Blocked Street
310 E Cottage Grove AVE
- Case Date:
- 9/2/2025
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.

eastbound 3rd and kimble gets an extended green left arrow that backs up traffic on westbound 3rd. there is no visible reason why the arrow should be triggered when no cars are in that lane or why it needs to be extended when there has never been more than one car turning left.
Traffic Suggestions
10th St & Union St
- Case Date:
- 9/2/2025
Students who are visually impaired have reported to our office that they are not able to safely cross intersection of 10th Street and Union Street, due to the lack of audible crosswalks. Is it possible to either add or enable this feature at this intersection? The lack of an audible signal is preventing our transit system from having a fully accessible bus stop on Union Street, south of the intersection.

To Rhea Carter: Re Case #205383: my address is 1315 Sheridan--I should have included it yesterday. BTW, your message came from a "noreply" address so I couldn't reply directly.

The owner/tenant of the address 1428 W 6th Street has been keeping a lot of trash that the city isn't picking up. The trash is still there on the sidewalk and making it dangerous for my old mother to walk. She was about to trip the other day. There are plumbing pipes, carpet, and what not on the Sidewalk. Either ask the City to remove that trash or ask the concerned person to take care of the trash. It has been over a month that the trash is still there. There are also kids that walk on the sidewalk.

The residence in 1428 has left trash for the summer and the Sanitation did not pick up. It's been at this location since June 2025.
