The gentleman that owns the 3 dilapidated white houses across from Fountain drive. Has repeatedly violated trash pickup rules and left unbagged trash and debris on the sidewalk. When the city did not pick up the strewn trash he left he came back this after noon (7/1/25 @ 6:20pm) and kicked the remaining trash into the street.
A business has moved into the former Sterling Glass building at this address. They have placed a large blue dumpster on the lawn at the west edge of their property. According to 20.05.067 of the UDO this dumpster is supposed to be enclosed and on pavement. The property is zoned CG.
Request for a crosswalk be painted at 11th and Fee crossing 11th. That's a heavily trafficked area and there's no crosswalk.
The pole in the center island on 10th street in front of SPEA / Main Library has been broken off.
I live north of town in Fairwood Terrace. Multiple people in the neighborhood, including myself, have reported problems with their water service. Water pressure is low. Not so low you can't take a shower but low enough that toilets don't flush and it takes awhile to fill a sink, let alone a bath tub. The water flowing out of the faucet stops every second or so then starts flowing again. Water pressure is significantly lower in mornings when people are up and getting about their day and again drops in the evening when people get home and perhaps start cooking meals, taking showers, etc. It is a little too soon to blame the problem on people watering grass and gardens. I called the Utilities department about the problem last week and was told I had a leak in my supply line and should call a plumber. I would be glad to do that and will anyway as the line to my house is some 60+ years old. But considering so many other people are having this problem it would be most appreciated if you could send someone out to investigate what's going on as there are too many with this issue for it to be supply ines to people's houses. We have many families int he neighborhood that really can't afford the $300+ bill to for a plumber to check their lines. I will even volunteer to pay a reasonable amount for the City to come out and check that the water supply is functioning properly. We could really use some help on this one. Dan Beeker
Several households (four I think) have stacked storm damage debris on the south side of Sheridan directly across from 1315 Sheridan.
Dirt dumped on city property, Sheridan Woods.
On Sheridan Drive between E. Karen and S. Highland, the bike/pedestrian lane on Sheridan has a lot of gravel and sand and junk in it. This is on a downhill in a bike plane and covers most of the lane. Can this get cleaned up and swept off?
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.
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.
