This van was parked outside my building from at least 9pm (12/11) till sometime after 5am (12/12) on. we thought we had heard dogs in the car a little after nine and went to check it out and couldn’t hear anything. Around 3:20am we heard them again and found that they were in this car and had been since the car was parked. The police arrived and the dogs weren’t barking so they wouldn’t do any thing . It was 30 degrees last night and we have no way of knowing what kind of condition they were in however leaving them caged in a car in 30 degree weather is cruel. This car regularly parks here and the owner is unknown to me. The license plate is GW5522 and it’s a white dodge grand caravan with FDSA stickers above the gas cap
Westside of 215 9th St. - is an old alley that needs repaired or closed down, we are having people park in the yards of 215 & 221 9th Street to make repairs to neighboring houses because the alley is not functional
This tree is going to fall over very soon. We would like to remove this tree as fast as possible. If the tree were to fall, it would hit the power line and cut off the power for the majority of the street. In addition, the cars parked on that street could also be damaged when the tree falls. I understand it is private property technically, but I feel like their landlord should allow this.
Not sure of address - might be both houses - but the shrubs on the north side of the properties here have grown large by the sidewalk and make it difficult to navigate without stepping to the side and walking on the grass. Definitely not ADA compliant at present.
Trash bags and bins lying in street.

There is water constantly flowing out of the ground on the alley east of 213 E. Cottage Grove about 40 feet north of the street. The water is bubbling up and flowing south to the street then flowing east to Lincoln. When it was cold recently a glacier formed there that was dangerous to walk or drive on. It i now getting swampy there - still dangerous but in a different way. Both City Utilities and property owner were notified, but it is not clear if anyone has determined where the water is coming from. Good to check the meters in the area, e.g., 701 N. Lincoln, 700 N. Washington, 706 N. Washington for any unexpectedly high usage.
Maybe a complex problem, but there is often standing water (rain or shine, but especially when it's been raining) on the sidewalk and the street in the block just east of Walnut on the south side of 12th Street. .
About 20ft back from the southwest corner of 8th and Washington (between the street and the sidewalk) there is the bottom/stump of what was maybe a parking sign. If moving to the side to allow someone to pass on sidewalk or more likely someone getting out of the passenger side of a car could injure themselves, especially at night. Please remove or replace. Thank you.
