My city is Winter Haven, Florida. I often travel to Lakeland, Hanes City, Davenport, Tampa.

We have an app to report things on but they don’t have enough people. Construction is everywhere for roads. The biggest issues I see in my city is inconsistent in sidewalks. They have it where trees elevate the side walks. They block it off but have yet to fix it. So you have to walk in the road. People block the cross walks. Half of the pedestrians lights don’t work. The City Council and Mayor are rude and don’t listen. My city is very cliche. “Religious people” So, I just stopped saying anything. Lack of action and accountability is the issue. But if police think you are suspicious they will stop you and say hey you were jay walking. But ya your signs don’t work. I stopped walking because they just don’t have any interest in fixing anything. If you have seen some of the people making sharp turns almost running you over you realize they don’t need a SUV, but to be walking with you. I am just worn on the double standards, and entrapment.
