Snow was shoveled into the disability parking space and it is also blocking the accessible path of travel curb cut to get from the parking space to the sidewalk. Attention Michael Shermis
Recycling from our home and surrounding properties were not collected on mon. I do not believe the issue is improperly sorted recyclables from multiple properties.
Landscaping crew at this Airbnb blew leaves into a big pile on the street, not bagged, and it’s making an already narrow road even more difficult for pedestrians and vehicles to pass.
Huge pile of leaves blocking part of the street, leaves have been there for almost two weeks. With it snowing yesterday, it made it extremely hard to even get around this pile, I can only foresee this getting worse. it is also almost completely blocking the sidewalk.
I'm curious what the possibility of reducing the speed limit on Bloomfield is? From my observation biking and driving that road daily (I live off Basswood), 40 mph starting just west of Adams seems too fast for such a narrow lane with a lot of drives and high deer crossing further west approaching the highway. I've often seen people fly up the hill between Landmark and Cory and slam on their breaks because they couldn't see the traffic stopped ahead. Not sure how you determine speed limits. I'm also curious of a deer crossing sign could be placed along Bloomfield (between Twin Lakes Recreation Center and I-69) - I bike that road everyday and there's a new dead deer every week or so. I know people stop looking at/get desensitized to signs, but it just seems to appropriate to put a deer sign there. Thanks for all you do!
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.
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 city planted an oak tree in my yard. I wasn’t informed of that. I am highly allergic to oak pollen. I’m request it be removed. Trees are very expensive to maintain. That’s why there are no trees in the front yard. We don’t have sidewalks on Nancy Street.
