From the bridge above the Falls Shelter at Lower cascades were abandoned power poles, wires and overhead lamps. The wire and some parts and salvage value - copper is what - $4/lb. A theft appears to have taken place - 100 lbs + of wire - the wires gone, the metal gone, but the removal was done in haste because the trail is littered with chards of glass, plastic and metal pieces, including the wire nuts used with the lamps. What remains is a wooden lamp post and the attached electrical box which would have been difficult to salvage. I figure a theft, because the nation is riddled with wire thefts - irrigation wires on farms, new wire stripped from houses under construction, etc. The remaining litter is a hazard to walkers and runners, and it will take some time to clean it all up.

Over the past year and a half I have asked HAND and Sarge Rentals to remove the garbage cans from the tree row of the 600 block of University St. HAND finally tild me they were fining the rooming house at 624 S Fess. That did not help. I asked Sarge Rentals to remove the Rumpke trash and recycling bins once they switched over to Avas. They did not. Now the Avas bins are in the tree row along with the Rumpke ones and another waste basket (see picture). When I moved here 30 years ago I went to a city meeting to complain about the trash at the rooming house. The problem was remedied by placing a dumpster in the alley behind the building. That was replaced by the Rumpke bins. None of the residents nor Sarge move the bins from the tree row after trash is taken. No other homes on University St behave in this manner. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS EYESORE!

This picture shows two items that need to be removed. One is a square shaped 2' by 2' concrete slab. It is laying on the road and could be a hazard to someone driving over it. The other is a large concrete collar that is nearby in the grass on the property of the apartment complex on the corner of the 300 block of N Lincoln St. It has been there for probably around 4 months or longer.

Both of these locations, and many more, still are snow covered almost a week after the snow stopped. Please enforce the snow clearing ordinance more vigorously. Please also require property owners to clear corners instead of leaving snow between the sidewalk and the street. Thank you.

A tree located in the Davis St. right of way just blew down into the south end of our front yard. I write to request that the city remove the portion of the tree (c. 20+ ft.) that lies on our private property. Thank you, Eric Sandweiss

My neighbor's tree hangs over the street where I park my car. I do not have a driveway and my only option is to park on the street. This house is empty and has been for a long time. The tree has limbs that are dead and falling and breaking and I'm worried they will fall on my car. I don't know who to contact to make them take care of this. The last time we had that super strong wind I wasn't home luckily but a huge limb fell down into the street from that tree you can see where it broke off from. The limbs that hangs over my car needs to be cut down.
