The mid-block alley between 10th & cottage grove has had a car parked in it for 48 hours. It never leaves. Everyone in the block uses this alley to egress over 50 apartments if going south. It is a very well-used alley. This person has turned it into their personal parking spot.
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.
Ford Broncho with Illinois plates (see attached) parked in alley behind house to the south.
Not clear if this is the responsibility of 308 or 310, but there is a weedy tree on the south end of the property line between these two lots that has grown out a lot, so much so that it is hard to drive down the alley at this point, especially when there are tons of cars parked back there.
The business at 114 E 6th St consistently has the alley at the side of their business blocked with trash cans and boxes.
Overflowing dumpster blocking alley. Recurring problem.
This truck was parked fully blocking the 7 line on August 20 at approximately 10 AM.
CONSTANT double parked cars with flashers on throughout the day and evening from Chipotle to Lennies. Something needs to be done. Ticketing drivers as this forces driving in the opposite lane and makes parking at the local restaurants impossible. Cars remain parked in the street blocking traffic for 15-30 minutes throughout the day and evening. This is hurting local businesses.
A car has been parking partially in the alley (E Alice Street) making it more difficult to use adjacent alleys and parking areas.
