I live nearby and the owner of this property rarely cuts the grass. I believe it’s only been cut once this summer and only 50% of the yard was cut then. Weeds everywhere and the height is well above eight inches. Please make them cut the grass on a consistent basis. Thank you!
Street lights at the intersection of Bloomfield Rd and Allen St and other intersections on Bloomfield Rd
There is poison ivy around the inside of the perimeter of the tennis court (where balls often go)
Trees on the street side of the sidewalk on this property (especially, but not only, the one near the driveway) appear to be in poor health or dead. Branches fall with nearly every moderate storm that comes through.

The light moving north/south on Patterson turns red even when there is no one traveling east/west on Allen. And when it does turn red for north/south traffic on Patterson, it takes anywhere between 30 and 45 seconds to turn green again. This has been going on for several weeks now. Could the timing be checked?
At the end of the street, there is very little light. It is not safe to be walking in the dark alone down that part of the street.
For City Council members to review: Per City when describing work experience, “Generally, internships, seasonal jobs, and temporary part-time (TPT) positions with the City -as well as internships and volunteer work outside the City- are not included”. How is that ethical or correct in any capacity? Paid labor whether seasonal or part time is just that - labor, work, experience. This notion clearly shows bias towards those with the privilege and advantage of not having to work part time to attain degrees, certifications, etc. in order to finally attain a full time role. How is one supposed to gain experience if the means of getting experience - internship, part time, or otherwise- is not counted as such? This seems like a very biased internal policy decision and means of discounting experience for employees accross the board. This should be highlighted and inquired about in the upcoming council meeting, regardless of outcome for the legislation to be read (no one wants to hold back employees even further).
Large downed tree has been in backyard since the June storm of 2024.
