A pedestrian bridge over I-264 along Independence Blvd. is years overdue. Pedestrians and bicyclists do not have safe or practical passage along Independence Blvd. under I-264.
Consider the following:
Pedestrian traffic is prohibited under I-264 along the north bound lanes of Independence Blvd from South Blvd to Bonney Road and it is unsafe for bicycle traffic.
Pedestrian and bicycle traffic is not advisable under I-264 along the south bound lanes of Independence Blvd from Euclid Road to Baxter Road. The way through is flooded with stagnant water and debris.
There are no other practical and safe routes for pedestrians and bicycles to reach either side of I-264 along Independence Blvd.
Having to wait for a HRT bus to travel less than a mile is time consuming.
Pedestrians from hundreds of housing units off Baxter Road, Alicia Drive, and Wicklow Place and the general public need safe passage to the north side of I-264 to the Town Center vicinity and beyond.
Pedestrians from the Town Center vicinity need safe passage to the south side of I-264 and beyond.
Connect pedestrians from Town Center vicinity to Mount Trashmore.
Pedestrians will need access to the proposed Light Rail station at Town Center.

My street and the street that intersects my street (S. Plaza Tr) floods extremely often throughout the year in a hard rain. It flooded during Hurricane Matthew it had 4-5 ft of water. After we moved back in to our home in January, it flooded again a little. The drains run slow. There are 3 - 4 storm drains in our intersection. I would like the City to come by and inspect the drains to see if there is a blockage and if there is, to please clean it out. Thank you!

Road is flooded again. And it is NOT due to "erosion and sediment controls" or whatever the city is claiming the issue is. It's been flooding here for decades before the stupid construction started and made it worse. When speaking to some people on site with the road crews this morning they are saying that no one knows why, themselves included. So to say it's "due to erosion and sediment controls" is an outright lie. I'll spare everyone a current pic and attach one from the street being flooded before the construction ever started.... You're right! Must be from those "sediment and erosion controls" that weren't even in place at the time.

After they paved this last time, there is a hump in the left lane as you turn to go over Salem Road. Riding a motorcycle this is a very dangerous hump. It upsets the bike while you are turning. This did not exist before the last paving job.

The storm water drainage-ditch next to Providence Road is in desperate need of flood control and drainage service. This critical road provides traffic relief from busy Princess Anne Road. In addition, this vital side street supports the areas first responders (Police, Fire, and Ambulances), school buses and provides access to numerous residential neighborhoods and homes. Over the years, an accumulation of vegetation and sediment has created a situation where proper storm water drainage is negatively impacted and compromises motorist and residents safety. Routinely under periods of heavy rainfall, the bend in Providence Road between Selwood Drive and Birks Lane has water running over the roadway surface.

Request for service includes excavation of the storm water drainage-ditch to effectively remove vegetation and years of sediment build-up. In turn, the excavated area will be better equipped to deal with the storm water by safely directing the flow of water into the North Landing River instead of over Providence Road.
