Over the past year and a half I have asked HAND and Sarge Rentals to remove the garbage cans from the tree row of the 600 block of University St. HAND finally tild me they were fining the rooming house at 624 S Fess. That did not help. I asked Sarge Rentals to remove the Rumpke trash and recycling bins once they switched over to Avas. They did not. Now the Avas bins are in the tree row along with the Rumpke ones and another waste basket (see picture). When I moved here 30 years ago I went to a city meeting to complain about the trash at the rooming house. The problem was remedied by placing a dumpster in the alley behind the building. That was replaced by the Rumpke bins. None of the residents nor Sarge move the bins from the tree row after trash is taken. No other homes on University St behave in this manner. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS EYESORE!
There is pothole on Dodds St east of the intersection with Fairview St.
Other: Over the past 4 years, W. 1st street from Walker to edge of Hopewell (near Fairview) was used extensively, often daily, during demolition and construction with heavy equipment and trucks often idling there waiting to move closer to the Hopewell construction area. . As a result that end of the street as well as the curve onto Wylie/Euclid street experienced a lot of wear and tear; periodic potholes, sidewalks closed at times, spray painted utility markings. Are there any plans to pave and repair the street and shoulders that are technically in McDoel Gardens? It definitely would show a measure of goodwill for all that the near neighbors and businesses have experienced as Hopewell emerges. W. 1st towards Rogers and onward looks great with paving, new sidewalks and street lamps.
One can see that this lamp on the NE corner of the picnic area on Hopewell Commons has one of its pair of lights out. You might want to have the contractor replace this obviously faulty bulb.
No shoveling at the apartment building
There is always standing water here on this sidewalk. It was a sheet of ice last month. Is there a water main break? So much water can not use the sidewalk. I do not want to have to walk in the street.
Traffic light would not change, had no choice but to drive through.
There is a tall dead tree in the backyard of this rental house in my neighborhood, right near the property line with the other house. During each major storm, large limbs fall into the street, creating a danger for those of us who walk past that location. The tree should come down ASAP. I should have reported this sooner but occasionally someone (city? utilities?) saws up the limbs that fall so I have assumed it was on someone's radar. Last night VERY large limbs came down. Please make sure someone solves this problem soon.
The sidewalk has big areas of lifting due to the tree the city planted. I'd like to be able to keep the tree and maybe the sidewalk can be "shaved" to make it smoother for walking.
