The Southwest Branch of the library is currently inaccessible to people with mobility issues. The road and driveway are completely blocked off and a worker suggested I park at the middle school parking lot. This would have been a long walk across uneven, unsafe terrain to reach the library. This is unacceptable, and it's a violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. That whole project has been a mess for weeks, requiring people to drive through a one-lane roadway without a flagger or light (the portion near the library). The roadway has not been paved for weeks. It's being handled very poorly, but today's situation is illegal.
Tap water is consistently turning a yellow/green color after adding chlorine or bleach to it. It turns opaque and cloudy. This has never happened before. I've been calling the utilities line daily and they keep insisting the water chemistry has not changed, despite getting multiple reports of this occurring across the city.
I am unsure of the exact address but I have included the general area with an address according to the map. Since I have moved in on June 15, the neighbor has a dog that is kept outside that constantly barks extremely loudly. This occurs at all hours of the day and has even woken me up in the morning as it is loud enough to be heard inside the house. It has also prevented me from sitting on my back porch as it is so loud and constant. I am unsure if any neglect is present, this is mainly a noise public nuisance issue.
Maybe send this to the mayor's office and CBU doesn't seem to be responding. There are numerous reports of water, color and quality issues across the city. Can someone please issue a statement about what is going on? It is not an isolated location and has been going on for many days. We deserve to know.
