The guy lives in this house, keeps working on cars all up and down the street. Taking other people’s places to park on all street parking. It’s difficult once again to get through the onslaught of cars, he has parked up and down the street. I kicked him out of somebody else’s driveway the other day cause he just decided to park the car in their driveway and it’s one of my properties for my property management. I’m responsible for. It’s ridiculous that several people on this block have expressed their concerned about this yet. It’s still going on. now he’s on as the picture shows, the opposite side of the street working on a truck in front of somebody else’s house that’s not even his general parking area. This is getting frustrating and out of hand I’m going to file a complaint against the city with a petition, signed behind it with everybody else’s name on it because this is not getting dealt with correctly. I’ve ran them off in front of my house, blocking my driveway, and I don’t even live within two houses of him. He’s working on vehicles all throughout the day and we can’t even get through the road sometimes due to doors wide open.

Running some sort of car business out of the home. At least 7 cars parked all along the road with random people working on cars day and night on the street. No place to park. Looks like trash. Car parts and debris everywhere all the time. Not appropriate for a neighborhood at all

Used care repair business still going on. Cars being delivered and picked up on a regular basis, several mechanics working on cars until late at night, continues. Apparently this has been an issue that the city keeps “resolving” but nothing is changing. What is going on? why is this being allowed to continue for years. From the records, this house has had several complaints that the city resolves but remains unchanged. This individual used the street and parking spaces for his own private used care business. Property Taxes are way too high for this to be happening. The person in charge of these complaints is not doing his/her job at all.

I have reported this problem to the City several times, but nothing has ever been done about it. There is a used car business being operated out of a house at 1316 S. Palmer Ave. Deliveries of used cars and trucks arrive every week, and more often than that. The owner of the business has workers working who are always in the street. The vehicles and the workers block traffic, and it is unsafe for the workers refurbishing the used cars and trucks. In fact, that block of Palmer has become a one-lane street. The cars and trucks are parked up and down the street at all times. The place itself is trash heap. I own a house in the 1400 block, only two doors south of this used car lot, and my property value is diminished because of it. This would NEVER be allowed in any other residential neighborhood in the city. There are constantly many used cars and trucks coming and going as they get refurbished and sold. I've had enough. Please do your work.

Please install traffic lights at Hillside and Highland. At times, it takes forever to be able to turn westbound onto Hillside from Highland because traffic is oftentimes constant. This is a dangerous crossing, and there are many residents and YMCA traffic coming through here.

The public storm sewer on the side of my house is very much overgrown. The ragweed (which I'm allergic to) is at least 4 feet high. The ditch probably needs to be cleared and widened as well. I reported the widening and talked with city about this almost 2 years ago. We have frequent flooding problems in our back yard.

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.
