Handicap parking spots aren't accessible, sidewalks are not clear.
There are two cars in the parking lot that are not running with expired temporarily Tags. One is a gold/ silver Chrysler sedan, with windows down. The other is a blue Suzuki compact car. There is a third gold/silver Toyota sedan with darkened tail lights. It has an expired temporarily tag as well. These cars are not legally registered in the state of Indiana and are taking up already sparse parking spaces meant for fully legal residents. Thankyou for your help.
The only accessible parking spot is diagonal and tucked into a corner, leaving the blue lined area for wheelchair ramp deployment much smaller and awkwardly shaped than usual. Also, there's a 15 minute time limit on the spot, despite it being the only accessible spot in the lot. I'm not sure how someone could deploy a wheelchair ramp, exit their vehicle, and turn their wheelchair while parked in this spot if the adjacent parking spots are occupied. I could be completely wrong about this, but I thought that accessible spots were supposed to have an extra 2 hours on top of any time constraints on the non-accessible spots in the same lot. The other spots in this same lot all have a 15 minute limit, so shouldn't this spot have a 2 hour and 15 minute limit? It seems really limiting to only have one accessible parking spot in the lot and have it be an extremely tight fit and restrict it to only 15 minutes. This parking spot is for a coffeeshop where college students regularly work on their laptops - if someone needs to use the accessible parking spot, doesn't the 15 minute limit prevent them from being able to work or study in this coffeeshop like others get to do?

The street is full of leaves. Most of the street's leaves hadn't fallen when the crew came by 2-3 weeks ago. They are all down now and ready.
Ms. Marchant included a photo of large pile of leaves to explain why she could not possibly bag her leaves but that they need to be picked up by city trucks. (FYI--Letterhead stated address as "woodscrest" however, GIS only shows Woodcrest, hence the difference between location address and citizen address.)
Owns 4 rental properties in Woodlawn/Hunter area. Wants street posted no parking before leaf collection crews come thru. Impossible to get leaves if you don't. City makes them plant street trees, city should maintain them.
Mr. Sutherland wanted to state that by the time the leaves are picked up by the city they've already blown back up into the person's yard, or even worse, their neighbors yard. He recommends that the city limit the number of days before the leaves are picked up so as to eliminate the above problem.
