Our street, which is sloped downward from Dunn to N. Walnut, has water sluicing down Glendora in even a light rain. We have no storm drains or infrastructure to handle heavy rains except for the ditches some residents have dug on their own properties. I have such a ditch at 311 Glendora, and it runs very full and fast when it rains, keeping the street from flooding even more than it always does. My ditch has asphalt that is full of holes, so it needs patching- but that will only be a bandaid on what is a much larger problem... the fact that our neighborhood has no stormwater infrastructure. This causes basements to flood, and even one resident's basement wall to collapse under the floodwaters pouring down from Dunn St. Please contact me for more information, or direct me to the person who can help us. Thanks!
Two very assertive/aggressive deer. One initially on the south side of 3rd, saw three humans and three dogs and trotted from 25-50 yards away, crossed the street, and then followed us on the campus side of the street until the 3rd person in our group deterred it with waving their hat, enough for the deer to run parallel with us again on the other side of the street. Second deer looked over rock ledge at the music school, spotted us, and then proceeded to walk towards us as if to meet up right at the 3rd/Eagleson bus stop. Two deer ended up interacting with one another after the first deer crossed back to our side. Humans and dogs entered Soma to plot remainder of walking route. This area is very busy with cars, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians, and the music school constantly has people in/out of it during the summer months. I’m concerned for all parties, but I would like to know what I can do to deter a deer that is actively pursuing me. I’ve now had deer chase me twice in the last two years. Last year near Bryan Park, and now on campus. Signs to avoid the area aren’t going to cut it if the deer will follow and pursue for blocks.
Please do so to reduce the city deer population. They destroyed my plantings again as they always do. Hundreds of $ at Mays Greenhouse wasted. It’s ridiculous. It’s constant and unrelenting. Maybe they will attack a child or something to gain your attention!!’
