Vegetation overgrowth in Alley behind 705 E Cottage Grove
Resident reports an overhanging tree that is blocking right of way as well as accumulated debris from next door neighbor in the alley directly west of the 7th and Pine intersection.
Plants, bushes etc. blocking sidewalks so that pedestrians must go out into the street to pass this property.
The complainant states that automobiles are blocking the sidewalk everyday, and have been doing so for 7 weeks. She says she has complained of this for 7 weeks.
Resident reports a dumpster parked in an area clearly marked with a "No Parking" sign on the street. Dumpster creates an obvious roadway hazard. Location provided is approximate. Dumpster was delivered evening of July 24.
Caller has witnessed many people ignoring the stop sign at the corner of Clarizz and Buick Cadillac Dr. Because some children cross at that intersection walking to Binford-Rogers, she wonders about putting in a pedestrian crossing signal or crosswalk.
Owner of Yoga Mala on S College requested a bike rack to be installed oustide of her business.
bike rack request at Rainbow Bakery, and around 4th/Rogers
Received by email from Resident: The Park Ridge park is receiving increased usage these days. It's a great park with wonderful amenities and we are very proud of it! We monitor it carefully to be sure all is in good repair, the grounds are litter free, and we interact with City staff as they visit to maintain the park. As a result of this usage, parking has become an item that needs closer attention and management. With two residential homes on the circle with driveways, occasionally the two driveways are occasionally partially blocked; at least to the point where the residents of the two homes are challenged to enter or exit their driveways. Suggestion: would you survey the circle area and consider placing stripes to designate parking spaces? This would insure if vehicles park within the designated spaces, blocking driveways would not be an issue. One resident has medical needs and occasionally requires emergency transport. Additionally, please consider a yellow "do not park" grid stenciled to mark the walk/bike path entry off the circle. This area is often blocked by parked cars. The result is walking or biking around a vehicle to use the path. If a person in a wheelchair wished to enter the path (at the bottom of the hill), they are unable to access the path if a vehicle parks in front of the entry.
Caller stated there were skunks and rats living in area due to tall grass. Separate UReport entered to HAND for excessive growth.
