Duke Energy cuts down trees on private property without regard to whether or not it is needful to do so. They damage private property, leave fences open or damaged, and leave trash behind. They need to be checked by the city before we have no trees left.
I understand that there are projects being done next to North Washington, but this is a residential street with people who live here and need to leave for class and other obligations. There are many times we cannot leave in time or the road is blocked due to an abundant amount of trucks And other work vehicles. This project has been going on for a long time. It’s blocking parking spots overnight and preventing us from leaving and coming back to our homes easily. It’s preventing our trash from being taken. There are many weeks where our trash never gets taken because of the blockage. there needs to be better solutions to this.
Speed limit on Patterson Drive is still 40, from the old truck route to RCA. Should be 30.
Construction project that was set to begin 8/20/25 started out of nowhere on 10/6/25, putting Rogers to northbound traffic only. If you do try to go northbound, there is to be a flagger at the Novo Nordisk entrance, but this morning there was not one. Traffic backed up going northbound, and traffic was still coming southbound. Thus, things were at a standstill as there was no flagger from Crider & Crider (company logo I noticed on trucks) to direct traffic. Would like to know when this project will last as it didn't start on time and there was no notice that the southbound lane would be completely closed, even to those of us who live in the area.
The sidewalks along Basswood Drive haven't been shoveled. If this is a city issue, than please do it. If it's due to apartments lining the street, cite them!
THERE IS ONLY ONE PORTION OF SOUTH COLLEGE MALL ROAD SIDEWALKS THAT ARE CLEAR OF SNOW. ALL OF THIRD ST OK THE EASTSIDE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET STE STILL UNCLEAR. I CANNOT CROSS THE STREET DUE TO THE GINORMOUS MOUNDS OF SNOW STILL ON THE SIDEWALK CORNERS WHILE THESE ROADS ARE CLEAR AS DAMN DAY. MY MOTHER IS A WHEELCHAIR AND CANNOT LEAVE HER COMPLEX BECAUSE SHE HAD TO BE IN THE STREET. I HAVE LIVED HERE OVER FIVE YEARS AND YOU ALL ABSOLUTELY NEVER ENSURE THAT SIDEWALKS ARE CLEAR NOR DO YOU HOLD ANYBODYYYYYY ACCOUNTABLE FOR NOT CLEARING THE SIDEWALKS ON THEIR PROPERTY. ITS ABSOLUTELY RIDICUOLOUS. THERES ARE PEDESTRIANS IN THIS TOWN WE WALK EVERYWHERE EVERYDAY AND IT IS INFURIATING AND UNFAIR TO BE TREATED THIS WAY. IT IS NO LONGER SNOWING CLEAR THESE SIDEWALKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sidewalks by the Christ Community Church and surrounding areas have a lot of snow and is is impossible to walk there safely. Many students use this route to walk to campus buildings.
From 3rd street to Highkand Park Elementary, the sidewalks have not been cleared of snow. Our students are walking in the street and/or over large mounds of snow. I am concerned fire our students safety while washing to school. I would appreciate any help in having the sidewalks cleared.
At 3:54 pm today, an emergency vehicle was approaching this intersection from the south (with lights and sirens) and a white BT SUV turned from W Grimes Lane onto N Walnut Street. The emergency vehicle turned west onto W Grimes Lane, making their paths a close call. This is just a friendly reminder for them to stop and yield rather than turn right before the emergency vehicle reaches the intersection.
More than a week after the snow stopped, I encountered many terrible sidewalks today. Just a few: west side of Rogers, between Kirkwood and 4th, around Regions bank on Kirkwood and Rogers, in front of the Gables house, along the Indian restaurant at the corner of Sixth and Walnut and from the steakhouse to the trail on 6th street. Also, can you please, please require that the sidewalk be cleared to the street? Often, the sidewalks are decent, but then you have to climb over a slippery mound at the corner as you approach oncoming traffic. Definitely a hazard. Please do better. Thank you.
