"Going up and down Mountain Gap at the curves, is getting very dangerous. If your going up Mt. Gap from the parkways, car will get over and try to run you off the road into the ditch, cause there's not an edge and I've had 2 flat tires from being pushed off the pavement. They are trying to avoid the metal railing on the other side if your coming down Mt. Gap towards the parkway. The metal railing has been it so many times, its all bent up and it causes the cars to go over onto the line of the road and it pushes the cars half off the road. This has been like this for years and nothing has ever been done to fix anything. Cars and trucks are always flying up and down the road. Its just a matter of time before there's a really bad accident. Please get this fixed"

I believe they automatically go to the Mayor's Office? Maybe it depends upon which "Verified Official" account first touches the issue?
BTW, I was told that closing an old issue and opening a "fresh" one sometimes helps the actual problem get seen/addressed by the Hsv City officials. That's why I made the new issue with your old report, Cathy.

Ah. I guess it's that I haven't driven it westbound anytime recently.
As to why the city is not commenting... Firstly, it seems that Public Works is overrun with requests and will be hiring someone in the near future to handle their SeeClickFix account. Secondly, I was assured that lots of dialogue goes on between the different departments, and that if you don't see movement on your issue, then most likely there's a bigger fix involving Engineering being worked on.
