Street Lights
East Cathcart Street
- Case Date:
- 3/6/2017
I'm the homeowner at 2424 E. Cathcart St. A light pole was recently installed, but the light fixture has not yet been installed. The pole is directly in front of our house.
We don't want this street light shining into our home windows at night. We are requesting a light fixture on that pole that is a "dark sky" type, which only shines downward, not 360 degrees. That light would otherwise ruin our nighttime, contaminating us with unwanted light from the street.
I don't know who is or will be responsible for this installation. Amazingly, no one has contacted us about it.

Resident reports that the stop sign is difficult to see while approaching this intersection (Sare Rd/Canada Dr) southbound on Sare Rd, and would suggest putting up a "Stop Sign Ahead" to warn oncoming traffic.
Claims to have seen two cars slam on the brakes for this intersection recently, and urges that this issue be solved what with the new students coming in.

This is my second report. These pot holes are very severe and do not need to be patched, but this alley needs to be completely repaired as the ENTIRE alley is severe and damaging. I am very worried that these severe dips will and have damaged my vehicle. I know this will benefit anyone who uses this alley. Thank you.
Biking & Walking
East 7th Street
- Case Date:
- 8/9/2017
In the transition from Longview Ave. to E. 7th St., the asphalt multi-use lane turns into a double-wide cement sidewalk. I've always stayed on the path because it links directly to the underpass at the bridge and seems and extension of the bike path. But today someone told me, "Get off the sidewalk idiot!" I pride myself on following the rules of bicycling. AQm I right or wrong to be using that stretch of cement?
Also, Smith Road between 3rd St. and Moore's Pike is a disaster for bicyclists--way too narrow to safely bike on the road, but only a cement sidewalk on the west side, which then vanishes to become a multi-use path on the WEST side of the road, which then vanishes again at the corner of Moore's Pike to become a sidewalk traveling west. How can my kids safely ride their bikes down Smith Road!?

Traffic Signals
East 2nd Street & South High Street
- Case Date:
- 7/11/2020
A tree branch is obscuring the yellow turn arrow on a traffic signal at 2nd and High. The traffic signal is for westbound traffic on 2nd Street. The signal itself is located on the western side of the intersection and is the southern (left when looking at the lights as traffic would) signal hanging there. It should be trimmed up.

Good morning
Is this road ever going to be repaired? Someone made a big deal about this a while back, and we were told it is the city's responsibility and would be repaired after graduation. It is almost July and the situation keeps getting worse.
As seen in the attached picture, the water is always there. It is constantly leaking from the sewer. The road in question is East 11th and Fee Ln.

Part 3 of my complaint. Last night Officer Skelton would not show up as requested to observe Randy's driving, suggesting that I video it and give a copy to the managers of the bus company. I explained they already know and are making excuses. He still didn't show. I Ieft a message for Ofcr Crider to call me. He was on a run but NEVER called me back. HELP.

Potholes and general surface area of brick crosswalk is in disrepair, with uneven surface area. The concrete surrounding the brick is falling apart, creating hazards for walkers, bicyclists, runners, etc. Restructuring & re-surfacing needed.
