A resident reported an overgrowth of weeds on Madison Street just north of 11th, over the bridge. Weeds are encroaching on the sidewalk which affects accessibility of the path. Duke has already been contacted and has taken care of their share of the weeds.
The storm pipe/drain does not appear to have sufficient capacity to handle flash flood events. Storm water from the neighborhood overflowed from the street, and then flowed across the neighbor's driveway and down the slope into our property, flooding our crawl space. Last night there was literally a small river of water running aside and into our house, moving so fast that I could not safely walk outside until the rain subsided. We need an engineer to evaluate the current drainage system, in particular the capacity of the storm pipe and culvert that runs directly between our property and the neighbor's. We can make some mitigating improvements on our own property, but we really are not equipped to handle the sheer volume of stormwater from the entire neighborhood during very heavy periods of rain like we saw last night. I took some videos during the flood that we can send as well.

There are two vehicles that are routinely parked the wrong way on W. 6th Street. This has been going on for months. Both are on the wrong side of the street facing west. One is a white pickup truck which is always parked in front of 927 W 6th. The other is a dark colored Ford parked 3-4 nights a week in front of the apartment house at 6th and Fairview. I live on this street and neither driver seems to have any mobility issues that would make it hard for them limit to walk a few extra feet.

3 signs close together at the corner of Rogers and Second Street: Bio-Life, S.O. Industries and something Limestone.
Another S.O Industries sign was seen on Thursday at the corner of 4th and Rogers.
NW corner of College Mall Road and Covenanter. This one is a bit unusual in that it has a wooden stake to hold the sign: We Buy Houses. Another one of the same sort is at the corner of the Five Guys restaurant and the entrance to the Kroger Parking lot.
