The pedestrian lights are permanently red in all four directions. The lights turn green only for the cars. It is difficult enough getting through this intersection, without the drivers assuming that if your light is red you are never permitted to cross.
two buildings on the property look vacant and are crumbling. In the satellite pic you can even see the hole in the roof on the building on the left. The middle building looks like a hoard and I'm confident the owner doesn't live in it anymore. Last week the mailbox was knocked over, then trash was all over the yard. There are missing windows, visible trash inside from the road. The barrier around the middle trailer is now broken is several places, leaving the underside of the trailer open to neighborhood cats. I worry for the people living in the single viable traier.
Asphalt is very rough especially under the bridge
Trash all over this lot.
I am a teacher at Binford Elementary. I work with a student who lives in this home. While over winter break, our school skills development instructor went into the home. This individual stated there is a dog with a "visibly broken leg." When our skills instructor requested information on the dog, the family changed the subject. In the home are two parents, three sons and one daughter. All three sons have autism that result in physically abusive explosions. I am the teacher of the oldest son who is unhealthily obsessed with his cat. He makes disturbing comments about the cat and students have said he has made sexual advances towards the animal. I have never heard anything directly from this student about the advances, but he does make comments that are concerning about his love for the cat. The skills instructor stated the house was very messy and had a terrible odor from the inside, possibly due to the animals inside the home. I am unsure as to how many pets there are.
On Driscoll, there has been an orange lift parked on the yellow curb for past month. Been causing issue with traffic trying to turn east from walnut. Also cars continue to try and park on yellow. Please monitor this on a daily basis. I’ve waited because I figured the city would have said something but apparently not.
There's been a mattress dumped off there on the west side of North Adam's Street just before Fountain Drive. It's been there about 1 week.
#181580 original case number. Can I please get an update on this? If the lights were ever replaced, it did nothing to dim them since original install. Could we at least get shields on the lights to direct the light toward the street and not our house. It is ridiculous to be able to read a book at midnight in the backyard with ease. Nuisance Lights: Other: The street lights need to be reangled or shielded so the light shines only onto the intersection and stops blinding the houses at the intersection. The light on the southwest corner is particularly bad due to the height of the land and the angle of the light. We issued several complaints when the intersection was re-done and nothing has ever been done. The light pollution is terrible at this intersection and there is no reason it should be brighter than even Walnut and Winslow. Please install light shields to angle the lighting properly.
All the light posts along E Cottage Grove Ave stretching from the start of the road near Woodlawn Ave to Indiana Ave the light posts are defective radiating a blue/purple light that is not safe when it’s a block from a big ten campus. It actually makes it more eerie and more difficult to see when walking at night. Please replace these immediately, it’s a safety hazard.
