See case #205800. Deck was rebuilt and now it is in violation of setbacks. Your site only allows one picture to be uploaded. Attached is what the deck looked like before. You can drive by and see what is looks like now. When they rebuilt it they extended it almost all the way to the sidewalk, and lately it has been covered with a tent and the tenants use it to party outside in full view of everyone. This is ridiculous, but it is Brawley so it is not unexpected...

Not sure which category this belongs under. Recently, Brawley (of course) tore out the little deck on the front of this building and then replaced it with a huge deck that completely covers the front yard all the way to the sidewalk. Attached is a picture what it used to look like. It looked junky, but the new one looks like something a restaurant along 4th Street would have for customers to sit outside and eat in. Is it even legal for them to do this in a residential area? Did they get a permit to do this?

See case #204983. That one was for a "For Rent" sign put up by Brawley in the ROW in front of 508 N. Washington. Apparnetly, they have been informed but they have done nothing about it and the sign remains after a month. Now, "Cedarview" (+ "10th & College") has done the same thing - signs in the ROWs all over town. Lincoln/10th, for example, but others downtown. The question is: since these signs have been left on public property, are they considered trash? And if so, can anyone just pick them up and toss them in a dumpster? Give us permission to do that and we will be happy to take care of them as residents and not wait the weeks (months!) for HAND or Planning to address the issue with the perpetrators.
Blocked Street
310 E Cottage Grove AVE
- Case Date:
- 9/2/2025
Because of all the new construction in the area, there are a *huge* number of cars now vying for the limited spaces. The result is that people are parking in places they shouldn't, and backyards have become parking lots. This location is only one example. On the alley south of the house, over the weekend there was a Lexus with Illinois plates (AC7_2559) parked in the alley, blocking it. At other times (including this morning) another vehicle was parked in the same location (dark red Hyundai Santa Fe, photo attached). This problem will only get worse if Planning continues to allow developers to increase density in this area. There are already *NO* parking spots available on the streets. None. Zilch. It is no wonder people are parking in the alleys.
Biking & Walking
2530 N Fritz DR
- Case Date:
- 9/2/2025
Cars cut through Matlock Heights to avoid the light at Walnut/Bypass. We need traffic calming here to slow traffic down. Cars are driving at high speeds and not watching out for walkers and children biking. This has been a major issue during the construction which is happening now on Walnut and the Bypass, but is also year round.
