Leaf Collection
- Case Date:
- 12/11/2013
Disappointed that the collection was so slow this year to the south side. We will be stuck with our leaves under the snow for the rest of winter.

818 S. Stull Ave--between 1st and Maxwell Lane: please remove the leaves while the students are away. in this one block, there are five or six huge piles which were covered with snow--interfering with parking and causing great problems with the snow and ice. Please remove asap. MEB
Mulched leaves can be emptied between the basketball court and the sidewalk behind the Lutheran church at East Third and Smith road. Mulch will be used at their garden nearby. A few loads of leaves were put there last winter. The leaves will be moved with a bucket loader. The leaf pickup driver in Park Ridge this week was agreeable if his supervisor approves.
Now that the snow is mostly gone, I hope that the leaf collection crews soon will be able to resume the work that was not finished before the winter started. Here are a couple of pictures of piles of leaves that are still out there on Linden Hill, The Stands, Heather, Jamie, Laura, Bainbridge, Allendale, the 800th block of Eastside Drive, High Street, Covenanter and Mitchell off First. Thanks so much.
There is a parking space on Cardinal Ct next to #921 that I use when I can't get in our driveway (I have a disability), but the snow plows have been piling the snow there. It also creates an obstacle for the mailman. Another place the snow got piled in the last storm was in front of our and our other neighbor's mailboxes, so that our mailman had to get out and climb over the mound of snow to deliver our mail, for a week or two after the last snow storm. I hate to complain, especially when there's a storm and a lot of extra work to do, but this seems dangerous for him. We live on a culdesac so there are other places the snow could be piled instead of these two spots, which would help us and our mailman greatly. Thank you for all you do!
523 Plymouth road just north on sidewalk. Inaccessible large gap between sidewalk pieces
On the sidewalk (north side of the street, just west of the Park/1st Street intersection): "Stop Rape" Also - across the street, several yard signs for candidates had been defaced.
Vulgar graffiti on sidewalk.
1) Traffic sign on Northbound Fess Ave. at 1st st. intersection (spray paint) 2) Traffic sign on Southbound Fess Ave. at 1st st. intersection (spray paint) 3) Sidewalk on West side of Fess Ave. between University and 1st st (spray paint) 4) Sign on North side of 1st st. between Fess and Henderson (spray paint) 5) Hholiday lights at my house, 823 S. Fess Ave., were sliced sometime between 1/11 PM and 1/12 PM.
Near the indicated location on the sidewalk on the north side of 1st street is spray painted a 4-letter expletive (F***) repeated about 10 times. This has been there for at LEAST 3 weeks now and it's not only offensive but a disgrace that it has been allowed to remain in our community for so long. Not only must it be doubly offensive to families walking with children but it sends the message that this is appropriate and tolerated in our city, especially as it's along a busy corridor.
