Possible abandoned RV and white sedan in parking lot of old funeral home off Gourley Pike.
Caller states this vacant lot has not been mowed for a couple years. Lots of brush too.
An old house was demolished on Friday 7 Nov. It had been clad in cement tiles, likely asbestos-containing transite. It appears that there was no attempt to isolate the hazardous waste from the bulk, so is it now all classified as hazardous? If so, is the contractor required by the State to dispose of the mass of waste resulting from the demolition in a special way, or perhaps into a designated landfill that accepts such waste? Attached is a picture of tiles that were left strewn about on the alley (a public thoroughfare) after the demolishers drove away. In the days since, people and/or animals have been stepping on the tiles and crushing them, possibly releasing friable asbestos fibers. There is a dog living immediately across the alley from this now toxic site. Is it unsafe for the dog to walk on the ground in this area? Or does the City even care about such things? Maybe it would it be better to just look the other way and let the people with money do whatever they please (?)
Several (5) driveways (including ours at 2404) back into N. Headley Road just at the crest of a hill. Traffic is often fast going down to Griffy Lake. There potential for accidents involving people backing out of their driveways with limited visibility of traffic coming up the hill from either direction on N. Headley Rd. We would appreciate signaling on both sides of the hill that traffic should be aware of blind driveways at the top of the hill (5 driveways). e.g., "SLOW DOWN: Blind Driveways"
Drainage issue at newly installed road/sidewalk ramp. Rain creates a puddle blocking the full ramp
Not accessible or safe for wheelchairs
The corner of 15th and Woodburn desperately needs a four way stop. We hear numerous near collisions daily. It is impossible to see oncoming traffic as they speed down 15th street while sitting at the stop sign on Woodburn Ave going north. Heading south, there is a better visual of incoming traffic. If not a stop sign, please look into how close to the intersection cars are allowed to park as it completely obstructs the ability to observe oncoming traffic.
Gray car with flat tire has been parked across the street on Lincoln for weeks. Rear driver's side tire is flat. Permit #581END.
Burning leaves smell.
