Utilities Department sprayed unknown "pre-treat" chemical on storm water rain garden on Allen St. No notice to adjacent property owners was made. No signage. No posting of what was used. When I confronted them they said it was "not bad". Samuel Arthur, Green Infrastructure Crew" was onsite. Please consult other City departments that do NOT treat with chemicals and manage gardens just fine.
A tree was downed on Wednesday due to the high winds. It has also taken down cables from the neighboring apartment building - which may hazardous. Additionally, the fallen limb is blocking both sidewalk area and private parking.
2 Storm drains full of sand
There's a hole in the road next to the sidewalk, just South of the intersection of Lincoln & Wilson Streets, on the West side of the street. It's been there since the crew was installing cable a couple of months ago. It's a hazard!
Turn my water on
Last year reported MULTIPLE potholes.in neighborhood. When they came to our culdesac, they filled 1/2 of the hole in front of my drive and ran out of filler. They said they would be back, AND NEVER CAME BACK. Today, they went thru my neighborhood and never even came down my culdesac. It's getting to the point that all of Yellowwood Court needs repaved. But at least come and fill in the holes. That is one of the things I agree to pay taxes on.
Just curious if any State/County/City agency or legislative body bans smoking outdoors in public parks by statute/ordinance/regulation. Specifically, there is a cigar-smoker (loud, older, possibly un-housed) who often sits on a bench near the NW corner of People's Park about 11am and smokes a cigar that can be smelled by anyone who walks through the park and even across the street at the bagel shop. Just wondering if he could be asked to smoke where other people are not forced to smell it.
Homeless camp trash in city green space
Limb fell in backyard and brought down a utility wire that is now hanging close to the alley. Not an electrical line - looks like communication. Not sure if this is a City issue or not, but the landlord (Parker Rentals) doesn't keep up properties, so it will just hang there until someone trips over it in the dark.
The trash pickup truck just went by my street, picking up trash notmally. But the truck was playing loud music filled with obscenities and violent language. My young kids enjoy watching the trash pickup - please instruct trash pickup personnel to stop blasting inappropriate music to everyone on my street right away. Thanks, Daniel Cueto
