Mr. Madsen called to express his concern about the efficiency of tax money on the sidewalk sweeper the City just purchased. He believes the City merchants should sweep their own sidewalks, and in the winter should shovel their own walks to better promote people to use the dowtown area. This was just a general complaint to voice his concern.

Please have public streetlights installed at the entrance of Whittington Commons on Allen Street. It is very dark, and it is difficult to see entrance. I know this is a private road within WC, but Allen is a public street and it is a hazard to not have streetlights at entrance given the public sidewalk crosses the entrance. Light it up!

The city recently replaced worn some worn curbs and this week repaved a big section of Park Ridge Road in Park Ridge East. The crew did an exceptional job! However, on the east side of the street between the park and Sheffield Drive there is a considerable amount of chunky gravel and dirt left on the sidewalk. Will the city please send someone to clean it up? Thank you so much.
Construction site utilizing alleyway creating potholes and divots
A new walkway and rail was installed in 2020 along Rogers Road to make it safer for children to walk to school. Shortly after it was completed a tree fell and damaged the railing for a bridge which is about 15 feet above Jackson Creek. The tree was removed but the railing was not repaired, it was simply wrapped with caution tape. This may have been adequate temporarily but it has been left this way for over a year. This is unsafe and an eyesore. Can you please arrange to have this properly repaired?
Location, Ticket 180318, NW corner N Park Ridge Rd & E Cambridge Dr. Perhaps others?
