No Crosswalk signes for Pedestrians Open

10628 Park Road Charlotte, NC - Pineville

In the intersection of Park Road and 51 there is no crosswalk lightes, there is a bus line but you can't cross walking in that intersection. I have seen a lot of people crossing it risking their lifes of making traffic because they don't have a way to cross it.

Water leaking out cracks in the road and breaking my drive way Open

11603 Fox Trot Drive Charlotte NC 28269 - Davis Lake-Eastfield

**The leaking water main has been repaired and water is no longer coming up through cracks in the street. However, the broken pavement in the street and my driveway have not been fixed.

For many months water has been leaking from my neighbors water meter box. the city kept saying it wasn'y their issue. They finaly agreed it is there issue. In the mean time, the leak has been causing the street to crack. water is coming out of the cracks in the street and has started cracking and heaving my driveway. Thuis has been reported to the City repeatedly. The City did some marking of the pavement and lawns a couple moinths ago, but havn't fixed anything. The attached image is one of many.

Pedestrian Crosswalk Open

1920 Selwyn Avenue Charlotte, NC 28207, USA - Myers Park

I am a student here at Queens University of Charlotte, and I use the crosswalk to get to my class and the parking lot were I park, I know that there is a yellow caution light button that we can push to slow traffic when crossing, but there a problem people do not stop when students are crossing the street. When a student or myself pushes the button cars just run through the light and sometimes students or morning runners would have to wait until there is no one there before we could cross. At one time a person got hit at the crosswalk because a car didn't stop. There is a sign (two of them) in the middle of the road that is bright yellow that states :State Law Must yield to pedestrains, but not everyone does. Another thing that the parking on the side of the road is a reason why traffic needs to stop at the caution light. When you have SUV or trucks that are parked on the right side of the road, students and runners are not able to see if there are car coming or not, believe it or not people are not going the speed limited and that is a danger to us as well. I would like to see a RED stop light there so that when students or runners push that button drivers will know you need to STOP, not slow down or keep going, but STOP. I hope that you can look into this problem and fix it, just before writing this letter to you I almost got hit this morning because I thought this car was going to stop and he didn't along with three other cars and a city trash truck. Please help the students at Queens.

Crosswalk Needed from Thornblade to Squirrel Lake Park Open

1638-1650 Pleasant Plains Rd Matthews, NC 28105, USA - Matthews

This is a state maintained road. Numerous children and adults cross here daily, since the park is directly across the street. This intersection has become more dangerous since the greenway has opened up. There is a curve in the road and it is impossible to see if there is traffic coming until you are fully in the road. I hope the NCDOT/Town will consider this.

Pedestrian traffic light needed Archived

Trade Street And Matthews Street MATTHEWS, NC - Matthews

Corner of Matthews Street. The cross streets are Sam Newell Rd/ Trade Street. There are painted crosswalks, but pedestrians do not have a view of the traffic lights. Hence, it is dangerous to cross at this intersection.

Crosswalk needed Archived

3220 Weddington Rd Matthews, NC 28105, USA - Charlotte

When the McKee Farms development was built, sidewalks were installed along McKee Rd, BUT the crosswalks are not all in place. People walking east on McKee, do not have a crosswalk in place. It is very dangerous as one side has a completed crosswalk, but the other sides do not.

  I got a very surprising email from a viewer saying that Charlotte crews were at this intersection yesterday putting in a crosswalk. It's surprising because on May 11th Charlotte DOT informed us, and I quote, "The process may take 10 months to a year or longer." What changed? We're waiting for a response from CDOT's Communications & PR Manager. I'll keep you posted on what they say, since our job is to inform the public.
  
  Thanks for being our eyes and ears out there!

  Here's the response from Charlotte DOT. What do you think? Post your comments here or to cnelson@wbtv.com:
  
  "The crosswalks and pedestrian signals are being installed as part of CDOT’s improvement project for this intersection. Normally, it’s preferred all the work be done at the same time. However, in this case, the signals crew had an available work slot and so was able to fit the improvements into their schedule ahead of the rest of the work. But we’re still in the same 10 months – one year projected schedule for the sidewalk and wheelchair ramp installation which will complete the project."

  I'm sorry, this is complete nonsense. The other crosswalks and pedestrian signals have been there for TWO YEARS! They are not ahead of schedule, but far behind.
  
  We are thankful to have them in place.

