Cars parked blocking Dodds
This truck has been here, seemingly abandoned, for over 2 weeks. The front-left suspension is broken. There is debris and leaking oil underneath the truck. It is facing the wrong direction for the side of the street it is on. It's a fair distance from the sidewalk, somewhat obstructing the street. It is partially blocking a driveway. The vehicle was issued a ticket last week. I'm including a photo of the license plate for identification purposes.
On the northeast corner of the intersection of S Washington and E Wylie, there is a long yellow curb. There are always 2-3 cars parked at this curb, which makes it hard to see oncoming traffic when crossing over Washington heading west on E Wylie St. I was nearly hit this past weekend when a car was speeding down S Washington and wasn't visible due to all the parked cars.
There used to be a no parking sign on the west side of Grant Street on the block just north of Hillside, but it isn't there anymore. The residents all park on the east side of the street except for some new tenants who don't know about this convention. The extra cars on the west side of the street make the street narrow enough that it would be impassable to fire trucks (and probably even the sanitation trucks).
In the westbound lane of Grimes just west of Woodlawn there is a tree limb hanging down into the road. It is not blocking the street in the sense that it is impassable, but this was the best option it seemed. The branch can hit a car or SUV in the windshield and/or roof as you drive by. It is pretty low and needs removed.
Non running older dark blue Volvo car with no license plate has been parked on the street for a month. Residents in the specific area such as myself are frustrated with parking being taken for someone who lives in the townhouses across street from 812 s Washington st that has its own parking lot.
Truck with license plate TK993NSS is parked in No Parking zone, making it very difficult to see oncoming traffic on Hillside. It has been like this for 24 hours.
A house located at the corner of East Wylie Street and S. Grant Street has erected "no parking" signs along Wylie in order to allow a large truck and car trailer (with demolition derby cars) to park there as needed. When the truck is there, it is difficult to two cars to pass each other on this narrow street. Is this legal?
Truck on parked Washington completely blocking Driscoll. Cars turning onto Driscoll blocked. Asked truck owner to please move. His response was "F... you, call a cop !"
