On Driscoll, there has been an orange lift parked on the yellow curb for past month. Been causing issue with traffic trying to turn east from walnut. Also cars continue to try and park on yellow. Please monitor this on a daily basis. I’ve waited because I figured the city would have said something but apparently not.
There was a handbill on my car, under the windshield wiper, in the 4th St. Garage today (image of front of bill attached, the other side is an ad for an event at the Upstairs Pub) as I left from work around 2:45. I noticed on the way out many other cars had the same handbill. I looked up municipal code 14.28.060 to see that it is unlawful to affix advertisements to automobiles in the city. I also saw on a City Solicitor Factsheet that solicitors are not allowed to operate in city owned parking lots or spots of any variation. Can someone follow up with the business to hold them accountable? Thank you.
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.

Attempted to contact Center Point but had no luck. The gas shutoff valve in front of Inkwell has its handle not secured by a padlock. Needs to be secured before someone decides to play with it. Regards, Craig
Hello, I would like to give feedback on some unfortunate observations recently on Kirkwood Avenue and the surrounding streets. This took place last Friday evening around 8:30. We took a stroll after dinner to walk around the downtown area, and it was the first time in 20 years of living here, I felt unsafe. I witnessed people doing drugs, drinking on the street, and what appeared to be a drug deal, right on Kirkwood. I have to say I have come to expect public intoxication from college age students, but I think the police do a very good job of handling those cases. The people involved in the activities I mentioned are not college students. Most looked like they could be homeless or struggling in some way. I understand there is no easy solution. These people need therapy, but they have to be willing to try to improve their lives. I'm not advocating arresting the people. I do think a stronger police presence is needed in these busy areas. I'd recommend posting cadets or others in uniforms strategically in the area. Maybe better lighting and security cameras would help. Thanks, Aaron Perry
Over occupancy complaint for the HAND. This home has at least four tenants judging by who is regularly at the house. It is rented for $1,800/month which would also suggest more than three as the average at the high end is $500/bedroom and these homes are next to campus. Please investigate.

I LITERALLY just chased these punk ass mother fucking kids from my front door. I fell asleep in my front room. I woke up to voices and shadows on the porch. I had an open door, but my screen was shut. Lights were on inside, but the porch light was not. There were three, early 20s, white males. They ran up the street when I came out yelling.
