Yard is VERY overgrown and grass has gone to seed.
My recycling has not been picked up for the last 2 weeks. It contains the same things I have always put in there and had picked up. I was left no notice or reason why it was not picked up. I now have over 2 weeks of recycling that has to be taken.
As quickly as you guys get that sidewalk cleaned up. They are right back there with more stuff, more trash and more people it is such a dangerous situation. Businesses are leaving our street which puts empty buildings for them to destroy they've already broke into one that had to be all boarded up. People can't use the sidewalks because of all the trash and the people and it's just not safe. I understand they need a place to go but that is not it

This area needs a sidewalk.
A crosswalk is essential here for ensuring safety and facilitating easier pedestrian movement.
Two aggressive dogs ran (charged) at someone walking in front to the CAP office while they were walking by. The person screamed/yelled and the owners recalled the dogs. The dogs were not on a lease or inside a fence.
The unimproved city owned right of way of Alexander St, between 10th St and the B-Line, has recently been occupied by neighbors. The right of way is used as a walking route by the neighborhood in conjunction with the B-Line. It hasn't escalated to conflict yet, but it is currently a little awkward. Adams St is a lot less pleasant to walk on than Alexander. Adams is noisy with car traffic, often cluttered with trash cans, very unpleasant in the rain and utterly unusable in the snow when the snowplow plow the snow out of the street onto the sidewalk. There's plenty of on street parking on 10th. The unimproved route is a bit muddy in wet weather, and it would be good if there was a sidewalk connecting the street network with the B-Line (much like the B-Line - Butler Park connector on the southeast side of the railroad overpass over the B-line). While the route on the Alexander ROW (on the west side of Rick's Towing lot) needs to be defended, if a connector is to be codified in asphalt, the Summit St ROW (on the east side of Rick's towing lot) would be better and serve more people (especially because of the walkway on BHA property between 11th +12th Sts, west of the the gas station and the Boys and Girls Club) if a connector was to be built.
Bagged trash in street, fodder for critters.
