A telephone equipment box, possibly belonging to Century Link, is standing wide open at the corner of W. Oak and Harris Rd. Possibly due to being vandalized .

At the corner of E. Chestnut and N.Main streets, someone has vandalized a telephone equipment box located just under the stop sign. The wiring inside is now exposed .

Fresh roadkill as of this photo .

After the recent heavy rains, a large amount of debris has built up in front of the drainage culverts underneath E. Juniper, between Meadowgrass Lane and Traditions Grand.e

You all may know this, but after thinking about it, I thought I should tell someone just in case you don’t.

This information is in reference to the storm water retention pond located at the corner of Wildflower Ridge Dr. and Juniper, in the Traditions neighborhood.

Last year, considerable expense and effort was expended using heavy equipment—I’m assuming by the Town, to grade the slopes of the pond, and to then plant whatever plants (I’m guessing they were plants such as cattail and water lilies) that are appropriate for that environment where the water level rises and falls.

At some point later last year, landscapers for Davis Landscape, who I believe has the contract with Traditions to maintain landscaping and to cut the grass in the common areas, ran their lawn mowers over all of those plantings. (I saw they were cut down on the day they were doing their cutting, and they and their equipment were still parked right there on Wildflower Dr, just like they always do on the day they cut.) I don’t remember exactly when this happened, but it was during their cutting season last year. I’m beginning to wonder if those plantings will come back, but I was also thinking that you might want to get word to them to NOT cut those plants next to the water around the edge of the retention pond for when they do grow back.

The crosswalk at E. Juniper and N. Taylor is almost totally gone. Approaching cars can’t see it, and therefore rarely stop for pedestrians. I see a lot of children use that crosswalk going to and from the nearby community center, as well as customers going to and from Carol’s Barber and Beauty Salon which is on that corner.