Crosswalk and light needed Archived

10301 Monroe Rd Matthews, NC 28105, USA - Matthews

I am mobility challenged and use an electric wheelchair and CATS bus. My bus stop is in front of the Legacy Apts at Gander Cove Lane and Monroe Rd. in Matthews/Charlotte. There is no crosswalk or light for pedestrians and I have to wait until a car comes out of the apartments and trips the light before I can cross the road, and then the light is not long enough for me to safely finish crossing the street. Also there is not a sidewalk on the other side of the street from this intersection to just before Galleria Dr. I have to cross the street at Gander Cove and then cross the street again at Galleria, 1 block later. I have had several very close calls and am afraid of my safety when crossing this very busy road on a daily basis.

  @ pbowens. Thank you for your post. This is Christine Nelson with WBTV. I spoke with CDOT who manages that road. The immediate change they were able to make was adjust the timing on the light that signals traffic on Gander Cove Lane. The green light is longer to give pedestrians time to cross Monroe Road.
  
  Before taking any kind of step to put in a crosswalk they want to hear directly from pedestrians who use it. I would love to pass along their contact information to you if you can make the time to give them a phone call. This is an open invitation to others also (especially to the original poster of this thread who is disabled). Please email me directly at cnelson@wbtv.com so I can let you know who to contact.
  
  If you have other questions you can email me or call 704-374-3549.
  Thanks!
  Christine

Please Help keep our kids safe. Thank you

Railroad Tracks Open

1111 Cox Rd Gastonia, NC 28054, USA - Gastonia

These railroad tracks are the most terrible tracks I ever went over. When going over these tracks if you are unaware of how bumpy they are you can lose your whole undercarraige of your vehicle. You need to go very very slow about 2 to 5mph in order to keep you free of any damage.There are noo signs making you aware that you need to slow down. The worst part is that they are near a hospital, can you imagine going over these tracks in an abulance. Terrible, Dangerous Crossing tracks. Hopefully I will never have to go over them in an ambulance!

Now they causing a traffic jam by removing the turning lane going north adding a median which doesn't make any sense. The people that need to make a left turn will now be blocking the cars going straight because the right lane is a right turn only. Who thinks of these stupid moves....I will get the pictures real soon.

  These tracks are so bad that even an ambulance has to slow down to go over the tracks to get to the hospital, I would not want to be in that ambulance for a life threating incident and have to go over those tracks. They paved Cox Road but they didn't do anything with those tracks. Who does the road inspections, don't they see how bad these tracks are. I wish I had a video to show everyone how bad they are.

Desperate for a cross walk Open

11003 Travis Gulch Dr Charlotte, NC 28277, USA - Charlotte

Ardrey Kell is a busy and very high speed road where many many students cross here to go from AK high school into the neighborhood of Southampton and visa versa. There have been numerous close calls of kids getting hit. During the late fall, winter and spring months, these children are crossing this street in the dark going to school and cars do not see them !!! We need a cross walk here immediately!!

cross walk needed! Open

Intersection Of Travis Gulch And Ardrey Kell Road Charlotte NC 28277 - Ballantyne West

We live in a very large neighborhood (Southampton) across from Ardrey Kell High School. Each morning, the carpool lane extends along Ardrey Kell Road making it unsafe for students walking to school to cross - especially during non-daylight saving month. I would like to see a cross walk created on Ardrey Kell Road at the intersection of Travis Gulch Road. Let's keep our kids safe as they walk to school each day!

  What good will a cross walk do? People do not stop for pedestrians anymore. There are too many northerners down here and they dont stop for pedestrians up there. Trust me, I am from up there and moved down here to escape them all but they've seemed to have followed me. Ugh.

dangerous crossing Open

Ardrey Kell Rd Charlotte, NC 28277, USA - Charlotte

there is a large dip in the pavement crossing Audrey Kell Road with Lancaster highway. It has been ignored for months. You have to almost come to a complete stop in the middle of the road while crossing due to the un-even pavement otherwise you will damage your car.

need a stoplight/crosswalk/flashing light...SOMETHING Open

10300-10398 Shiv Dr Huntersville, NC 28078, USA - Huntersville

there needs to be a stoplight, crosswalk, or flashing light put up at this intersection and possibly reduce the speed back down to 35mph. a lot of car accidents have happened, as well as pedestrians being struck by cars. a man died back in november here trying to cross the street from the gas station. within the last month, a woman got hit by a car as well running across the street. between 4pm and 8pm it is a death wish to try and cross the street here. drivers do not pay attention and pedestrians stand at the corner a good 10 or 15 minutes before crossing.... and when they cross, it's still not the best time.
