Low hanging wire near the street light

How to fix a safety issue, by creating a worse traffic issue.
The light at Home Depot was changed to eliminate right on red; GOOD. But, instead of timing the left arrow on the opposite side to go red early and thus allowing traffic in shown direction to go, whoever programmed the light decided to keep the green arrow for the full length of time. This creates a line extending back past Heart's 4 corners. Add on school bus traffic and it's even worse.
I would get to 24 via Steven's Street and 140 north, but the construction created a big safety hazard in the morning because the on-ramp to 140 was shortened. So, when people are flying at 60-80, you have to punch it just not to get rear ended. Worse, if you have to get over two lanes to get in position to go 24 south.
Commuter rail and casino - if ever built - will make this so much worse. I hope whatever is end result of the construction addresses these issues.

Street light out at 23 Randall St for more than three weeks

Street light pole leaning and causing wires in yard to be reachable and hanging low. It's also causing the other pole its connected to to be super tight. Pole needs to be straightened and reinforced.

Wires are even lower now after the wind, rain and sleet we had last week

The crossing arm for the train crossing rests against the power lines when retracted. The warning signs for the crossing leading up to the crossing are also obscured by vegetation.

Following up with DOT number listed at crossing in AM.

There is no street sign at the intersection of Washburn & Washington Streets.

"no parking at any time" sign missing got ran into a few years back, hasnt been replaced & cars park on both sides of the road making it difficult to drive

Cable or electrical wire down

Tree branches blocking street light in between 140 and 152 Swan Drive
