HOLE FORMING IN SIDEWALK
There is a tree line along the north edge of the property that supposed to be preserved. Mr. Fritz reported that the snow fencing is down and that there is trash and equipment in the drip line. Mr. Fritz also said that there has been some damage to particular tree limbs due to construction equipment.
REFERRED BY STREET DEPT: THERE IS A HOLE IN THE BLACKTOP AT THE CORNER OF HIGHLAND AVENUE & MILLER DRIVE (HIGHLAND HOMES SUBDIVISION). PER STREET DEPT. IT SEEMS THAT THE SEWER LINE WAS NOT COMPACTED BEFORE IT WAS COVERED BY BLACKTOP. THE SIDEWALK AS WELL AS THE ROAD APPEAR TO BE SINKING IN. IT DOES SEEM LIKE SOMEONE, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHO, HAS BEEN OUT LOOKING AT THE PROBLEM.
Citizen claims that snow plow killed her grass. Says street dept. came out and planted grass seed across the street for a similar problem but did not plant seed in her yard. Wants to know if we plan to do this before winter.
Owns duplexes on Wolf Lane (private road off Headley Road). Upset that she pays city taxes and can't get city services. If she gets release & hold harmless agreement, will we do leaf pick up and snow removal on Wolf Lane? Lives in Longview and has same complaint - new administration changed policy so that they don't get leaf pick up. Never needed agreement before (she talked to Don Grubb). She's a heckuva campaigner and will make sure Mayor is not reelected.
Mr. Prosser is a bicyclist. In October he sent Jim Sherman a letter inspired by the recent BPD brochure on bicycles. He notes that BMC 15.56.020, which prohibits bicycles with a wheel radius of over 14" from riding on the sidewalk, in effect allows all bicycles to be ridden on the sidewalk. He suggests that the code be amended to read "diameter." He also suggests that, in the future, the brochure correctly use "wheelbase." Please refer to B&PSC and the Traffic Commission. Thank You.
