Sidewalk crushed and depressed from heavy equipment traversing it multiple times over past 10 years. Causes water puddles and mud on sidewalk during a d after rains. That forced pedestrians to walk on roadway's shoulder, endangering the pedestrian and passing vehicles.

The reduced speed school zone along Old Highway 431 for Hampton Cove Elementary and Middle Schools during activated morning period is frequently ignored or violated by drivers. Many westbound drivers slow from 55 to 45 mph, obeying the flashing yellow lights when activated, but once past the Audobon Lane intersection, roughly only 1/3 of the speed zone's length, reaccelerate either through a green traffic light, or accelerate to highway speed after a red light changes to green. An additional school zone flashing yellow light should be placed to remind westbound drivers it is still a school zone west of Audobon Lane.

Lighted continuously for several months.
Pole is visibly not plumb (i.e., leaning), and light fixture is crookedly mounted.

Light pole is visibly not plumb/leaning, and light fixture is crookedly mounted (possible by having been struck, blown by wind if mounting hardware is loose).

Vehicle speed detection and lighted display sign not operating. This has been so for several months.

Two trees entangled, fell across Eastern Bypass greenway pave pathe. Path is half blocked. Occurred about a month ago.

At the rear of the property, sections of sidewalk along Little Cove Rd are completely blocked by overgrown shrubs and very low hanging tree branches, consequently preventing pedestrians from using the sidewalk, and rather forcing pedestrian traffic toward or into Little Cove Rd street.

Sections of sidewalk completely or significantly blocked by overgrown shrubs and very low hanging tree branches, consequently preventing pedestrians from using the sidewalk, and rather forcing pedestrian traffic toward or into Little Cove Rd street.

Three summers ago the 25 MPH speed limit sign on the eastbound side of Little Cove Rd located about 50 yards east of Ripple Ln was knocked down (perhaps by a large grass mower). It remained along side of the road for a couple of months, but was never re-erected or replaced, but presumable should have been. Request replacement to inform drivers unfamiliar with the area, that despite the yellow-striped road, the speed limit is still 25 MPH.

2200-2400 Little Cove Rd (i.e., east of Ripple Ln to nearly Wenzel Cir) the public sidewalk is significantly overgrown which may discourage pedestrians and youth bicyclists from using the sidewalk, and encourage the use of the shoulderless, two-lane roadway creating hazards for them and for vehicle drivers.

Brahan Spring Park football goalpost broken and posing injury risk — low-hanging pipe, and pipe end with sharp edge. Condition has existed unresolved for at least a month.

About three months ago the 50 mph speed limit sign on southbound Governors Dr shortly past Parkhill Rd disappeared. That sign signified the increase in speed limit from 45 mph. Presumably the speed limit from that point past the crest of the hill remains 50 mph -- the paralleling northbound (towards Huntsville) lane's posted limit remains 50 mph. If the speed limit remains 50 mph, then the sign should be replaced; if it changed to be a continuance of 45 mph, then a sign indicating that would be helpful to ensure drivers frequenting the area do not assume the limit is higher.

Deer on shoulder of northbound lane several days (as of approximately 7:45 AM 12/2/2015.

Twelvestones and Cobblestone area of Hampton Cove.

In the distance of about 350 feet, traveling westbound, drivers encounter multiple different speed limit signs -- consecutively 45 mph, 55 mph, and 35 mph.
Given the multiple intersections and traffic congestion from Audobon Ln to US 431, it seems the prudent speed limit should be 45 mph.

Possible water main break. Streaming water from grennway path across roadway.

The reduced speed school zone along Old Highway 431 for Hampton Cove Elementary and Middle Schools during activated morning period is frequently ignored and violated by drivers. Many westbound drivers slow from 55 to 45 mph from the flashing yellow lights when activated, but once past Audobon Lane intersection, roughly only 1/3 of the speed zone's length, reaccelerate. Additional signage reminding drivers it is still a school zone west of Audobon Lane may be helpful. Rigorous enforcement by Huntsville Police Department would be more helpful to ensure the intended safe speed of 35 mph is adhered to during zone activation periods.
