Ever since the city installed curb bump-outs for on-street parking some years ago, drivers have been blowing out tires and ruining wheel hubs at the southeast corner of Maxwell Lane and South Fess, usually as they are driving south on Fess and turning east onto Maxwell. I know this issue has come up before, and various solutions have been tried, but something more substantive needs to happen -- either reduce the projection of the curb or get rid of the bump-out altogether. I would estimate 15-20 drivers a year hit this curb. Yesterday, it happened twice. One driver was lucky and just blew out a tire. The second had to call a tow truck, which we see over and over again. Each driver thinks he/she is the only one to do this, so they don't think to tell the city. Please do something to fix this problem. It's costing people time and money on a regular basis. Thanks!
Garbage scattered all over front and back yard
Excessive growth in front and back of property
multiple empty lots on summitt st between 11th and cottage grove being used as encampment...massive garbage piles spilling out into street, fires burning in woods hazard to surrounding woods and homes catching fire
As you may know, the cable installers are back at work in the Winslow Farms neighborhood (after leaving it uncompleted for well over a year), and they are inflicting significant damage on properties. We came home to find piles of dirt and rock, a new ground box not flush with the ground, and significant damage far up into our lawn from their boring machine--way beyond the utility easement. Further, their work is damaging sidewalks-both cracking the concrete and pushing it up to create tripping hazards. They were rude to our neighbor who confronted them about these issues. Further, they indicated that they were going to trench back between the houses on Azalea, across the conservancy area, to Bayberry. I would like to talk with someone from the city about this excessive damage, how far back onto our property they are allowed to bring their construction equipment before it becomes trespassing, what is an acceptable expectation/timeline for repairs to our lawn, and what sort of plans they may have for trenching back between our houses and across a conservancy area. They posted announcements of their work AFTER they began and a neighbor complained. Please contact me when you can to discuss the ongoing damage this company is doing to our properties and neighborhood.

Needs "Cross traffic does not stop" or "Cross traffic stops only for pedestrians" signs below stop signs facing East and West on 4th st. Too many accidents and multiple daily near-misses. The insurance companies love this intersection but I hate it and all of the problems it makes for so many people. I understand the need for hybrid intersections that allow for both pedestrian right-of-way and heavy flow of traffic but the improvements that have been made are not enough. There are significantly less incidents between motorists and pedestrians but as many if not more actual car crashes. Most if not all of the accidents are caused by motorists crossing 4th st assuming they are moving through a 4-way stop if they are completely unfamiliar with that intersection. This can be averted almost always with "Cross Traffic" signage. Please act on this soon.
