Recycling
720 W Kirkwood AVE
- Case Date:
- 10/19/2021
This morning, sanitation services left the contents of the shared recycling bin of the duplex for addresses 718, 720, and 722 W Kirkwood Ave. all over the curb. I understand that my duplex neighbors before have placed items in the recycling bin that are not recyclable, and I try to remove those as I see them, but dumping what is essentially all of the contents on the sidewalk for me to have to pick up is ridiculous. My neighbors are lazy and will not clean it up themselves, so until I return home from work today, all of that recycling is just going to sit and rot on the sidewalk. Also, no notice was left, so even if they were to go out and see what happened, they would have no clue as to why these things weren't collected. I understand the frustration of people putting legit trash in the recycling bin, it frustrates me too, but there's a level of passive aggression here that is quite unwarranted and is instead resulting in littering by your employees and a genuine inconvenience from me that I can't address in a timely manner, since most people getting into their car for their morning commute don't expect to see their recycling bin dumped on the sidewalk, waiting for them.

The traffic light at 7th and College isn’t giving westbound traffic the green arrow, and now that that intersection is “turn on green arrow only” cars are stacking up in the left turn lane with no chance to go. This evening I sat through 3 light cycles and never got the green arrow, despite the fact that there were 3-4 cars behind me. This is especially problematic at the moment because 7th is closed at Morton St, so 95% of westbound traffic on 7th needs to turn left onto College. Could this be fixed, and the resulting green arrow made long enough for 3-4 cars to get through before it turns red? Thanks!
Traffic Suggestions

The intersection of 11 and Forrest currently is a three way stop. I would prefer if this was a 4 way stop. I frequently travel between the buildings on the NE and the SW corners. It would also be helpful to have stop-lines/cross walk lines once construction is finished in the SE block.

The sidewalk on the NE corner of Forrest and 11 is not accessible. It has a severely steep grade and bank (one corner is much higher than the opposite). I would not travel along the block on the North side of 11 between Forrest and Walnut Grove because of it.
