Armchair sitting in front of house by the street for a week.
Trash and/or recycling bins sitting by street (Grant Street side)
Snow on sidewalk
Large pile of trash alongside street in front of house.
Street signs missing from Grant/8th intersection.
Trash bags lying on ground by street. In view of Grant Street Inn.
Not sure which category this belongs under. The grass-cutters for this property and the one directly to the north and also the Grant Street Inn to the south routinely blow grass cuttings into the street. Sometimes, there is so much that it creates a cycling hazard, and then when the rain washes it all into the storm sewer grates and clogs them, temporary lakes form. Are the any regulations relating to the levying of fines to careless people who dump yard waste (grass, leaves, etc.) in the street?
Trash by street (along 8th)
Hello! On 12/9/24, I was involved in a car accident. I was driving west on 7th St., which had no stop signs along the stretch I was driving. A driver going north on Grant assumed it would be a 4 way stop, and after stopping, drove forward into my car and t-boned my driver’s side door. Both cars were totaled. My back is still sore. I am not sure if signage exists that cross traffic does not stop, or if a new traffic plan is in consideration, but I wanted to let someone know there was an incorrect 4 way stop assumption made at this intersection that resulted in an accident. Thank you for listening, for your time, and for all you do! Sincerely, Emily
