Report It! Newport Neighbor

Traffic calming efforts (speed bump, police etc.) needed between Channing and Broadway on Malbone Rd.

whats setback for stonewall - this seems too short for safety for walker runners

Intersection of Tilden Ave and Appleby Street has no STOP sign or pavement markings for motorists to stop completely there. There is a stop sign at Farwell and Appleby with pavement markings. As Appleby is supposed to be a 2 way Street according to every traffic map I have found, this needs to be addressed. This was brought to my attention by my Physical Therapist who avoided being hit by a vehicle on May 2nd. Thank you!

crosswalk sign falling over

Location: Memorial Boulevard, East bound past Easton's beach, the merge at the end of Memorial. May I suggest moving the " Lane ends, merge right" sign to the median and back at least a hundred yards and a "reminder sign" a little closer to the merge?
The sign is currently on the beach side of the road and too easy to miss. It causes aggressive merging as most drivers assume the right lane merges to the left. I have seen many instances of people forcing their way in, which is dangerous, causes congestion and road rage.

Thank you, Jorgen Nieuwhoff, 19 year resident of Newport.

Dear Newport Report it Team,

for almost a year, if not longer, the railing on the Van-Zandt-Avenue Bridge towards intersection with 3. Street has missing metal bars. Our child is 39 inches high and could easily slip through and fall several feet down into the cemetery, if we don't hold her hand and don't look for a split second. Other metal bars are so rusty, that they will break sooner or later too. Can you please send someone to take a look at this? It is potentially dangerous for all kinds of persons or even pets. Thank you so much in advance.

Kind regards,

a concerned Newporter.

Hole in sidewalk. Significant safety issue due to poor water main repair patched paving on Dearborn Street. Multiple other examples on Dearborn sidewalk and road of similar issues. At a minimum please highlight with orange spray paint until repaving is done.

Significant safety issue due to poor water main repair patched paving on Dearborn Street. I fell while walking on the crosswalk here from a large depression in walkway. Multiple other examples on Dearborn sidewalk and road of similar issues. At a minimum please highlight with orange spray paint until repaving is done.

Thank you for fixing up this intersection, it is much improved. However, a very serious, yet easily fixable safety issue is present for pedestrians crossing Farewell street. The walk signal activates at the same time as Van Zandt has a green light and twice recently, I and my family have had close calls with motorists. Considering the short duration of the walk signal, would it be possible to keep all traffic standing while pedestrians cross? Thanks for considering this request.

Likely abandoned vehicle. This van is parked right next to the Vernon Park tennis court and has not been moved for months. Given its registration expired in March of 2023, I don't think it's allowed to be parked on city streets regardless of the length of time.

Employee with Gas powered leaf blower(Alledge AML employee not wearing ear protection or respiratory protection) at. 142 Van Zandt apartment bldg. blowing grass clippings and debris into the street. Litter?? Safety issue for bicyclist and cars... observed ALOT of clippings on the sidewalk. A professional landscaper non "clock milker". "Scamscaper". would cut the grass away from the sidewalk. Inefficiency wasting Gas. Noise for $$$ SCAMMER....
