I’m trying to request the emergency/urgent request of the streetlight across from my home. It’s been out for awhile, and I also contacted DOT about trimming the trees/foliage blocking the speed limit sign and the undergrowth that was blocking the streetlights ability to do what it’s meant to do prior to the light going out. I am now requesting an URGENT replacement of the light due to safety concerns that began Monday night when I was attacked at the gas station nearby. I’ve had a lot of unknown vehicles passing my home at all times of the night, but can’t see enough to give any significant info to the officer who took my report. I am concerned under the circumstances that the people involved may continue to retaliate and I’m even more concerned for my kids. I have a blink camera and a ring doorbell, but neither can show any detail without that light. Not to mention the neighborhood is completely dark unless the neighbors turn on their porch lights, which I can’t make them do. Add in the fact that we’ve had coyotes and large bucks in the area, having such a dark street can be dangerous for pedestrians and drivers at night, especially since my home sits on the wrong side of a blind curve. PLEASE get this taken care of immediately. I’ve done everything I can on my end. Now I’m dependent on you. Thank you in advance.

The alleyway between 6th and 5th, specifically behind this address would benefit greatly from a streetlight. New residences with off-alley parking and commercial businesses nearby would benefit from the added safety and convenience of a street light. Thank you

All the light posts along E Cottage Grove Ave stretching from the start of the road near Woodlawn Ave to Indiana Ave the light posts are defective radiating a blue/purple light that is not safe when it’s a block from a big ten campus. It actually makes it more eerie and more difficult to see when walking at night. Please replace these immediately, it’s a safety hazard.

I would like to request the consideration of a streetlight for the block of N Fess Ave between E 9th St and E 10th St. I frequently walk through this block late on Thursday evenings, and it is the one block in the area that is truly dark. Other streets are well lit, but walking through this block is truly very dark and feels a bit unsafe. I've attached a photo of said block, although it's worth noting that my phone left the shutter open for longer when taking it, and thus in reality the block is darker than the photo would seem to indicate.

The streetlight on this corner at Ninth and Jackson has been burnt out for literally years. People continue to dump trash, steal things from my porch, and cause trouble in this corner because it is so dark. Please for the love of god, replace the street light in this corner.

I live at 117 S.Heritage Rd in Park Ridge area. To avoid risk to crash into the vehicles parked on Heritage Rd, I turned into Morningside from 3rd street, then Park Lane, meadow brook, back to Morningside then into Heritage. When the time I turned into Morningside, it’s like from a bright hallway into a dark theater. Once I almost turn into the grass area. The street lights in Park Ridge area are old fashioned. The ones in Park Ridge East with low warm light are much better. The area I passed are all dark even with people’s own light, hard for drivers to see people walking their dogs in the night.
