The fenced in yard area at 1517 E. University Street is overgrown. They rarely mow their grass.

There is a dead opossum in the street across from 406 hillside. I know what you're going to say but it's been there 3 days now and it's starting to decompose with phones showing. You can smell it a block away.
At the intersection of 3rd and College, for the 3rd Street eastbound lane, the "no turn on red" sign has been covered (I think for several weeks now), seemingly related to the convention center construction. This feels like a mistake? I don't know how the construction at the convention center makes it ok to now turn right on red. Can the sign be uncovered so that drivers are reminded, "No right on red"? Thank you for your time.
There is a row of storage units immediately to the south of my apartment at Brandon Ct. There is a space between the units and a fence that is supposed to be maintained by Henderson Court. As you can see by the photo (I can provide more), it appears that unhoused people use it as a place to sleep. The area is strewn with trash, and mattress/foundation, and I would suspect that drug activity is or has occurred in the space. Furthermore, several packages have been stolen off of my stoop by occupants of this space. Clearly, this poses a health and safety hazard. I ask that the City investigate the area and assess fines and other sanctions against Granite, the listed property owners or managers. In addition to clean up and possible environmental remediation, I want the area secured in such a fashion that in the future no unhoused people can reoccupy the space. The Department may also need to contact Henderson Court for erection of a fence that denies access for the length of the fence that serves as the property line between Henderson Court and Brandon Court. I would like the City
Trash in front of the garage doors on E Second Street side of the property. Camper, boat, several vehicles in yard parked on the grass. Several huge storage sheds with who knows what in it.
The traffic light at S. Walnut Street and South Drive keeps turning red for Walnut traffic without any vehicle or pedestrian traffic on South Drive. It stays red for a very long time. This is weekdays, weekends, evenings, 7:30am this Sunday morning. It's very disruptive to traffic.
When the new sidewalks were installed at the corner of Nota and Woodbine and on Nota, the irrigation system for 2300 E Woodbine was damaged in two spots. Pictures of the sidewalk repair and the invoice for repairs is attached.
People living on the sidewalk and blocking it.
Several cars being repaired by outside workers. Now at 8:48pm someone is stripping paint off a car and making a very continuous loud noise while blocking the side walk. At least 5 old cars being repaired in front of this house all day and during the night.
Couple weeks ago, some contractor dug up 7~9 holes on kinser pk between rosewood and acuff rd. I think they were installing natural gas pipe. They buried it and filled it with concrete but never finished it with asphalt on top as concrete wasn't filled all the way to the top. (The white patches in the picture) It's very bumpy when you drive over it. I am concerned with two points, 1. They just paved Kinser Pk not long ago and this is going to deteriate the road that city just re-paved if they don't fix it soon. 2. People are resorting to driving on the other side of the road to avoid the holes, including school buses. This is not a safe situation. Again, I would have thought they would come back and finished it quickly but it's been many weeks and I am starting to be concerned. Thanks.
