Dog belonging to neighbor, Brittney Powers, continually trespasses our property, agitating our pets, opening doors and coming inside our home leaving mud stains on our carpets, and getting into our trash. We have repeatedly contacted the owner, but she says her dog doesn’t mind their invisible fence and keeps getting out. This situation has been going on for months. We are very frustrated and think that this is not a responsible pet owner.

Owner got a dog a few months ago and does not allow the dog inside the house under any circumstances. As temperatures drop, this dog will be left outside all hours of the day and night just as it was last night. I am unsure if the dog is allowed into the unheated garage, but, the owner has openly acknowledged they will not bring the dog inside because they have cats and don't want to make their girlfriend upset. The owner was dismissive when asked what they plan to do in the cold months. This is a lovely dog that is being neglected regardless of weather.

I’ve walked past this very skinny dog who lives in my neighborhood. He is outside seemingly 24/7 with no water bowl or food. He looks very skinny and I’ve noticed multiple times that he had active hot spots on his side. I’ve never seen the owner out with him at all. Please send someone out to investigate this, he’s being neglected.

This dog is deathly skinny and left outside in the winter cold 24/7. The neighbors can attest to this. Please come save this dog before it dies.

A couple small potholes on W. Allen St. just east of the intersection with Fairview. This whole intersection should be carefully checked since there will be an art installation going in on June 14 via ESD. Thanks.

Nothing major has happened yet, but there is a very large pitbull being kept at this house that has aggressive tendencies towards other dogs. Several times, it has gotten away from or pulled down its owners. In one of these incidents, the owner managed to tackle the dog before it reached our neighbor's dog. I am a neighbor and am very concerned. All of the surrounding neighbors we talk to have independently expressed concern and have warned us about the dog. We have a dog and a new baby. I do not trust this animal, and I do not trust the owners' abilities to keep positive control of it.

It would be helpful to have a west-pointing "One Way" sign installed on the east side of the Lincoln/Cottage Grove intersection and maybe even a "Do Not Enter" sign to alert drivers intending to turn right that they are about to encounter one-way traffic headed west. Currently, there is a west-pointing "One Way" sign on the NW corner of the intersection, but (ironically) view of it is mostly blocked by a "Do Not Enter" sign on the SW corner of the same intersection. Drivers on Lincoln who approach this intersection and who are unfamiliar with the street directions in this neighborhood could (do) easily turn right and head east against the traffic direction, formally in commission of a moving violation but it seems unfair to ticket them when the street layout is not well-communicated to the drivers. Note: there might have been a sign in this location in the past, but there have been some ADA-sidewalk projects in the area recently that necessitated temporary removal of signs, and any signs laying about could then have been picked up by a member of one of the local fraternities, notorious for sign theft in the neighborhood.
