The back property line for the new apartment complex at 714 North Walnut has not been maintained all summer, and is extremely overgrown at this point. I've e-mailed the new property owners several time this summer asking them to maintain this area, but have been unable to get a response from them. This can be viewed easily from my backyard, if necessary.
2 annoying and growing potholes at end of alley by 612 N Washington.
There is an abandoned car at the intersection of W 4th St and Maple. It is a red 4-door Volkswagen with a rack on top and out of state plates. It has at least 1 flat tire and has been there for at least 3 weeks. Thank you!
Virtually all streetlights on the north side of 17th between Dunn and Fee are out. I assume this is due to the construction of the sidewalk. Will the city make sure these lights are restored when the construction is completed?
I was stopped at the intersection of Woodlawn and 17th street at the new light. I was attempting to make a left turn to proceed west on 17th. It was after midnght. I there was no east-west traffic at all which had the green. I waited for 4 minutes and no change. This intersection controller needs to be checked to make sure it will switch the opposing traffic to green upon sensing a vehicle promptly if there is no east-west traffic.
There are at least 2 street lights out on 14th street between Walnut and Dunn. This is a dark area and needs more light anyway, but when the existing lights are out, it is clear why crimes can occur in this general area.
There are fresh piles of stone on the alley along the southside of this property. It appears that they intend to convert the backyard into parking. Is this legal? Please disregard this concern if the stone is instead intended for improvement of the alley.
NW corner of Grant/8th has shrubs that hinder view of oncoming traffic when traveling south on Grant. When you get to the intersection you have to slowly pull into it because the shrubs prevent you from seeing cars traveling east on 8th Street, and they don't have a stop sign on 8th so they just plow through the intersection. This has been a hazard off and on for years.
Third Street between Woodlawn and Indiana intersection is a problem. It narrows to one lane near Indiana, but the traffic at the light at Woodlawn does not know it will narrow. This results in traffic tie ups and unsafe manouvering to get a better spot in line. Please move the warnings and signs about the single lane closer to the traffic light at Woodlawn, if they can see the problem earlier it will be safer. Someone tried to cut ahead by using the bike lane and sidewalk today.
