting because I have now felt unsafe leaving my house due to this problem for the past 4 days. Unacceptable.
