Zoning/compliance/planning/permitting issue? 4317 E. Morningside Drive. Surely not allowed to have huge chainlink fence with barbed wire on top in residential neighborhood at house next to park? If nothing else is not allowed by Park Ridge East neighborhood covenants/land restrictions, limiting 6 foot max. Extra barbed wire topper in excess of 6 ft max. Please measure and inform. Unsafe, unsightly, and unresidential. Old fence was nice small picket.
Thank you for new trash/recycling system. It is convenient. I don't have to carry heavy bins. No sorting needed. I'm grateful!
I live at 525 N Park Ridge RD. I called several times about sidewalk collapsing over water line. Please repair. Worry about safety of pedestrians.
Question on map. Greenway that goes W/E on 7th I saw as a dotted line on a map with other dotted line proposed trails. Are improvements going to be made to the existing path/greenway on 7th/morningside/etc.? Thank you.
A tree question but didn't see category. House at 4011 E Morningside has big dead tree trunk in corner of yard. Branches were cut off. Anything the city can do to cut down the rest of that trunk? Even if just a stump is way better than current.
The sidewalk in front of the McDonald's on Pete Ellis Drive is in very poor condition. Many elderly people walk this route to the mall and it poses a serious tripping/walking hazard to them.
Main street light to the entrance of Clarizz off Moore Pike is out.

Nothing urgent, but I walk past the lawn at City Hall each day and see ways that it could be "greener". - The crews mow at a very low height. If grass is mowed higher the blades shade the soil, keeping the roots cooler and more healthy. It also keeps sunlight from hitting the soil, which prevents weed seeds from germinating, which reduces the need for pesticides. - The crews remove the clippings. Using a mulching mower returns the clippings to the lawn system, reducing the need for fertilizer. It's also less work to not have to empty the mower bag. - The grass was mowed yesterday. Today (Friday 5/18) much of the lawn has a silvery color to it. If you look at the grass blades in these areas you'll see that the tips are shredded instead of being cleanly cut. This means that the mower blade is so dull that it's ripping rather than cutting. The shredded grass blades are more susceptible to disease than cleanly cut ones. Just my 2 cents, thanks for listening, Rich Pierce
