  This is actually a reoccurring sinkhole problem. It was fixed for the past few months but is starting to sag yet again

Tree on the tennis court again Archived

8729-8799 1st Ave Silver Spring, MD - Silver Spring

A tree has fallen on the tennis court at Woodside Park, damaging the tennis court fence again (I believe this may be the remaining half of the tree that fell during the derecho storm months ago). This time it was due to Hurricane Sandy.

  The tree was removed less than an hour ago. However, the tennis court's fence will need to be repaired at some point (the corner is leaning at an angle).

One tree totally down; one partially down Archived

8729-8799 1st Ave Silver Spring, MD - Silver Spring

There are two trees by Woodside Park: one is totally down, and is fallen across the tennis court gate; the other is right near it, having partially been downed. Both occurred during the storms a week ago. While the tennis court tree hasn't impeded use of the court, it is a reminder of the last major storm which did the same thing. Luckily, the damage isn't as bad this time around.

  My mistake - this is actually all one tree, but two of the huge major branches are down. I can't tell how long the rest of the tree will stay up.

Rotten, hollowed out tree Archived

8732 1st Ave Silver Spring, MD - Silver Spring

A tree right along the roadway has many rotten spots and seems like it has pretty much become hollow on the inside. It sure feels like it may come down in the near future. If it does come down, it will probably fall across 1st Ave. It should be removed sooner rather than waiting until a storm knocks it down.

  While the tree is still up, the county did come, look at it, agreed with the assessment and marked the tree for removal at sometime in the future.

Discontinued streetlight Archived

8315 Piney Branch Rd. Silver Spring, Maryland - Silver Spring

The streetlight originally between 8315 and 8317 Piney Branch Rd. but on the opposite side of the street has been taken down creating a hazardously dark condition at night for both pedesdrians and vehicles. My several reports have gone unheeded.

  Does Silver Spring Regional Center cover lights?
  If not let us know who should receive the alert.

Need Green Arrow Archived

Flower Ave And Piney Branch Road Silver Spring, MD - Silver Spring

There needs to be a green arrow for traffic turning left onto Piney Branch Road from Flower Branch Ave. This route is very busy, and during rush hour, only one or two cars make it through the light per cycle. There are typically 15 cars in queue. This means that some cars have to wait through three or four cycles... and each cycle is very long.

Roadside litter, debris from tree trimming Open

Silver Spring, MD - Silver Spring

On both sides of University Avenue between Inwood Av and Sligo Creek Pkwy there is much litter and downed branches and tree trunks. It is a horrible mess.

  No, this has not been fixed. I drive by this area several times a week and see the same debris: paper, plastic, branches, sawed-down trees, etc., etc.
  
  Why should anyone make a complaint on anything if you are no more effective than on this issue?

Rough & poor pothole repair Open

Garland Ave. Takoma Park, MD - Silver Spring

Garland Ave. between Piney Branch and Carroll Ave. is in abominable condition. It is extremely rough from poor pothole repairs, has large potholes, and due to the parking along the street is so narrow it is difficult to avoid the hazardous potholes. Additionally, the visibility at some of the turns on this street is nonexistant. At Hudson Ave. for instance, bamboo blocks ones ability to see if one can make the turn safely.
