Owner of burned out house has erected a tent in the front yard encroaching on the road at a tight turn. It's a narrow street to begin with. House is a hazard, too. Trash and rodents piling up. There are small children living next door and lots of kids run around the neighborhood. I'm sure there are a million ways they can hurt themselves on this unsafe property.
Because of all the new construction in the area, there are a *huge* number of cars now vying for the limited spaces. The result is that people are parking in places they shouldn't, and backyards have become parking lots. This location is only one example. On the alley south of the house, over the weekend there was a Lexus with Illinois plates (AC7_2559) parked in the alley, blocking it. At other times (including this morning) another vehicle was parked in the same location (dark red Hyundai Santa Fe, photo attached). This problem will only get worse if Planning continues to allow developers to increase density in this area. There are already *NO* parking spots available on the streets. None. Zilch. It is no wonder people are parking in the alleys.
12th St. Between Indiana Ave. and Walnut St. is a two-way street, but two cars can't safely drive on the street at the same time because the street isn't wide enough to accommodate two lanes of traffic and street parking. Often you have to pull over to let people through because the street isn't wide enough, and I've almost lost a mirror because someone was too close several times.
Once again construction equipment has the alley blocked in the Alley between 6th & Kirkwood Avenue North of College Avenue. This continued issue is causing ongoing issues for the businesses on College to get deliveries and to have trash removed.
