Blocked Street

Case Date:
2/5/2015

I live at Campus Court apartments at 2036 N Walnut Street. Behind the "F" building, there is a narrow lane connecting the parking lots, and the curb is designated as a fire lane. There are two individuals who park in the lane, every single weekday, from approximately 6pm to midnight. I have spoken to them in person and asked them not to park in the fire lane, but they return every day. The apartment management is also aware of this problem. I was hoping that the cars could be towed or cited for parking in a fire lane. Thank you!

This is probably a Utilities issue, but I cannot find a place to make a report to them (online). Recently, there is a big THICK ICE patch that develops on the street at the corner of Maxwell and Woodlawn, whenever the temp. is below freezing. It is on the east side of Woodlawn at the SE corner of that intersection. (There is a fire hydrant at that location.) Pretty sure there is water leaking from somewhere underground onto the street.

1918 E Ruby LN

Case Date:
2/7/2015

We have cars flying down Ruby Ln heading to High Street. Our house is on the corner of Ruby and S. Covenanter and they fly down Ruby Lane and turn having headed into the ditch. My main concern is that cars fly down Ruby Lane and we have several families with small children. On the lower side of Ruby Lane there is no sidewalk and these cars are flying down the road. Their speed would kill a pedestrian or a child playing if they got hit. It would be nice with a sign or a speed bump to slow some of the traffic flying down E. Ruby Lane. We never see police officers patrol our neighborhood...not even when we file a report that we are out of town and would like beefed up security checks. The same culprits drive exceedingly fast down both E. Ruby Lane and E. Southdowns Drive and never get ticketed for speeding. If you want to get extra income for the city...that would be the way to do it. Set up a police officer and catch all the drivers driving too fast down these streets.

The streetlight outside our house has been malfunctioning for several weeks. It cycles on and off every several minutes during the night. It goes out, slowly brightens again, and then goes back out.

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

Case Date:
2/9/2015

There is a curb cut on Hunter Ave, it seems have serviced a vacated alley, right behind 502. S. Hawthorne. The house owners have fence the area, so perhaps they believe they own it, but GIS sees it as an alley. I was walking down west on Hunter after dark on Sunday evening, and the shrubbery shadows the street lights. Even though I have been a neighborhood resident for 2 decades, I forgot that I had to step down when on the sidewalk, and I stumbled a bit, caught myself, but then hit the curb on the other side, and fell on the sidewalk, thus abrading my right elbow and knee. I see no reason for the curb cut, and am requesting that it be filled in. We have numerous people out at night walking dogs, taking the night air, and I can imagine a more serious accident here, especially if one is elderly (at 67, I fell pretty fit.) I do feel stupid that I was not paying attention to a hazard I have been aware of for years, but there it is. Here are the views, I could not get the upload to work (neither did the Choose Location link, but I am on a Mac using Chrome, and if your system is Windows based, therein may be the problem https://www.dropbox.com/s/qp74i2ruo2kvewh/2015-02-08%2010.04.23.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/qp74i2ruo2kvewh/2015-02-08%2010.04.23.jpg?dl=0

Inaccessible Parking

Case Date:
2/9/2015

This past weekend, I parked my bike in the racks in front of the Trojan Horse on Kirkwood. When I came out a couple hours later, my bike was covered in bird poop. I'm assuming it's from the crows. Is there anything the city can do to help with this? Maybe something similar to what was done with the parking meters to cover them from droppings. Even a sign that suggests: "park at your own risk or you'll have a mess to clean up later" would be better than nothing.
