    The Hong Kong orchid tree on the corner of Shade & Stanley Place has a limb that's fairly low to the ground and would need trimming back. Is this something you would handle? Thanks!

    There's a wicker chair by the dog park in Arlington Park - not sure why, but I guess anyone could take it home.

    Somebody dumped garbage over the edge off a little bridge on Shade.

    There’s a trailhead to pedestrian walkway and bike path on this section of Webber. But there’s no way for pedestrians to safely cross the street here. It would be great to incorporate a pedestrian crossing here, so families can easily and safely cross and take advantage of the pedestrian path. It also could help to slow down cars on Webber that tend to exceed the speed limit.
  • Street Light Archivé
    2341 Webber St Sarasota 34239, United States - Southgate

    Along Shade Avenue between Grove St and Webber there seems to be a lack of street lighting. Maybe this also is part of what contributed to the deadly accident on the corner of Grove and Shade a few weeks back.

    The other concern is that many people are racing their cars along both Shade Ave and Webber in an effort to make the green light, often speeding up to 50mph or faster easily. This is supported by wide lanes on both Shade and Webber in this area.

    Since we moved here a little less than 3 years ago, we have seen many accidents in this area, involving anything from fender benders to overturned cars, and now a deadly accident.

    I’d appreciate you looking into ways to slow down traffic in this area to ensure a safer neighborhood. Thank you.

    There's a big dip with circular cracks surrounding it in the roadway on Shade Ave, right at the entrance to Stanley Place. A neighbor seems to think that there is a broken pipe underneath it that slowly caves in and brings down the road.
  • Old Oak Drive & Siesta Drive Sarasota, Florida - Granada
    I like to go for walks over to Siesta Key, and on the corner of Old Oak Drive and Siesta Drive have to cross from one side of the street to the other, as the sidewalk ends on the north side of Siesta Drive heading west and continues on the south side of Siesta Drive once one passes Old Oak Drive. Unfortunately there is no formal crossing there to do so safely, and with the large volume of traffic, it is a quite dangerous intersection for pedestrians. I'd like to request a formal pedestrian crossing with proper signage and street painting, as the curbs of the side walk have even been designed for a crossing already. Attached are photos of the current situation. Thanks for considering my request, as this would greatly help making this intersection more pedestrian and bike friendly!
