Mr. Johnson complained that he had "somewhat of an animal emergency" but was unable to get through to the Animal Control/Shelter. I talked to the Shelter, and apparently they are short 4 staff members and are very busy. When I said that I'd received a complaint they apologized but said that it was important to leave a message, which the gentelman appraently did not do.

Citizen says after trash/recycling pickup on Tuesday her cans and bins were scattered all over and, broken glass was left in the street and a non-accepted piece of plastic was thrown in the yard. J.A. explained that often these things happen after the crew leaves, but we would make them aware of it.
Mr. Shields called to complain about missed trash and recycling pick ups, but also described calling the sanitation office and dealing with a "rude" employee when discussing these issues.

I received a phone call from a resident of the Near West Side neighborhood, who wanted the City to know how much he appreciated the Brighten B-Town crew that was recently working on his street. They cleaned up the yard in front of a vacant home and edged and cleaned the cracks in the sidewalks up and down the block. The resident frequently walks in his neighborhood, and has noticed improvements throughout. Kudos to the Public Works department!
