Meter #7697 on Madison st between 4th and Kirkwood. Machine is busted and won't accept cards. Please don't ticket me!
See cases 164681, 171500, 171508, 202944, etc. No need to enter property - car is obvious from the street and alley. Yellow VW bug is sinking into ground on east side of garage + lots of junk lying around.
Furniture left at the curb.
Recycling cans on the ally are overflowing with unbagged trash (not recyclables). They have not been emptied in weeks.
NW corner of lot is overgrown - partially blocking sidewalk along Cottage Grove. Annual occurrence.
The street lights on the West side of the parking garage are way too bright and low to the ground. The patrons at the Backdoor and the Blockhouse bars use that alley to socialize ( There is never any automobile traffic in the alley). The worst light is the one that shines directly into the entrance to the Blockhouse ( Its where everyone gathers outside and between shows). The light is blinding and shining directly into the faces of the patrons. Please: 1) get rid of the light(s) or move the to a higher location. 2) physically block the lights so that they will not shine straight out 3) replace the bulbs with something less bright and with a warmer "color temperature" ( 2700k). Or do a combination of these things. Thanks.
Its a white GMC truck it has been here for over a year now and no one has touched it. It has a broken side mirror.
Large trees-of-heaven on the west property line.
Had an arborist out on another street tree (Japanese Cherry) that needs pruned badly and some dead removed, but is otherwise healthy. While there he looked at a Red Sunset Maple that I thought had a lot of dead in it, just in the last year. His appraisal was that it needed removed and since a street tree he suggested I give the city a call.
