After the snow storm two weeks ago, the street in front of my house was cleared, but not the dead end part of Brookside Drive that is beside my house. I e-mailed Joe Van Deventer, Director of Street Operations, to ask if that was an error or a new policy. I received no reply. I need to know the answer, so that I can attempt to reverse the policy if the policy for clearing snow from dead end streets has changed. As you can see in the satellite photo, I was forced to hand shovel 40 yards of Brookside Dr. to "get out" even 2-3 days after the snow storm.

Hello, I am contacting the city to express my concern regarding the children of a neighbor in my area. They have two young toddlers who are often left outside unsupervised and I fear for their safety. My other neighbor has told me she often sees them playing in the street and has to tell them to come back to the sidewalk. I often hear them screaming at the top of their lungs for hours on end. The two kids have knocked and rang the doorbell of every person in my building and have come onto our private patios to damage our personal belongings. Any time I see them outside, I look for their parents, but can't seem to find them. I am truly worried for their safety and fear they could get hurt, especially if they're playing in the street. The address listed (1839 S Oakdale Dr) belongs to the parents of these kids. I'm reaching out to the city to make them aware of this situation. I am making this report anonymously.

I am a neighbor of this address. Twice in the past year, the two dogs who live at this property have been in the street and charged me and my dog. On another occasion, one of the dogs charged the property's fence and attempted to bite me by reaching *over* the fence. I have reported two of these instances to Animal Control. The last time (when the dog attempt to bite over the fence), the Animal Control officer told me that he had explained to the owners that their fence violates zoning by being too close to the sidewalk, and that the owners had expressed an intention to remove the fence in the front and keep the dogs in the back. However, I have heard, "We keep the dogs in the back" multiple times, when that is not true. The Animal Control Officer suggested that I could contact the city's zoning office, to have the fencing issue in the front yard addressed. I cannot find a way to contact Zoning specifically, so I am submitting the request here. FWIW, other people have had encounters with these dogs, though I don't know if they have reported it. Thank you.

Following up regarding the closing of ticket 1882595. The Animal Control Officer indicated that the fence was, by Zoning standards, too close to the sidewalk. (I.e., not that it wasn't tall enough.)

The road/sidewalk construction crew sprayed concrete on my car as I was driving down the street. I assume they were cleaning out the cement truck, but ended up spraying the hose as I drove by splattering my car with cement and rocks. I think it will all wipe off and not harden on the car, but I'm not exactly happy about it or having to clean it up.

There's a Bradford pear tree on the south side of the lot along Winslow Farm Drive that is damaged and has a low hanging branch over the sidewalk. I believe this is a City street tree.

The sidewalk is broken near the corner. The part that's broken is next to a "water" line. The sidewalk could be a problem for pedestrians, especially if they may have a visual disability or be wheelchair-bound. It may also be a problem for the waterline. Thank you for your help.
