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.

Dang turn signals turn on when no cars are in the turn lane. What's up with that? Makes me want to run the red light. I guess that is ok.

On the northeast corner of 17th and Kinser Pike, looks like there's a pretty good patch of poison hemlock growing. Since its a noxious weed, I figured I'd report it!

Throughout the winter and currently, this uninhabited property has had unhoused people utilizing the garage in the back yard. People wander the alley and wander in the yard on a regular basis. The home also never had the sidewalks cleared from snow causing hazardous conditions for those of us who walk. Thank you. Near West Side Neighbors

Trash scattered all around The Manor.

The north end of this lot (adjacent to the RR fence and right next to Grant Street) is overgrown and there is a lot of trash that has accumulated in the area over the years. The trash is not as obvious during the summer when all the plants are leafed out, but right now it's easy to see it all. Broken glass and shards of metal, etc. Probably dangerous.

There is a City bench that is secured to the concrete, and someone has put their belongings underneath it, put a blue tarp over it, and tied it down. It has been there for two weeks now, and it is across from Chocolate Moose on the corner of Smith and Walnut.

Burnt out street light

Case Date:

On a whim, I decided to watch the 2/25/25 BPW meeting on CATS this morning. I was very disappointed to hear the casualness that the closed sidewalk on Lincoln was handled. Whether it is contiguous or not, it is still one of the only options of refuge for a pedestrian to walk with relative safety. The impression I got from the city staff is that it is expected and welcomed for pedestrians to just use the road. I understand that construction needs to happen, I just hope that in the future pedestrian considerations are treated with more care even if it is a small section! This is a long enough project (June 2027!) that I hope staff can look and see if other options are available.
