I'd like for the water to be tested for giardia and cryptosporidium. I sent in a report weeks ago that was not resolved.

Early in the mornings, when driving on 3rd Street at the High St. intersection, the light is usually red for 3rd St. traffic. When it turns green, it only remains green for about 12 seconds, so I end up having to stop and wait there every day even when there is no traffic on High St. The way the timers are set now, the green remains on longer for High St. even when there are no cars there but remains green for 3rd St. traffic for only about a dozen seconds before turning yellow and then red, so we're forced to stop almost every day even though heavier traffic goes through 3rd St.! I ask that the time for green for 3rd St. traffic be made longer, say at least 30 seconds for 3rd St., or better yet, kept green unless a car shows up on High St. The way it is right now, it's as if more traffic is supposed to go through High St. when the opposite is true. This is causing wasted time each day, which adds up to quite a lot in the long run, so I ask that the green timer for 3rd St. traffic be extended or made to remain green as the default because the reverse is happening right now!! Many thanks!
One way/no left turn markings going West are not adequate. Have seen several people make a left turn onto the one way street.
Hi, I was with my daughter at the Southeast Park playground today and noticed an unusual plant near the swings and hobby horses with a tiny tomato-like fruit. My plant app identified it as Carolina horse nettle, which is a member of the nightshade family and is poisonous. I pulled and discarded all the plants I saw in the area with berries, but I am concerned that this plant is present on a playground and wanted to alert you. The berries look a lot like tiny tomatoes or globe eggplant and would appear edible to many. Thanks for your time!
I would like to suggest adding more no-mow areas to Bryan Park, specifically around all trees (to protect them), along the North boundary (several feet in depth) and extending the no-mow area along the creek tributary which runs North West-South East and feeds into the main creek. It would be very helpful to all wildlife, particularly birds and insects. I'd be happy to talk to someone about this idea. Also reduce the number of times the park is mowed (maybe it could just be every other week?) and stop using leaf blowers!
I am a Park and MC-IRIS adopt a Greenspace volunteer. Late afternoon I was volunteering to remove invasive plants in SEP and observed a white male adult driving a gas-powered motorbike at a high speed westbound on the Renwick trail and then driving up into a backyard about three houses south of the Moores Creek Pike parking lot. My park colleague informed me that this is illegal and to submit this as a U-report. This behavior endangers park and trail users.
Please consider traffic calming measures along Highland from Hillside to Winslow park - the path descends southwards, is curving, and speeding is too common. There are many children in the area for the Y, parks, gardens, schools, etc.
I live on Southern drive, which is a side street off of Walnut. I have noticed people speeding on Walnut and it has become increasingly dangerous for other drivers who are following the speed laws. Is there any way that there could be more of a police presence who can run radar and could possibly reduce the speeding on this road? I think it would really help! Thank you!
There has been only one tennis net up this spring. Can we please get the 2nd one hung soon as they all the other nets around town are up at this point.
There are a couple folks sleeping in the pavilion area and one tent erected on the nature trail. Have seen them the past few days taking my dog for a walk. Not sure if these are folks experiencing homelessness but figured city should be aware.
