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.

Several potholes are continuing to get worse at this intersection. When turning onto Windsor Dr. from Arden, it is impossible to avoid these jokes without traveling into the opposite lane. Hank Duncan (City Bicycle Coordinator) told our subdivision last fall that the City would be redoing the streets during the Greenway project, but it has yet to be started. I left a voice mail for him 2 weeks ago, asking about the plan, but he has not responded. Please contact me.
Johnson grass is seeded and growing N of the Speedway gas station to the E of N Walnut St. Could that noxious weed be sprayed to hopefully reduce it from spreading via seeds and roots?
Landscaper could not locate the water meter for this location. The landscaping company is trying to split the irrigation from the meter at 1516 S Walnut Street.
