The new apartment complex at the corner of walnut and Driscoll. There was no space for parking added for parallel parkers so when they park, it turns Driscoll into a one lane street which is dangerous for those turning onto Driscoll from walnut when they are met with vehicle traveling west on Driscoll. Also, they are parking all the way to walnut blocking the sidewalk ramp and the fire hydrant .
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 !"
I have repeatedly asked my neighbors at 717 S. Park Ave. not to block the alley with their cars. They continue to do so as illustrated in the attached photo, taken 8/30 at about 11:30am. The alley was blocked much of yesterday 8/29 as well.
The traffic light for Catalent at Fairview & Patterson needs to be fixed! It is set up for Catalent, but on down times it backs up traffic on Patterson. The light on Patterson changes every four seconds! Fix it!
Four or five abandoned vehicles on the street with homeless living inside some and tearing apart others to sell parts. ALSO, one large trash bin on the side of the road. I asked J and B Disposal to place it out from the side of the road and they don't know where to put it. The bin has both lids missing and trash blows down the street onto my property. My family and visitors have to SQUEEZE between abandoned vehicles and a trash bin.
There's a dumpster in the street, and a truck has been parked across from it for several days. It's very narrow for a car or truck to drive through, and a larger vehicle probably couldn't get through at all. There's nothing wrong with the way the truck is parked. The problem is the dumpster. It shouldn't be there.

There is a recurring problem at this intersection. Drivers heading west on 3rdSt/46 and turning south onto College Mall Rd routinely block the eastbound traffic on 3rd St by blocking the intersection after their turn light turns red. Tonight the intersection was blocked for the eastbound traffics entire green light. The Do Not Block the Intersection signs go unnoticed or unheeded. I’ve contacted the Mayors office before and my complaint was forwarded to someone who couldn’t/wouldn’t do anything to address the problem. I’ve contacted the Police Department who said it wasn’t a priority and they didn’t have the manpower to do anything even if it was a priority. My suggestion is to make the Do Not Block the Intersection signs more noticeable and to shorten the duration of the left turn signal for those turning south onto College Mall Rd from the westbound 3rd St lanes. Thank you.
