There are not any street lights in the alley behind my house. We had a break-in this week in the back of our house, and I think having street lights in the alley could have prevented it. Being back there at night is very creepy, and anyone could come attack us at night when we are trying to get in our back door. For safety reasons, I feel like it is important to that back there.
In light of a lot of recent attempted home invasion activity along this block, having street lights in the alley between 10th and Cottage Grove is a necessary safety measure. It is incredibly dark in the alley and a perfect target for home invasions.
The back of our house was broken into a couple of nights ago (all doors locked and while we were all home) and we feel as though if the back alley was more lit up it may have deterred the suspect from approaching our home. There was also a very similar situation of an attempted break in last week two houses down from ours. It is extremely dark in the alley, especially with the wooded area being back there - perfect for people to hide in. We would feel a lot safer if lights could be installed asap. Thank you.
Street lights have been out for more than a week on Walnut from 10th street to the railroad overpass north of 12th.
On the east side of Walnut Street, the last three streetlights just before the 10th street intersection are out. This was observed on Oct 16th, 2017 at roughly 10:45pm
Missing street sign from NE corner of Cottage Grove and Washington.
There is a mound of black plastic bags full of trash on the SE corner of this property, on the 11th Street side.
Several houses in neighborhood recently emptied out and the tenants put all their trash in a large pile on 12th Street outside this house. Who is responsible for removing it? Some addresses involved were 201, 207 and 209 E. 12th Street.
