We will also ask the Urban Forestry Division to check the area for possible tree pruning.

Duke Energy Progress reports there is a bad underground circuit feeding this light. They have referred this repair to an underground crew and it will be scheduled as soon as possible. No further updates will be provided by Duke to the City. Please call 919-508-5400 for follow-up.

Thank you for the up date. When the light is turned back on I will report it here.

it appears that they have begun work on it as of Friday, December 6th.

12-22-13 There has been a significant amount of work done here since first reported. It looks like there are good intentions. but as of today....no light. Photo is from 12-20-13

This work is being completed by Duke Energy Progress, please call them at 919-508-5400 for an update.

They stopped work on this for the holidays and the extent of this operation has caused them to dig up sections of street that have not yet been repaired. There is actually a "chunk" of street laid off to the side of the road and a gaping pot hole left in its spot. I will attach additional photos of what is occurring here. I would like this to remain open to keep this open until the work has been completed.

This issue was reported to duke energy by several people in the neighborhood, and there are several people who have re-reported this as their work has been ongoing in search of this problem.
They have dug up road,sidewalk, and several yards in an attempt to address this light apparently.
They have added other lights in the area, almost overnight compared to this.
I just want the importance of this light to be known. It is at an intersection that can be dangerous for pedestrians and motorists as it is a turnoff from a heavily used roadway. When it is dark on this corner extra caution is needed to proceed. And without this light there seems to be a tendency for loitering to be increased, that increases the danger for motorists to turn onto the smaller road.

At least here they attempted to tend to the property

They have begun work again, this is on the 6th

Parks and Recreation has trimmed trees in this area.

Update on this light, I have seen work come to a halt here and thought an update may help
this picture is of the warning ribbons left behind and other litter on 01/21/14

This is a picture of the light still not functioning from 01/25/14
other lights in the area have been repaired and even added, I wonder how Much longer this is going to remain an issue? We are now 9 weeks and counting for this issue, and that was since I first reported it after a month of nothing being done from phone calls to duke by myself and others in the neighborhood. We have had other lights repaired in the area, new lights installed, and even crosswalk lights installed and repaired. This light is appreciated by most that live in this subdivision and not having is poses a traffic concern for all that live here, as mentioned in a previous post.

We will ask Public Works to follow-up with Duke Energy.

Update per Duke Energy Progress: This light has been repaired. There was a bad neutral cable causing the light to cycle.

I will check again tonight, however this light has not been on at night recently, and I would like this to remain open until I can verify that it is operational, as they have notifies they have resolved this problem in the past and that was not actually the case.
I will investigate this evening.

Thankfully this has been corrected and is operational prior to this winter storm.
Thank you for your help in getting this resolved.
This light is in the foreground on the right of the picture, looking down brandyapple.
