Thank you for the awesome community fireworks display downtown! It brought neighbors out onto our porches and sidewalks to witness the display over our Near Westside neighborhood.
I love the idea of continuing the fireworks display downtown in future years. It makes it so much more of a community event instead of something that happens on the outskirts of town. Chapeau to those who came up with the idea.
Traffic Related Complaints
3051 S Sare RD

You all changed the path and direction of northbound traffic at the roundabout at Sare and Rogers. As a result, traffic is backed up each morning and people are almost running into each other. Why the change? After all this time you just decide to change it? Really...? Another poor decision with regard to streets and traffic. It only makes morning commutes more difficult and unsafe. I can only image how congested this will make school bus traffic later this summer. You cannot fill in a pothole or repave a road, but you can change traffic markings on a roundabout after five (5) or six (6) years...?

I rode through on 4th heading west to east and encountered a fair amount of loose sand on the road surface. It is on 4th just east of Walnut.
That was around 10:30am. I have not been back through to see if it is still on the roadway.

I've been a regular walker in Park Ridge East and notice it looks like 212 N Sheffield has really started hording junk in the backyard, enough I can notice it on my walks growing over time. There are some odd tarped areas too. Anything the City staff can do? Hate to see the neighborhood get junky. Was hoping temporary construction but been a few years.

Construction is being done in Sherwood Oaks 2, in the Peppergrass condo area. There is a port-o-let that is smelling horrible at the corner of Peppergrass and Heather. Especially since it is so hot, the smell is stifling. No one has even been working at this site for at least 2 weeks. Can it be removed, or emptied?
Thank you!

Potholes, Other Street Repair
- Case Date:
- 7/2/2018
There is a roller coaster pothole on East Rhorer Road to the east of Walnut Street Pike. This has been filled many times but now has an edge to it that if hit just right will damage tires. We hit this on Sunday morning 7/1 and have a tire with a sidewall bulge that will have to be replaced. Am sure this pothole has been reported before. Is there any compensation for damage to our tire? Thanks!
