Lights on Chestnut near Erlanger Park
You don’t have to agree and won’t:
You mean the city couldn’t have put street lights on Chestnut coming from Erlanger Park? It’s dark. If not for the sheriff office lights, it’d be completely dark. No one wants to walk near that old U.S. Pipe building…I mean people do and I don’t want to breathe in foundry dust. And then you gotta cross high speed traffic on Riverfront.
Like idk. I keep forgetting Chattanooga is car dependent asf. Even the areas that should be pedestrian friendly are only up until you get out from underneath the “foundries district “ banner. And idk why we’d be honoring foundries that literally polluted the land to such an extent that it’s gotta be remediated with environmental covenants and concrete caps between the ppl and the pollution.
For Finely stadium to be right across the street, this should be the best pedestrian areas in the whole city. Idk this city does this so often, drops an idea and only sees it through to a certain point and that’s almost all of South Broad atp. Almost all S. Broad is just random city projects….just a trail of random projects. Broad Street intersection too busy for pedestrians to be crossing at night too.
Nobody trying to be walking through the scariest part of the riverwalk at night to avoid getting hit by a high speeding car coming off riverwalk. Cause isn’t that part where it goes underneath those overpasses next to the railroad tracks and then back there in the vines etc??? And then you hit that left???? It’s scary asf back there on foot. Idk. This remains a point of frustration. It’s suppose to be for everyone and like almost everything in Chattanooga…it’s only for certain folks…folks w/ cars, folks with access, etc.
- City of Chattanooga: Put some lights on that street, ASAP.
- What about all that dust on the sidewalk in front of U.S. pipe, is that foundry dust, what are we breathing in? It’s creepy asf. Do something about those bushes.
- Why those workers getting paid $7.25 an hour??????????? That’s all yall could give these folks was $7.25???? At Erlanger park?????
If it’s off taxpayers dollars, it should’ve been top dollar pay….thats just me though. - What about people who walking and gotta cross Riverside drive with high speeding cars?????
- We got accessibility problems real bad.
