Blocked Street

intersection at W 8th street and N fairview street

Case Date:
4/16/2026

I live at 319 N. Fairview St at the SW corner of W 8th and N Fairview St. Yesterday afternoon, Wednesday April 15, around 3.30 or 4pm the school was releasing the students and the usual long line of parent cars was lined along 8th street. I had driven west, up 8th St, past the school, to the intersection where I usually turn right to park in front of my house. Usually drivers don't block the intersection and this allows a smooth drive through in all 4 directions. Yesterday however when I reached the intersection where I take a left turn in order to park, I found a car parked right across the street blocking all north south traffic. Normally drivers in line keep the lanes open. The driver of this car wasn't moving because he couldn't. Eventually he was able to move enabling my left turn and a north facing school bus to continue on its way. I parked my car and went over to the male crossing guard and asked him why had permitted the driver of the car to block the street. He completely ignored me and was uncommunicative. So, I want to know what responsibilities the crossing guard had and has. His job is about safety I believe so why would he permit a car, part of a long line of waiting vehicles to block egress. His silence and unwillingness to engage with me really annoyed and I suggest you find him another job not involving public safety. I'm not being vindictive I just want people to take their job and role seriously. And, no children were around while this was going on. Robert Harman.

I have filed numerous complaints. Neighbors are frustrated with this house. Using a residential neighborhood as a commercial site blocking people’s abilities to park in front of even their own houses due to the people he has coming in working on these vehicles or parking all up and down the street. All hours of the day and night getting deliveries blocking driveways for periods of time while doing pick ups or delivery. Now they’re painting vehicles outside on the street area that’s causing overspray which I’ve already caused an issue on my last car I had. They shouldn’t be spray painting anything outside with all these vehicles out here. The next complaint goes higher up whatever it is this has got to stop. They block roads with doors open all the time working on these vehicles, you can never get through or even go that way sometimes to get out of the neighborhood. It’s ridiculous. We shouldn’t have to go through this we all pay. Our mortgage is just like everyone else please rectify this situation. Neighbors have stated this guy has done this for years and no one has been able to stop him from doing it. It is a issue that needs to be addressed immediately.

There is a construction cut in the road on 17th that is really deep to go over. There weren’t any signs warning of a big bump. The car behind me severely swerved out of the way to miss it. This is move in week, this is a dangerous situation!

810 W 7th ST

Case Date:
1/3/2022

The North/South alley between 810 W. 7th and 804 W. 7th is being encroached upon by gardens, woodpiles, trees/vegetation and possibly the fence and cinder block garage owned by 810 W 7th St. As a result, the alley traffic is being diverted outside of the alley right of way and onto the private property located at 804 W. 7th. This appears to have been going on for a number of years. As the new owner of 804 W. 7th St., it is my full intention to re-claim the property/property line currently being encroached upon and proceed with renovations. I request that the Street Dept contact the owner of 810 W. 7th and order the encroachments be removed. With the assistance of a surveyor, I have located the NW and SW corner pins delineating the right of way and pounded new T posts just outside of the right of way in those spots and plan to post the entire property line once the encroachments are removed. Were I to reclaim the property line today, the alley would become impassible due to said encroachments. I request your assistance in remedying this situation in a civil and legal manner, as requests to the homeowner of 810 W.7th have fallen upon deaf ears. I request that you keep me in the loop regarding this issue. I would be happy to meet with a representative of the street dept, with survey in hand, to assist in clarifying and remedying this issue, as renovations of 804 W. 7th will begin in a few weeks. Thank you for your attention in this manner, Sincerely, Rick Laux Goldfinch Properties LLC Van Zile LLC 812/606-8332 [email protected]
