(See case 168547 for reference)
I had a heart attack and quadruple bypass at the age of 40 - that was six years ago. I still suffer from residual problems. Nevertheless, I was out today clearing out a fence line that my neighbor has allowed to grow up with invasive honeysuckle. The guy passed away and the property is in the middle of probate, so there is no one to do anything but me. As I was out in the heat having difficulty breathing, I got mad because I remembered the property that I have been reporting since MAY for piles of trash in the backyard and for overgrowth blocking the wheelchair ramp and driving line of sight - this property being 913 West 11th Street. I can't afford to hire someone, so I work in ways I shouldn't to keep my property nice and respectful to the neighborhood while an attorney for the city uses a property in the same neighborhood for a trash dump. Jo Stong has let this go. Jo Stong has not done her job. Jo Stong has let Michael slide because of his position. Jo Stong has NOT followed protocol with this case. Daily fines should have been given long ago. This property should have been cleaned up long ago - following city protocol, but it hasn't. There is little difference, if any between the trash now and the trash when I first reported it in MAY. Jo Stong closed the initial case as "resolved." This is fraudulent recording. The case has not been resolved or even started to be resolved. I have been watching this property closely because of the severity of the filth and garbage and its safety and health hazard to say nothing about Michael's absolute disrespect to the neighborhood. Whether intentional or not, Jo Stong has been completely ineffective and lazy with this case. I don't now if they will be any more effective, but it's because of this that, as of 6/20/2019, this case, with all of its details and photos, has been reported to IDEM.
Note: Your mapping system will not let me place a pin on 913. The address is not 1001 West 11th. It is 913 West 11th.

I would like to at least put in a request that this case be assigned to someone other than Jo Stong.

52,000 dollars for a Night Mayor (Nightmare more like it). Thanks for nothing B-town. More like IU Student Housing City, IN. I suppose Mayor "Default" Hamilton can't function after 5pm or he'll turn into a pumpkin.

913 W. 11th St. NOT 1001. I can't get the GIS to point to 913. Photo taken 6/20 This still has not been cut back despite Jo Stong saying that it would. Still can't see safely to turn from Orris to 11th St. The wheelchair ramp is also obstructed. You seem to have an issue getting Michael to respect the city.

I live on the northwest corner of N Dunn and Saville, 2401 N. Dunn. Now that the paving and striping has been completed, what about putting up 3-Way signposts underneath each of the stop signs here at this intersection? Those of us who live in Matlock Heights are well aware of drivers who blow through this intersection on Dunn, especially traveling to the south. We wait at this white stripe until we are certain that people are actually stopping. My concern is for those drivers who may assume people will stop and begin to enter the intersection with the intention to turn right (south). They could be T-boned and suffer injuries as has happened in the past. Some of us who stop at this stripe will actually honk our horn if we see someone not obeying this stop sign. I would really appreciate someone from your department looking in to this matter. At the very least, it might influence drivers to be a little more cautious at this intersection. Thank you.
