The alleyway that runs behind our house at 422 East Cottage Grove, between 10th and Cottage Grove has been extremely dangerous this year. It is very dark and my car, and two of my roommate's cars have been broken into. There was also a car that suspiciously caught on fire and completely burned two nights ago. The alley behind my house is by far the most dangerous part of walking home at night, and I don't feel safe going to my car parked back there at night. We have also had attempted break-ins and many thefts from our porch and surrounding the house.

We would like a street light put in on the telephone pole across from our house (on 6th St between Adams and Ritter). There is a definitive dark spot in this area. Our house had an attempted robbery last night and our cars have been broken into numerous times - I believe that the dark part of the street may be a factor in some of this. If there was a street light, it may deter some crime. Other neighbors have reported their cars being broken into as well.

The crest of the hill on 8th street has inadequate lighting. People on the sidewalk are invisible for security purposes, and cannot see obstacles to walk safely. A neighbor hit my car door because he could not see it. People leave their porch lights on all night, so we have some visibility.
