Potholes, Other Street Repair
910 S Highland AVE
- Case Date:
- 11/20/2014
(Not really "street repair" but I couldn't find the right category):
The eastbound Stop sign on Maxwell @ Highland, in Elm Heights, is OFTEN ignored.
I have seen cars race right through it without even the pretense of slowing down. On foot, I have jumped out behind the car as it sped on, waving my hands and shouting "STOP SIGN!!", and once a driver waved an acknowledgment. Another time, driving north on Highland, I turned and followed the offender, honking and blinking my lights hoping s/he would notice that someone had noticed and be alert next time.
The Stop sign is quite visible, not obscured by overhanging trees, so I am stumped. But I wonder if it could be moved closer to the road, enlarged, painted (the post too) a more neon/catchy red, and/or moved to the CENTER of the intersection (tricky for the snowplows, I know), and/or a "Stop-sign alert" sign added well before, or maybe it could be removed altogether with appropriate alerts posted for the north/south drivers, which might be safer than assuming people will stop. This is a potentially lethal situation for drivers, bikers, and walkers in a very pedestrian-heavy neighborhood. Thanks.
Water Utility Billing Problems
- Case Date:
- 12/19/2014
Please help me to understand my water bill and why I am continuing to be charged.
My name is Bob Schimp account # 33653-019 and own 522 Graham Place.
Parker Real Estate manages the property and has continued to pay the utility bills sent to them. They have been instructed not to have the water turned on.
The previous tenant was evicted and left a water bill of $159 and the water was disconnected for non-payment.
In September or October I was working in the unit and a man from your office arrived and turned the water on, I immediately went to the office and asked for the water to be turned off. I was told the water would be automatically turned on and billed to me as the owner unless I signed a form at your office which I did (the signed form is on file in your office).
The water is currently OFF and has not been turned on since being shut off for non-payment, even as you continue to bill me for water usage.
Please under NO circumstances turn the water on as the condo has been remodeled with new carpet paint and kitchen fixtures. Until pressure checks are completed water leaks may damage the new construction.
I also ask that you not turn on water until the arrears from the previous tenant is paid and I not be charged while the service has been disconnected.

On the southeast corner of the intersection. on the side of the pole facing the courthouse, there are 2 bare wires exposed. My brother and I noticed it last night (12/23/2014) around 6pm. This is on the traffic signal green post. Looks dangerous!

Customer called in to Parks and Recreation office complaining about shrubbery on the B-Line trail blocking the yellow flashing light warning drivers of bikers. He did not want to write in a complaint, insisted I do it, because he is a senior and he wanted to report the issue via his landline.
