On more than one occasion on a Wednesday morning, there has been a COB garbage truck coming through Sherwood Oaks neighborhood at a high rate of speed. I have witnessed this at least twice. The second time was this morning (9/28/22), at approximately 6:45am. The truck was travelling down Bainbridge from Allendale, and turned left onto Elliston Dr. At the 4 way stop at Bainbridge & Elliston, the driver barely slowed down & completely disregarded the stop sign. Then the driver went down Elliston speeding, presumably down to the park to get the trash there. I witnessed the truck coming back up Elliston a few minutes later, still driving too fast, and disregarding the stop sign again. I know it's early, but kids are picked up at the bus stop at that 4 way stop just a few minutes after 7am, and throughout the neighborhood. We also have a lot of people out exercising in the mornings, & there are no sidewalks on Elliston. Please address this with your staff, but feel free to contact me if you have questions or need clarification. We love our neighborhood & want to keep it safe for everyone.

2304 North Headley Road: Large amounts of garbage are piled outside in full-view from the public roadway and have been for weeks. Litter is often strewn across the front, back and sideyards, particularly after long parties attracting large numbers of college students obviously under drinking age.

This empty lot is on North Summit two lots South of 11th. This collection of garbage occurred from a camp during the last several months. The camp has since vacated and has relocated. The same result is sure to occur again unfortunately at a new location. This was reported at the beginning and was told nothing could be done and the neighborhood should work it out. This issue is destroying our city. Regardless of this being a private or city lot or in what area of the city this is taking place someone in city government needs to take ownership and provide the leadership and use of city resources to remedy this issue. Citizens and neighborhood associations can only do so much. Landlords and property owners need to be held accountable. Action needs to be taken. The problem is only getting worse. This case needs to remain active until this situation is resolved. A simple drive by is no solution. It’s obvious that if we cannot take care of the issues on Kirkwood (the focal point of our community) current department leaders are not qualified to continue in their positions. This can be remedied without being harsh or heavy handed. It takes leadership, commitment, communication and perseverance.

For some reason our recycling is not being picked up. It is not the auto truck given we live in Windermere woods and the truck with staff need to come through the ally. We have had it out 3 weeks (pickup is every week, we thought!) but for whatever reason it is not being emptied. Can someone help me understand what we may be doing wrong? 2602 E Windermere Woods Dr. Thank you.

The owner appears to be a hoarder. There are many old vehicles, equipment and junk all over the property. It is an eyesore and devalues the nearby properties.
