Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues
322 E Cottage Grove AVE
- Case Date:
- 10/4/2023
A man picking up scooters from a corral today at 10:30am who was driving a pickup with a large trailor had parked in the middle of Grant Street at this location while attending to the scooters, blocking passage of vehicles traveling south. As I rode by (bicycle, not a scooter) he aggressively moved into what remained of the available street to use, attempted to block my path and emitted a deranged, sneering sound as I passed. It was a dangerous and unnecessary thing for him to do. He was possibly in his 30s, was a bit overweight and seemed a bit "limited". Please inform the scooter companies that their employees should be trained to respect people around them while they are working.

Trash has been left unattended for months at this address. It was placed on curb for pickup this morning (after months left up against side of house), but sanitation workers did not take it — maybe because there was too much of it but it is a nuisance and a hazard at this point.

The fees for food vendors are too high and are driving vendors away from the market. That also means that the market is less interesting to patrons. The local food vendors are important to those who come. Please lower these fees.

Very large pin oak tree planted right next to the street is dead on at least half of it’s crown with dangerous branches broken and dangling over the street. Seems like a public hazard.

This property has car parts, household furniture, a hauling trailer made out of the back end of some truck parked on the grass. It just has junk coming out from everywhere. I mean I don't like having to report people but why does the neighborhood have to be brought down because someone can't/won't get an off site storage space.

Potholes, Other Street Repair
201 E Gilbert DR
- Case Date:
- 9/28/2023
When turning onto Gilbert Drive from Walnut Street, a significant portion of the road (on the south side) has eroded. As cars swerve to avoid the road damage on the way into the neighborhood, they sometimes come face to face with an oncoming vehicle seeking to exit the neighborhood. This is creating a hazard for our residents and visitors. Would it be possible to send a team out to repair this section of Gilbert Drive?
With appreciation,
