Concern Regarding Unusual Activity and Property Conditions Next to My Business Dear City Official, Good Morning, I am reaching out to express my concern about some recent developments at the property located next to my business at 811 N Walnut St. Since new residents moved in, there has been a noticeable increase in unusual activity that is negatively impacting the appearance and environment around my business. Specifically, the residents have been leaving trash overflowing into the alley, some of which is spilling over onto my property. This not only creates a messy and unsanitary environment but also makes a poor impression on my clients as they arrive at my business. Additionally, there are two cars at the property: one that does not appear to be running and another that is frequently being worked on. There are also cars frequently pulling up in the alley, where individuals from the house briefly interact with the vehicles before returning inside. The overall condition of the property and the ongoing activity is concerning, and I would appreciate your assistance in addressing this issue. As a business owner, it is important to me that the surrounding environment reflects positively on the area, and I believe this situation is detracting from that. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.

Around 8:10pm on Tues., 10/8/24 there were several cars parked in the left turn lane on Atwater, just west of Woodlawn. Most cars were running with lights in, perhaps waiting to pick someone up? I had heard this is happening frequently in that location, but had not encountered it until tonight.

I live at 117 S.Heritage Rd in Park Ridge area. To avoid risk to crash into the vehicles parked on Heritage Rd, I turned into Morningside from 3rd street, then Park Lane, meadow brook, back to Morningside then into Heritage. When the time I turned into Morningside, it’s like from a bright hallway into a dark theater. Once I almost turn into the grass area. The street lights in Park Ridge area are old fashioned. The ones in Park Ridge East with low warm light are much better. The area I passed are all dark even with people’s own light, hard for drivers to see people walking their dogs in the night.

My water bill is charging us for over 33k gallons of water used last month which did not happen. We had maintenance check for leaks and they saw nothing so we believe there is an issue with the meter

If you are traveling west on 17th street, the light at Walnut street is only green and allows only 4 or 5 cars to get through the intersection before it turns red. This backs up traffic and has been like this for months. Can you resolve this issue.

Renters here have way more trash every week than will fit in the small trash can/cart they have. Bags of trash left on the driveway beside can/cart. Why are they not required to get a bigger cart? Animals will get into trash and scatter it. They don't take the cart back to the house for several days also.

Was walking to the parking garage after class and when I came into the stairwell two homeless people were at the bottom of the steps. One had a needle in her hand getting ready to shoot whatever she had and the other man sitting watch. This situation is extremely dangerous and not right for the public to see just going to class. Please get your shit together
