I work in the leasing office at Atlas on 17th (1439 N Telluride St). Several residents have submitted complaints regarding the streetlights of our property not being on a night, which has concerned many for their safety and security. We have confirmed reports of there being no streetlights on for roads N Telluride St. and W Aurora Dr. The other streets on our property include W Redlands Dr, W Vail St, N Denver Rd, and N Arvada Rd.
Houses yard is excessively weed overgrown and unkempt. Weeds are causing issues bleeding into neighbors’ yards and spreading weeds to neighboring houses. It looks horrible and is a harbor for rats and other pests.
Neighbors both front and back yard are excessively grown and riddled with weeds, attracting rats and other vermin. It’s unsightly and causing weeds to spread into neighboring yards. I’ve reached out before and nothing has been done yet.
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.
Lawn hasn't been mowed since sometime last year. In the back there's even a fallen tree that was never cleaned up. No leaf cleanup has been done for well over a year, so leaves blow onto other neighbors' lawns. A brush pile in the front by oak tree obstructs view from driveways. Poison ivy in multiple spots, which now appears in neighbors' yards. Also, have seen snakes and they also appear in neighbors' yards. Additionally, more ticks seem to be around than in years past. Many of us in the neighborhood have children and grandchildren, so this is disturbing, as well as being an eyesore and potentially negatively impacting home sale prices. Thank you.
The brick work here is very uneven and overgrown, with some bricks being broken, leaving jagged edges that are dangerous. I was jogging and tripped and fell, causing this huge gash on my leg and requiring me to go to the ER. Please get it fixed for the safety of the community and the children that walk there everyday to go to school.
Allen St sidewalk between Adam's and Mother Hubbard's is overgrown, sidewalk a mess, needs long needed maintenance
Bus parks next to outside eating area and is left running. Would like yo see them park farther back by hobby lobby or further forward, but right next to the outside eating area is ridiculous. I don't enjoy having my lunch and having to yell just to talk to someone next to me.
The sidewalk from S Lakespur Ln. to Mother Hubbard’s is getting very over gown and muddy making it hard to walk on. There’s a lot of honey suckle and even poison ivy growing into the walking area.
