Neighbors in South Roaonke Calendar Calendar

Submit your thoughts as a SoRo neighbor. SoRo Solutions: Celebrations & Clearings In an effort to improve our meetings as well as document the input of neighbors during and outside of meetings, NiSR invites you to send us your thoughts, whether it's a celebration or a clearing. A celebration: Exciting news from your family; a shout out for a job well done, a kind gesture, or a milestone reached; a chance to share good news! A clearing: A safety or security concern; an item you've reported to the appropriate city auth orities you want to make NiSR aware of; a chance to keep neighbors informed; a good ol' fashioned complaint. Anonym o us submissions will not be rev iewed or maintaine d. Do not submit any item related to crime or criminal activity. Please contact the Roanoke City Police Department directly. In cases of emergencies, call 911. In NON-emergencies, call (540) 853-2411. Online Submission Form Printable Submission Form Celebrations & Clearings Submitted to NiSR solutionssubmissions A Clearing Submitted on November 19, 2024 Pedestrian and bicycle crossings between SORO and Rivers Edge/VTC. This morning I was almost hit by a car speeding along Wiley Dr while I was crossing it the way to the Riverside cluster This is not an isolated incident as it has also happened crossing McClanahan and Evans Mill and Reserve Ave. With Carilion adding more staff and more parking spaces while at the same time re-routing traffic off Jefferson ST, traffic along these feeder roads has become increasingly speedier and aggressive. Carilion certainly has a responsibility for helping ameliorate this problem, but we also know that the City pays attention to its formal neighborhood organizations. I would like to request that NiSR make a formal organizational request to the City (and to Carilion) that the situation has become very dangerous and steps be taken to ameliorate the danger. These could be lowered speed limits, speed reducing measures (e.g speed shoulders), better and more visible crosswalks- with lighted pedestrian signals - and more traffic enforcement. It is only a matter of time before a predictable tragedy occurs along this corridor. A Clearing Submitted on August 25, 2024 I submitted a request to the city to address the lack of visibility at the corner of Avenham & Wildwood including a stop sign and crosswalk markings as this is a school bus stop on both N/S bound). A Clearing Submitted on May 21, 2024 Be extremely cautious at the new four-way stop intersections on Avenham Ave. at 26th and 27 Streets. Many motorists are not yet accustomed to the new traffic pattern and running the stops on Avenham. A Celebration Submitted on March 12, 2024 I am so glad that spring is here, and we can once again have "PLAWKING" events (walking/socializing with neighbors, making new connections, picking up trash to beautify our area, and then post-PLAWK socializing at Fork! First one is 3/14/23 at 5:30 - meet at Fork. Supplies are provided. View More
