The street lamps that are posted coming out of the sidewalks have been knocked out and not working for some time, but the building blocks any kind of light coming from busier streets and the light coming from 3rd Street and Allison jukebox is not enough that you can see walking down the sidewalk. As an employee of middleway house, my supervisor has given me permission to report to you that clients have experience not feeling safe and needing flashlights to navigate the sidewalk at night. The worst area is on the southwest side of the sidewalk between the gates of the new wings building down to Smith Avenue. It is also dark across the street from another building owned by middleway house, the rise at 401 South Washington. It is very dark on the west side of the street and our clients and are coming home with their children taking the bus when the bus station often is closed. Please work with whoever the property management is of that apartment building because I'm sure they need to install proper lighting for their own tenant's safety, especially on the doorways and entry points that make people feel unsafe walking by. I believe the city needs to install more lighting as well. This area has been begging increasingly unsafe, although close to 3rd St Police. Thank you for giving this the attention it deserves.

This car has been parked blocking my drive/garage at 1304 S Grant Street. I asked neighbors (knocked on four doors and two answered ) if they knew who it belonged to and they did not.

Saw ticket #199149 suggesting a new street light at the intersection of S. Euclid and W. Howe. My partner and I live at this intersection, and we agree that it's dark. We would be willing to add lights to our property which would illuminate the intersection. If the city wants to go this route, let us know and we can get it started.

Dead squirrel. Put a box over it so that neighborhood kids wouldn’t play with it, but it is still next to the bush and next to the mailbox as seen in the attached image. The tail is visible from under the box.

I think the traffic signal timing should be modified at the intersection of Country Club and Rogers. During afternoon rush hour (and presumably morning rush hour as well) traffic on Country Club has to wait through multiple light cycles. Traffic on Rogers backs up much less.

The street in front of 725 has a defect that can be dangerous to a bicyclist who may be forced by a vehicle also traveling east on Howe.

At Thornton Dr. and Henderson St. there is a line of sight issue looking south down Henderson while on Thornton. The stop sign on Thorton is back from the intersection and a driver cannot see users of the multi-use trail or traffic coming from the south on Henderson without pulling forward to the point of the vehicle being into the crossing for the multi-use path on Thornton. This has been a problem for a while. Today, I was stopped at the stop sign and about to slowly move forward to the point where I could see traffic when a bicycle heading north on the multi-use path coming down the hill from Miller along Henderson at a decent speed went flying by in front of my car without regard to the cross traffic pulling out. I'm not sure who would end up at fault when a cyclist goes over the hood of a car there in such a scenario but it seems better if the City can address the problem immediately instead of wait for someone to get hurt. I have seen similar issues with scooters coming down the hill there.
