alley off of Curry Pike before W 3rd that goes into Highland Village: The rental store often blocks the alley with their van almost daily. Also, the laundry mat blocks the alley with cars and uses the whole alley with about 5 people sorting clothes on a weekly basis.
There are two, unknown vehicles that have been parked for weeks on the public street. It is unclear whether they have been actually abandoned or not by their owners, but it has now been reported to the St. James Woods Neighborhood Association that these vehicles are posing security concerns for the neighbors. City ordinance "15.04.020 - Abandoned vehicle" states "A vehicle left on public property continuously without being moved for three days" meets the definition. Photo is attached...
Broken tree branch hanging over the street on 1st St at the NW corner of 1st and Woodlawn.
There is a large "road closed" barrier at the intersection of Rogers Street and Country Club Drive. Someone is posting additional advertisements on the barrier. Something about "Give God the controller."
Without any warning, the city has completely closed Walnut from Dodds to Hillside. People live here on walnut! We are not even given access to our homes let alone a warning that the street would be suddenly closed. There is no excuse for this.
There is a car that has been parking for the last six months on the North side of the street on Morningside Dr. at Smith Rd. It is a danger and menace to traffic entering and leaving Park Ridge East. Can this section of road be posted "No Parking"?
This is a continuing problem at 601 S. Woodlawn (the address above is as close as I could get on your map). Two weeks ago two large dead trees were causing a hazard, dropping limbs. Trees are covered with vines but have been dead for a long time. They continue to drop dead limbs. There is also a bad patch of poison ivy near the sidewalk, creating yet another hazard.
Every day this week one or more of the alleyways leading to our property (and our designated parking spot) has been blocked by a variety of vehicles, sometimes unloading materials, but more often simply parked in the alleyway for hours at a time. There is ample space to park on the street, and designated parking spots off the street for all the properties on the block, yet numerous people have decided to use the alleyway as parking instead. Today, it's a pickup truck and livestock trailer. GMC Sierra with Indiana plates: AAG248.
Two vehicles parked in alleyway for over 7 hours. 1. Black Ford pickup with Indiana plate TK882NIL 2. Silver Honda Accord with Indiana plate 256TDA
