Since the crosswalks have been placed, with the school sign looking very similar from behind when heading South, it gives the impression there is a stop sign. I have been here for a year and watched 3 car accidents. The company, who is my landlord, has been there for 35+ years and said since the crosswalks, there have been 3 accidents and several close calls. I am a social worker, who works with kids. I don’t know why there is one 4 way at the sign, but not at the other end, on 8th street, that is within school/church grounds. Please bring attention to this urgently, I have a feeling something bad will happen to a child if something isn’t done here and will be saving this documentation for myself, so if something does happen, I am not liable and this is all screenshot, so you are aware and this could be held liable in court proceedings if nothing is done.

Hello. We provide water at this address for the tenants (there are 3 units in this property) and they let us know they believe one of their trash bins has been stolen. Can this be replaced? If so, what does that process look like?
Thank you!

Walked through Switchyard again last night for the first time since my last report (11/7)- all the lights were still off, the whole stretch was still pitch black. I finally went through and wrote down the ID for every light that was out along the trails in this stretch. Every light starting at BL51 and ending with BL38 was out, as well as every light starting at SYP117 and ending at SYP108 (so SYP107 and down were on).
I hope this helps you figure it out!

At this time, the City no longer maintains individual painted parking space lines on residential streets. These markings are not required for parking regulation, and our maintenance program focuses on regulatory and safety related pavement markings such as crosswalks, stop bars, centerlines, and ADA parking. Parking is still permitted along the block, and vehicles may continue to park as usual. If you have any questions or concerns about access, visibility, or safety, feel free to reach back out. Thank you!
Thank you for the clarification. I understand that individual residential parking lines are no longer part of the City’s regular pavement-marking program.
However, I would like to request a safety and visibility review for our block, based on the guidance you mentioned about access, visibility, and safety concerns. The fading of these lines has created some issues for our immediate neighbors that fit these categories and affect our street’s access and safety. It should be noted that this particular street is quite narrow and is a two-way street. The pavement markings serve a significant purpose on the street. Here are some additional details I’d like you to consider:
1. We have an elderly neighbor who relies on clearly defined parking space boundaries.
When cars drift into the space in front of her home, it can block their access or require her to walk farther than she needs to.
2. Several small children live and play on this part of the street.
Without visible parking lines, cars often park farther out into the street than before, reducing sightlines and making it harder for drivers to see children entering or exiting vehicles.
3. We have multiple college student renters on the block.
Turnover and unfamiliarity with the street lead to inconsistent spacing and irregular parking patterns. This sometimes reduces the usable width of the street and narrows driving lanes.
Given these access and safety considerations, would it be possible for the Traffic Division to assess whether refreshed pavement markings would improve visibility and organization on this block?
I appreciate your time and your help in keeping the neighborhood safe.
