Broken Support Cable for Power Pole Open

39 Avenue B Mechanicville, New York - Saratoga County

At the rear of 39 Avenue B, between Avenue B and C, the power pole with the meters on it has a broken guide wire and a tree that has grown into, and is making contact with the primary and secondary power lines. The tree growth may have caused the guide wire to break. It has been overgrown for many years. Just noticed this on Sunday.

over ground trees Open

Salem Dr Ballston Spa, NY - Ballston Spa

Corner of Salem Drive and Northline. As you are pulling out of Salem Drive, the trees on the left side of Northline are over ground and you can not see who's coming around the bend. Mostly are poison sumac trees. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

  Why is there even a homeless problem in Saratoga Springs?
  The illegals don't seem to be hurting.
  They always have food stamps and housing and clean clothes.
  So, why does Saratoga Springs,N.Y. have ANYONE living on the streets?

  As someone on the "system", I can tell you it is no picnic, and were it not for a lot of hard work, yes work, and sacrafice, and luck, I would be there, or in the ground.
  
  What upsets me most is that the "system" is set up to work against people with drinking problems, or drug problems, but not against people with other addictions, like gambling, or smoking.
  
  When I was in a govt subsidised building, almost everyone smoked. At 10.00 a pack, and 2 to 3 packs a day, and I knew how much everyone got, the same as me, I could understand why no one had food, or a phone, or electricity most of the time.
  
  Treatment for these addictions is critical to fixing the problem, and once you have people who are clean, no drugs, no booze, no cigaretes, no lotto tickets, then you need to move them to other housing, where they will not be around those bad influences.
  
  Right now the only place for most of these people IS on the street. Rent is 750 a month, and if you are working a regular job, making 10 an hour, that is more than half your take home income. Then you add in the cost of gas, and electric, and food, and you are living on pennies a day, literally.
  
  Saratoga has 2 racetracks and soon to be 2 casinso. I have worked at the track, and it is a horrible place. No good comes from it. When you live in a place with that much gambling, and you see the facade of the high end stores and resturants, and then you see homeless, you have to put 2 and 2 together.
  
  They are not seperate problems.

  Agreed! Can a speed hump be installed? Or perhaps a stop sign somewhere between Broadway and Five Points would help?

Dangerous Intersection Open

1 Gilbert Rd Saratoga Springs, NY 12866, USA - Saratoga Springs

This intersection should have a traffic signal tied to the existing traffic signal or the Gilbert Road should be diverted to the oppsite side of the Stewart's shop so creates a
standard 4 way intersection with a single traffic light.

  The road behind Stewart's is private property, it would have to be designated public domaine. Another circle would not be the answer. We have way too many on route 9 and there are many people who get confused and cannot navigate them properly. The simplest and cheapest way is to add another light and sync it to the one on the corner of Lake and Wibel.
  Let's get it done already!!!

  This is an example of why our current form of government does not work. The commissioners are only in office for 2 year terms. They can avoid having to make any long term investment and just maintain the status quo. I do not think that even a major accident will spur them into action. They are not invested in the long haul. We need government officials that think beyond their term or we need to change the form of government.

  I had another near miss at this intersection last week. Even knowing it a bad spot people pull out onto Route 29 right in front of you. They have no choice or they would be sitting on Wiibel Ave. forever waiting for a break in traffic. Fix This Now! With all the new construction in the area the problem is getting worst.

Construction Lane Striping Faded Open

422-424 Broadway Saratoga Springs, NY 12866, USA - Saratoga Springs

The construction lane striping is badly faded in front of Lillians. Southbound right lane vehicles are forcing left lane traffic directly into northbound lane. I witnessed it twice in the past 3 days. There is a high risk of serious accident at this location because of the poor condition of road markings here.

Proper solution for Gilbert Open

Gilbert Rd & 29 Saratoga Springs, NY - Saratoga Springs

Any solution will cost money so why not do it right? Re-route Gilbert behind Stewarts to meet 29 directly across from Weibel. Then you are not forever messing with double traffic lights or a huge roundabout.

Chaotic four way stop. Open

Intersection Of Circular. Nelson And High Rock. St Saratoga Springs, NY 12866, USA - Saratoga Springs

This problem occurs at the four way stop where Circular St. and Nelson Ave. terminate at High Rock Ave. Granted it's an odd configuration. The problem I often encounter is trying to turn left from High Rock onto Nelson when driving toward downtown. Drivers coming down Circular turning right on High Rock seem to think they always have the right of way. This results in many close calls for those turning onto Nelson when it is that drivers turn to go. Short of installing traffic lights at this intersection I believe signage on Circular warning drivers that cars may be turning left onto Nelson in front of them might help this situation. Other solutions might include better enforcement of traffic rules by the police or as a last resort solution making Nelson Ave one way eliminating that turn option.
