Citizen says he took some trash to landfill between 11:30-11:45 on Tuesday, Sept. 3. Said while he was on the scales, a City Sanitation truck came up behind him, driver got out and started screaming and cursing at him. Says driver had long dark curly hair. Says City employees should not behave this way.
FYI--Mr. Rogers called to complain about several officers actions during an incident in which he was assaulted. He filed an internal complaint form w/ BPD & has not heard back. He is "disgusted" w/ the way BPD has handled this case & wants to speak to the Mayor. I told him that he shld allow for all the steps in the complaint process to run their course. Mr. Rogers said he wld contact Brd Public Safety, but expected to receive a phone call from the Mayor. He stated he wld call Channel 6.
Mr. Bell called very upset saying basically that on a 1998 December evening, after having an argument with someone, was arrested by a blonde-haired officer working the night shift (he named either Officer Kellams or Helms). Apparently, the person with whom he was having the argument called the police, who then detained him with handcuffs and started "beating/assaulting him." Mr. Bell had several other issues he was struggling to resolve, and has an apparent court date on 1/ 22.
Thank you for the awesome community fireworks display downtown! It brought neighbors out onto our porches and sidewalks to witness the display over our Near Westside neighborhood. I love the idea of continuing the fireworks display downtown in future years. It makes it so much more of a community event instead of something that happens on the outskirts of town. Chapeau to those who came up with the idea.
Re: Case #165561 Some debris from the accident remains near the RR underpass. Trash and weeds are still on Adams, and on Fountain, and on 8th Streets. Streets near the university at least get swept. Can the City seal the streets, so the weeds won't grow?
Flow at 10th across campus needs improved. Slow speed is fine but not clogs. Particularly Spea/Wells walk and then left at Union.
Slow but flowing traffic is safer and more pleasant for everyone compared to stop and sprint jams on 10th. Put a signal or over or underpass at SPEA/Wells crosswalk and a left turn signal at Union and 10th on 10th Street. Thank you.
Apartment Complexes in the area? Why is it that the apartments have the sidewalk on the outside of the building cleaned but the inside court yards NOTHING is cleaned? I have seen several of the lower class apartment complexes people must pay rent on time yet when we have bad weather we still get no credit for being people living in the buildings? We are not appreciated cause we are LOWER CLASS? discrimination to me. Where is the R E S P E C T FOR US!!!!
Can the bus slow down a bit on Morningside Drive please? Scared a kid will get hit. I appreciate the speedy service and option in the neighborhood, but also value our pets and kids not expecting a big bus to zip by. Thank you!
Is the Mayor's State of the City address from Feb 21, 2019 available online? Thank you.
