Olcott park pathway to Jackson Creek middle school parking lot. When the temperature drops below freezing, this becomes a sheet of ice due to some drainage from the football field flowing down the paved path. Dozens of school children use the path to get to and from school as well as community members. It has been a high slip risk For the last few years as this path does not receive ice removal or salting on a regular basis. Instead of trying to keep up with salting or removing the ice on this long path I hope the city could look into rerouting the source of the drainage to not flow on the pedestrian path.

I live on 20th street and there is no way for me to get home. north dunn and south walnut are blocked off for literally no reason and your officers are yelling at pedestrians and drivers when they have no explanation for why roads are blocked off or flashlights/wavers for cars to know when to go. this is ridiculous and inexcusable. it took me 45 minutes in a car and then 15 minutes on foot just to go to my own home. I am furious and beyond frustrated with what just happened and you need to get your shit together so this doesnt happen again.

I really don't know what category this would fall under since it really encompasses several things, so I have just called it "other."
I see that in case #170862, there has been a complaint regarding speeding through the W. 12th, 13th, and Illinois Streets area. This is very much like a report I made a few months ago regarding speeding on W. 11th St between N. Adams St. and Fountain Dr. (I don't have the specific case #)
The statement in case 170862 is correct. There are children, pedestrians, a transit stop, and an increasing amount of scooter traffic in this area. I am assuming that it's because of the increasing density on Crescent Rd., but the traffic is heavy on W. 11th, and there are many drivers who run through the section between Adams and the curve at Fountain Dr at a speed well above that of a residential area. I own seven pieces of property on Oolitic and W. 11th, so I am there a lot to see it. One issue is that there are no speed limit signs either direction in the area between Adams and Fountain Dr. This is an issue that can be remedied, and I am hoping that speed limit signs can be placed. A second issue is the design of the road encourages speed. It doesn't look like a residential street. This is a much more complicated issue. I would like to put in a request that, at some point, the section of W. 11th between N. Adams and Fountain Dr. receive curbs on both sides. This is still zoned residential despite the presence of C&S and the one artisan property. This brings me to a third issue. Residential/neighborhood streets are typically limited at 25 MPH. In addition, Tri-North is right there and numerous students walk to and from school. I would like to request that the speed limit on W. 11th from the railroad bridge to Fountain Dr be reduced to 25 MPH. It is currently 30.
Finally, I know that the police department is stretched thin. More officers are needed and I absolutely understand that fact, to say nothing about the fact that they have to argue to get a city contract put through. However, I do hope that, whenever possible, an officer can radar monitor for speeders on that section of W. 11th. Please note, I did see an officer pull over a speeder. Thank you for that. I don't wish to get people in trouble. I only wish for safety. That isn't an industrial artery, it IS a residential street.
Thank you for your time.

This is just between 1000 and 1006 W Countryside Lane, and is just big enough to have caught my grandaughter's foot in yesterday when it was covered with leaves. Please repair within 48 hours or I am contacting an attorney for help resolving the issue.

The Project School prohibited egress from the alley (parallel between Washington & Walnut) at 8:55 am this morning 11/4/19. Instead of monitoring the traffic/pedestrian flow and locating a safe gap to allow passage, the gentleman refused to allow any vehicle to pass even when there were ample opportunities to do so. I do not believe the Project School is allowed to completely prohibit vehicle egress indefinitely. I request that their guards not only allow passage for their students and parents but to also allow passage for the rest of the community who rely on the use of the public roads and alleys.

It's bad enough that we have to fight for parking at Morton Street garage, but it becomes intolerable when black ford F150's take up 2 spaces (314, 313). Is there some ordinance against this? Can they be ticketed, at least? License plate G04292.
