  • 1210 Lexington Ave Greensboro, NC - Greensboro
    This bridge has been crumbling and getting worse year after year. Now it has a serious crack and is in danger of falling into the creek if it isn't repaired. As it is, it should be identified to park users as an unsafe creek crossing. This bridge is beautiful and is similar to the other creek crossings in Morris Farlow Park. Please repair it!
  • Speeding on Lovett Acknowledged
    Lovett St Greensboro, NC - Greensboro
    Center lines and parking lines were just put down on Lovett, which is great, however this only gives drivers more freedom to drive at a much higher rate of speed from Freeman Mill towards Aycock. I realize there have been speed studies and officially there were not enough cases of speeding for the issue to be addressed. The study, however, was flawed in that it took place closer to the Freeman Mill end, near the stop light. I have personally watched 3 dogs get killed in the last 6 months due to careless speeding drivers. ALL 3 incidents took place mid way down Lovett, between Aycock & Freeman Mill. Drivers begin picking up speed from Freeman Mill right before reaching Ontario and don't slow down again until they begin to approach the church on the right, near the Florida St stop light. I'm sitting here this morning and can say there have been, at least, 6 cars in the last 15 minutes drive far over the 35 mph limit. The city needs to act on this before a child is killed, and eventually, it will happen.

    Hello again, there are four lights across Lexington Ave and Union St. before UNCG Spartan Village that work most of the time, however would definitely benefit the area if they could be upgraded to LED lighting. As it stands now, there are a couple of areas that are dark due to where these current lights can't hit due to their design where an LED fixture would be able to focus. I am asking these four fixtures listed below be upgraded as I believe it will help the area feel safer and become better lit at night for students. Since this is an area where fixtures currently exist, and half of it isn't part of residential, I felt that the official petition form isn't needed.

    Light fixtures to consider replacing with LED:
    738 Lexington Ave.
    796 Lexington Ave.
    1085 Union St.
    1063 Union St.

    The light on W Florida St and Glenwood Ave holds way too long whenever my car pulls up to it on Glenwood Ave. If there is a way for it to trigger sooner (especially when there's no traffic on W Florida St.) I would greatly appreciate it as I often have to wait on it now since Lovett street has been closed for several months now...

    There has been multiple areas that have recently had ADA ramps installed such as the Crosswalk area on Highland Ave. next to Gate City (closest to railroad tracks). Installing them here to the already deteriorating ramps and curve would not only benefit those with ADA disabilities (which there are quite a few of them who do commute via this sidewalk from the UNCG Spartan Village).
  • 701-711 Silver Avenue Greensboro, North Carolina - Greensboro
    It looks like recently one of the lights was replaced on the right, but an older one still remains. I have to literally be almost under the left light to see if it is green. This is especially difficult at day and distracts me from paying attention to the road. Please replace this last old-fashioned light, it is more of a safety concern than anything else.

    Good Evening,

    I wanted to put in a request to see if work could be done to continue to add ADA Audible crosswalk buttons on the other side of the crosswalk near the University of NC- Greensboro underpass. One side currently has them, but the side that is closest to Coliseum hasn't been updated with them. I've seen other places (such as Spring Garden St. and Aycock) where all four poles where the lights are, have them equipped. This would significantly help those out who are coming from the future University of NC- Greensboro recreation center and those who currently use that side to cross. Also, I do not believe they are audible if one wants to cross at the Glenwood Ave. crosswalk. I appreciate the time that goes into looking into this report. Thanks!

    Please have owner of Property or Pole remove Grass and dirt hill that surrounds this utility pole. It has become a home to a bunch of trash and cigarettes. This also takes up a good bit of the sidewalk making pedestrians walk around what they shouldn't have to. Other poles in the sidewalk in this area don't have this issue.

    The sidewalk has completely disappeared at the intersection of Glenwood Avenue and Hertford Street. It's the section of the sidewalk that is just north of the intersection on the northbound side of the street. Dirt has washed across the sidewalk and now grass and weeds have grown up in the dirt.
  • Street light Archived
    800-818 Glenwood Avenue Greensboro, North Carolina - Greensboro
    Is there any way that this light could be replaced with a brighter LED fixture to help make the area a bit safer? The light hardly lights up the street anymore. [Lighting looks brighter than in person due to the flash on my camera.]

  • 701-769 Lexington Avenue Greensboro, North Carolina - Greensboro
    Property is yet again trashed. Signage by fence. Multiple garbage items in parking lot of business. Does not make the area look any better. I never see anyone there and never see any vehicles as I walk past several times daily. Is this property abandoned?
