Raleigh City Hall PLUS

After observing traffic for years, it'd be helpful if the yield sign included another for 'no merge lane.' See too many people who expect a merge lane and brake hard last minute.

I'm posting in this category because no others are appropriate. at the intersection of St. Albans and New hope Church if you are driving towards Wake Forest Rd. there is no legal way to make a left turn onto St. Albans. There is a median that needs to be removed and replaced with a left turn lane. People are forced to either make a U- turn or cut through a business parking lot in order to get onto St. Albans. I can see no logic behind this median being there. Also, I do not want to hear that this is because too many cars would be turning left and traffic might back up onto the railroad tracks. That's baloney. This needs to be corrected immediately.

Green electrical box out front of River Oaks Middle School has been knocked over & wires/metal is exposed. Needs to be repaired! Can't believe no one has called!

I reported this utility pole to Duke Energy Progress yesterday morning when I saw that it was leaning towards the street. This morning I drove by it again and is is leaning even further into the street. Yesterday it was not fully touching the nearby No Parking sign but today it is.

This pole has a transformer on it but no guy wire. It is slowly pushing itself out of its hole. When it finally goes over it will take out the tree next to it and probably a few cars, too.

I post this not because I expect CoR to fix it but for documentation purposes. Perhaps the city can convince DEP to do something about it as well.

FIRES set deliberately......by kids

(4-5) Children ranging in ages from 5 yrs old-13 yrs old are setting objects on fire in our neighborhood. On 5/ 11-5/12, they set long plant stalks and newspaper on fire under a dilapidated, plywood framed landscape type trailer w/ hitch loaded with dry hardwood mulch. They deliberately started the fire under the trailer on dry ground. The trailer has been sitting in the same location since the 2011 tornado. This is very dangerous! This is the second episode that our neighborhood is aware of and we are VERY concerned.
A 911 call was made yesterday and the police officer met with neighbors to discuss. The police report # is: P15-025435. Please contact the City of Raleigh police with any information regarding these kids and or any suspicious activity that fits these kids or this case. The responding police officer urged anyone that has information regarding any similar activity or the whereabouts of these kids, to please call the police department. These kids have also vandalized and damaged our property over the last few months, and have also created dangerous driving "obstacle" conditions in the street on Iron Horse Rd. This situation is only going to get worse. Please notify the police dept. if you see kids that appear to be unsupervised and doing harm to our properties.

Needs bike lanes downtown. Unsafe for riders.

"Very Suspicious"... auto and individual (persons) activity:

Police officers have previously responded to numerous calls regarding suspicious individuals and automobile activities at homes in the cul-de-sac on Wyndcliff Ct. and on Iron Horse Rd. If you see anything or anyone suspicious, please contact the City of Raleigh police dept.

As of 5/12, they have this activity recorded along with another unrelated complaint. The police report number is: P15-025435. Please refer to this number when you contact the police dept., and mention "suspicious auto and suspicious person activity" in this area. They have record of this already, but please call. This type of continuous activity WILL cause long term problems for the neighborhood.

There is a wire or something tied around the power lines that cross over the street here. This wire is tying the lines together but the end of it is hanging down. This looks like a very poor job of trying to get the bottom line off the ground a little more. Is the wire hanging down dangerous? It appears to me that it is possible that it is hot (electrified) since it is touching several lines. It is hanging down far enough where tall vehicles could possibly touch it.
