The last couple of times we've visited the Switchyard park to play Bocce, the benches along the courts were overrun with people sleeping, drinking, and smoking. Not a very inviting or family friendly atmosphere. We also witnessed the same behaviours, along with what appeared to be drug use in the shelter house next to the playground. Will there be any enforcement of the rules at the park?
I tried to call but no one answered but i just wanted to urge y'all to vote no against the ban for tents. It's already getting cold out winter time is an inhuman and fucked up time to even propose this. That's all thanks
Reported several times but white Rubicon van remains parked in grass at 302 Park Ridge. Can't see follow up comments anymore in reports. Did something change? Also trailer now in front yard of 300 Park Ridge.
I walked by a city parking enforcement official this afternoon, idling in his vehicle while socializing with a second man leaning into the open driver's side window to converse with the parking official while his own vehicle idled across the street. Neither man was wearing a mask despite their proximity. The official was driving Parking Enforcement vehicle number 250, and this was at about 1:25 PM on Hawthorne, just north of Hunter near campus. It would be good if city employees could be encouraged to take pandemic precautions more seriously, particularly when on the job, to prevent unnecessary danger to the community and other city personnel during this dire point in the crisis.
Abandoned Kmart reminds an eyesore on eastside with more and more cars parked there. Seems to be an industrial/service parking lot right now. Could be sooooo much better utilized for a busy bustling part of town near the mall. Nice to emphasize walking space and green space there but some restaurants/retail/hotel and perhaps commercial or housing too. Please provide incentives for development since a number of years now. Or a nice planning group like has happened in other redevelopment sites. Thank you!
Speed enforcement request for enhanced law enforcement monitoring of E 3rd St east of Smith. Folks go CRAZY fast there (recent death) despite it being a lower speed zone adjacent to neighborhoods and an ice cream shop, etc. Fine to go 40. NOT fine to go 80.
I just read that vaccines will go to 80, 70, then 60 years of age. However, why are immune compromised individuals not yet included? They are often also still in the workforce and in greater contact with others in the community at risk of both spreading and receiving the virus. Please ensure they are included in the priority listing. I don't know how to message the health people so please don't tell me to talk to them and the Mayor has more sway anyways.
Hello. We received notice that our street is looking at a traffic calming preapplication. It appears criteria include items such as police reports. Though that sort of data is important please please consider that reality is beyond just what the data paint. We pushed two cars out that drove into our yard in the snow already this week on east morningside and just now noticed another individual going much much too fast down the road while texting. Please look at the experiences of those who live on the street, complaints, maybe even photos households have, and otherwise solicit input of residents on the affected possible roads for improvements. Thank you.
We getting a refund for cancelled sanitation this week? Thank you.
Please I'm tired of the street racing in park ridge east late at night. They're at it again. Have called police before. Please put a speed bump in or have cops bust them or something.
