Behind the Red Cross building (located where Constellation is) there is a set of concrete stairs that goes to the Grant Street Inn overflow lot (there's a sign that says 'No Exit'). The light next to those stairs is not working. We think it may be a dead lightbulb.
Open garbage left in backyard for at least a few weeks.
Excessive growth
This trash has been setting out in front of 116 E. 19th for weeks. Please have it picked up. And the grass is a foot tall. It's unsightly.

Puddles and wood chips all over the playground at Bryan Park
Water leaking from road
Water has been pouring onto the front yard of our office through a large crack in the concrete retaining wall at the east side of Building Trades park. This has been on-going over the entire day. We have not observed this happening after a rain event in the past.
Serious flash flooding in our neighborhood last night. At least 7 residential lots were affected on W Allen (6 north side of the street, 1 south side) directly west of the drainage creek that runs alongside Patterson. This has been an issue for several years, but is happening with increased frequency and severity. I've owned my house since 2012 and experienced 1 instance through 2019. Since then we've had floods covering much of my front yard at least twice a year. Last night was the 3rd instance this year and the worst I've seen. Water level reached my knees while on the sidewalk. Earlier this year, one neighbor's car was totaled due to flooding. Another had water rise up above floor level in their house a couple years ago. Previous attempts to clear brush, debris, and small blockages in the creek have had no impact. Rain garden bump outs were installed on Allen. They seem to have no impact as they run east up Allen whereas the source of flooding is the creek to the west. Utilities staff working on our block in the past have suggested culverts were too small to handle water flow. Reading the 2022 stormwater master plan, I wonder if installing a detention pond nearby might help. Instead of attaching photos, here's a video link taken at the peak of flooding last night: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/q84v292p5nk4e2a6dnqo4/Video-Jun-29-2025-9-46-38-PM.mov?rlkey=aouaax4cfgu6nnr8pvieuterj&st=o88w184x&dl=0
