This cop 1705 has been blocking the alleyway for over an hour so far (30 minutes is the legal amount) Really bad for business to have a cop car right next to your business door. He does this often and it does not improve the safety and negatively impacts business to have him stationed on Kirkwood in such a manner.
I just wrote another ticket about the stationing of a cop outside my business. (203632) I approached the officer and asked him to keep moving along as to not deter customers. He was immediately condescending, admitted to watching a movie while idling next to my business, and then attempted to brush off my request as “anti cop” which was deflective of the conversation I was trying to have as a tax payer and Kirkwood business owner. It’s not hard to understand that cops are easily an intimidating presence especially in patrol mode right next to your business door. Car #1705
crows had attacked the back parking lot early Dec 17th. My wife and I cleaned up the back parking lot Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday afternoon I went to Lowes and bought two fake Horned Owls and placed them on my air conditioner units. The next day Dec 20th there were no signs of crow activity from the night before.
The sand in the intersection of 12 and Washington is quite hazardous to cyclists turning onto Washington; could this be swept up please?
The bike lane on N College, starting around 1919 to 11th street has several piles of sand that make it difficult to ride.
Cottage Grove bike lane just east of of the Lincoln Street intersection is filled with sand. Can this please be swept?
Please send street cleaner to Waterman addition. Adams, Fountain, and 8th Streets have refuse, dirt, and weeds, that need a scrubbing by curbs and drains. Accident debris by RR track needs professional help.
Mr. Walls is very happy that sand on the streets is removed once not needed, especially for children riding bikes etc., but he wonders why the city doesn't "filter/screen" it to recycle it for use during the rest of the winter season? He noted the method of "screening" for re-use - has street dept. considered this? He thinks it would be more cost-effective. If screening for re-use is NOT feasible, could sand be recycled for use as "fill material" for other city projects (Utilities dept.)?
