NCDOT Lawn Maintenance in Huntersville, NC

This is an active city bus stop on Sam Furr Road near Interstate 77 across from the Whole Foods store in Huntersville, NC.  I personally emailed and left a voicemail to the Town of Huntersville, NC on Monday, May 11, 2015 requesting that this high grass is cut as soon as possible.

Thank you C.A.T.S.!!!! 

The Transit service actual cut some of the grass around the actual bus stop sign. 

Thank you pedestrians!!!  

Actual human foot traffic down from the sidewalk has formed a path through the high grass to get to the bus stop sign.

 The town of Huntersville says that NC DOT maintains this stretch of road.  So when is NC DOT (Department of Transportation) going to finish mowing the lawn????  It's been five days since I submitted a formal maintenance request, and the grass still has not been cut.

This picture references the bus stop in the distance to the left, and the Bob Evans sign in the distance to the right.  The grass surrounding the bus stop area is approaching 3 feet tall. Clearly, it has not been mowed in over a month.

 The grass down from the BB&T bank is being mowed, but can pedestrians get the right a way on the sidewalk again?  This bush has taken over the sidewalk.  Pedestrians can not walk through the bush, and the bush is not mobile.  Any thoughts? Can we get the bush cut to free up the sidewalk along with the getting the grass cut?

 Pictured is the same bus stop on Sam Furr Road from a top view.  Can someone on the city or state payroll please cut the grass?  It is going on one week since I have complained, and I was told that the NC DOT was forwarded the maintenance request.  How long is it going to take to get this past due lawn maintenance request completed?

Pictured is the other side of that overgrown bush along with the high grass off Sam Furr Road and Interstate 77.  Some parts of this sidewalk is also collapsing.  Can we get the sidewalk repaired too?

LET US SEE HOW SOON WE CAN GET 

the Grass Mowed in Huntersville, NC . . .  

so far, we are on week #2!

Use the CATS Village Rider to lose weight and save money!

For seventy (70) cents, you can get from the Lake Norman area to the NorthLake mall. Upon arrival at the NorthLake Mall bus stop, you will have a 10 minute walk ahead and a two story mall to walk around and shop in.

If you need to visit a bank, a cellular phone store, a dollar" store or even a "SuperTarget" discount store, then you are still within a 10 minute walk to all of those places of interest.

So you are worried about time? Here is a simple $1.40 round trip that consumes about 3 hours of your time in order to eat, exercise, and run errands:

7:45 am Catch Village Rider Route 98 for seventy cents and obtain a transfer ticket.

8:00 am Exit the bus at the Food Lion shopping center and walk over to Hardee's restaurant for breakfast.

8:30 am Use your transfer ticket to catch the Village Rider Route 99 outside of Hardee's.

8:50 am Exit the bus at NorthLake Mall, Walk to BB&T to bank, Walk to SuperTarget for miscellaneous lightweight supplies.

9:45 am Finish up all area shopping and walk back to NorthLake Mall bus stop.

10:00 am Catch the Village Rider 99 for seventy cents and obtain a transfer ticket.

10:30 am Use your transfer ticket to catch the Village Rider 98 back to your original pickup location.

Not a bad deal for under $2.00! Just don't forget to wear sneakers and take a small umbrella!

The CATS Village Rider bus also runs pass the Presbyterian Huntersville Hospital as well as the Carolinas Healthcare System Urgent Care. So if you are in need of non-life threatening medical attention or just need a regular medical check-up, transportation is near. I believe that the Hospital offers a one day bus pass for those who are admitted via ambulance and are released within the same day.

I was always told to secure housing on a bus line or a public transportation route. You never know when your vehicle may break down or when gasoline prices may become unaffordable.

The CATS Village Riders service the cities of Davidson, Cornelius and Huntersville. The regular riders consists of people going to work, grocery shopping, or just retired and need a change of scenery. It is the "country club" of "bus rides."

If you live in the Lake Norman area, have 1 to 3 hours to spare, and could use some exercise, then consider making your next trip a "public transportation" outing.
