Utility cut was beautifully fixed, but the warning sign from last week has collapsed and is now half in the roadway next to the sidewalk.

The stormwater drainage ditch (also known as "Sheridan Creek") near the intersection of Sheridan and Karen continues to erode with chunks of asphalt going into stormwater drains. This was looked at a couple of years ago with a decision of "careful watching." It seems like it is now time to re-pave the culvert or put in a drainage pipe, consistent with what is at both ends of this ditch.

On Friday, July 12, a crew from JE Reedy pushed through my double locked gate to clear a path so they could install fiber overhead (in a neighborhood that already has fiber). They seriously cut at least 3 trees: 2 are trees that get no taller than 15 feet, and a pine that was near the pole they needed to climb (Duke has cleared this area for years and never had to hack the pine). They said that they came by on Thursday but they did not leave any notice that they would be working in my backyard so they were trespassing. They could have done their work without destroying my fence row but that would have involved creativity and a little effort. I am sickened, angry and sad and want someone in the City to see this mess and come up with a way to make this right. I have several photos but could only upload one.

Currently, the city only has one method for filing noise complaints, which is to call the number listed on the city's website. Having only one reporting method is extremely ineffective, and limiting the reporting method to only verbal communication creates a barrier for accessibility. There are individuals who cannot communicate over the phone - like me. Illness stole my voice years ago, but my hearing was not impacted - I still hear the noise. I just can't report it. Not sure what an adequate fix would be, as it would have to be something that is regularly monitored. (Address provided is rough estimate of area where heavy bass plays frequently, it could be one of these houses or an apartment building - I needed to put a location on the map, so I included that one.)

Today and always when there's been heavy rain over the last years, 1st Street floods in our stretch, because there's no drain in the block between Stull and Fess Ave. where we are. At our house, the water hits the curb of the alley in such a way that the entire grass patch and side way is flooded, making it dangerous to walk on the side way. I'm attaching a picture of now, when the rain has already become more steady. I can provide a number of short videos we've taken over the years to document the problem. Please, consider installing a drain or let us know what can be done about this. It is dangerous for us, our toddler son and our visitors. Thank you!

Residents at this house have left beer cans and solo cups scattered in the yard among other trash. It’s been blowing away into the alley ways. On top of that as well, they have an improperly stored trash bin in the road which has been tipped over and is actively spilling into the road. They also put up caution tape around their yard which has come loose and has also blown into the road as well. All of this is in their back yard which is facing me. I live at 415 S Grant St. I would really appreciate if someone came out to check it out and either clean it up or tell the residence to clean it up, I really care about the local environment and I’ve noticed small animals eating out of the garbage.

On E. Sheridan Drive, between Manor and Hawthorne, there are pine trees on the south side of the street by the creek. The furthest east tree is leaning over heavily towards the street and biking and walking path. There are parking spots under the tree and some power lines not far away that the tree might be able to hit when it falls. The tree has a heavy sideways tilt to it. The ground around the base of the tree is raised up. The creek bed behind the tree is eroding out. It seems like a matter of time before the tree falls over, uprooted on its own. Let this be the writing I will share with anyone who is injured by the pine tree falling that shows the City is on notice as to the inherent danger of a tree on City property that is in a state of ground heaving, appears ready to be uprooted, and could cause property damage, personal injury, or death due to the City's negligence in failing to remove the tree upon notice of the danger. Good luck. Please evaluate the tree and strongly consider preemtively removing it before it does any harm.
