Large limb fell from the tree and is hanging over the sidewalk dangerously
Hello! I'm not sure if this is the appropriate way to address this but I have an issue with construction debris. I live on South Madison Street between Grimes/Patterson and Hillside. The warehouse that runs the length of the street (between us & Switchyard Park) appears to be doing some sort of construction or remodeling. The top half of the outside wall was partially removed by them and more came down during the storms a couple of weeks ago. This siding and other items have been left at the end of our lots. In addition, we now have graffiti to look at which is a first in the over twenty years that I've lived in this house. Not only is it an eyesore but I can't take a lawnmower into that area. It's been weeks now & the owners aren't doing anything about it. I would greatly appreciate it if something can be done to get this mess cleaned up and to ensure that they clean up after themselves in the future. Thank you very much!

There is a kroger shopping cart in the river, you can clearly see it from the bridge
Property owners at 2500(elderly) have multiple ramshackle sheds in their backyard, wired with power but undoubtedly not up to code. Their fence bordering 2504 is literally made from garbage and is falling apart into the yard of 2504. Its a Fire hazard and a pest hazard, I see raccoons and opossum going in and out of their shanty town sheds all the time.
Homeowners at 2502 have fence that is falling apart into the property of 2504. Their "sheds" in their backyard are wired for electricity but undoubtedly not to code. Not to mention the major health hazard from the raccoons and opossum that come and go from the shantytown as they please. Fire hazard, health hazard, eyesore.

We hired Douglas Fowler to come clear out our huge fallen tree and his crew cleaned up the side walk as well. So the city crew just needs to come and get their two orange cones. :)
On Thursday afternoon, the storm brought down half of our huge sugar maple tree. It fell across the road closing Rockport Rd completely. Neighbors and my husband, Steve Cook, cut and cleared the road. Your road crew came by and put cones on either end of the sidewalk and said they would be back the next day to clear the sidewalk, but they did not come – no blame at all as we are sure they were plenty busy. We wanted to make sure there was a record of this work still needing to be done. Feel free to call and leave a message. An arborist will be coming to ascertain the rest of the tree and the removal of the giant from our yard, although with thunderstorms all Saturday, I don't expect it will be today. Thank you.
