  • Highway 16 And I-85 Charlotte, North Carolina - Thomasboro-Hoskins
    Panhandlers consistently hang out in the medians of this intersection. This is dangerous for them, and dangerous for motorists, particularly after dark. I saw someone almost get hit while leaving the median just last night. Is there a law against this activity? They wouldn't do it if they weren't successful, but I'm hoping Law Enforcement can keep them off, I don't want to be embroiled in some legal entanglement because I accidentally hit someone who shouldn't be there in first place.
  • Iverson Way Charlotte, NC 28203, USA - Dilworth
    This is a tad nitpicky, but I have no idea where to send it. There are some street trees that were installed along Iverson Way a few years ago upon completion of a sidewalk installation by the DOT or the city or county. The job was done beautifully, and the street trees add a lot to the neighborhood. The company that installed them placed anchor straps that are typically removed after the first year once the roots are established. If left in place, they can do damage to the trees. These have not been removed, and I don't know who's responsible. It's not a big job, and I'd be happy to remove them myself, but I don't know that I can legally do that. Can you help figure out who's supposed to remove these straps?
