The residents of either 727 South Eagleson or 719 South Eagleson use a public access ally way (running between Eagleson and Swain) as parking for cars and large recreational vehicles. It blocks the way for utility service, trash removal, postal delivery, access to property and walking and biking around the neighborhood. Moreover, residents in either of these two homes are blocking parking spots and affecting traffic with green “slow down” signs placed in the street. Both these actions present an over-reach of private citizens in claiming and controlling public space. Please could you investigate and hold these citizens to the rules that we all live by?

Hi,
When attempting to drive westbound on Countryside Lane outside Summit Elementary, we were told by a crossing guard that they were allowed to completely block westbound traffic and would not allow us to drive in the eastbound lane due to “their walkers”.
I raised a complaint with the principal several weeks ago about not only convenience, but also the fact that emergency vehicles are not able to drive through. They responded indicating that people are only supposed to be parking on the far westbound side of the street and not blocking traffic, but that is not what’s happening.
How do they have the authority to block traffic and decide who is or is not allowed to drive on a public street?
They said it was “for 15 minutes” but no drop/off pick/up ever takes a mere 15 minutes as parents start lining up we before school lets out.

Cars parked in the early morning on both sides and block the road. Dangerous in the dark morning fog or when it is raining as you visibility is limited and you can barely squeeze your vehicle through the road due to the illegal parking.

A red Hyundai Accent has been parked in the same spot since July 2022 and is becoming a nuisance for trash pick up. With winter coming this car is in the way for snow removal.

I realize the city does not care or maintain E Canada Drive, however it is unsafe to have vehicles parked so close to the stop sign at this intersection. There are no marking on the road or curd to tell drivers they cannot park there, so they park there daily. Something needs to be done to prevent any accidents at this intersection for drivers who are unable to see around parked vehicles.

There are marked parking spots. Is this blocking spots allowed?

Not sure why #177138 was closed. Nothing has changed. Cars still blocking the street, still blocking the ramp and still blocking the fire hydrant.

The North/South alley between 810 W. 7th and 804 W. 7th is being encroached upon by gardens, woodpiles, trees/vegetation and possibly the fence and cinder block garage owned by 810 W 7th St.
As a result, the alley traffic is being diverted outside of the alley right of way and onto the private property located at 804 W. 7th. This appears to have been going on for a number of years.
As the new owner of 804 W. 7th St., it is my full intention to re-claim the property/property line currently being encroached upon and proceed with renovations. I request that the Street Dept contact the owner of 810 W. 7th and order the encroachments be removed.
With the assistance of a surveyor, I have located the NW and SW corner pins delineating the right of way and pounded new T posts just outside of the right of way in those spots and plan to post the entire property line once the encroachments are removed.
Were I to reclaim the property line today, the alley would become impassible due to said encroachments. I request your assistance in remedying this situation in a civil and legal manner, as requests to the homeowner of 810 W.7th have fallen upon deaf ears.
I request that you keep me in the loop regarding this issue. I would be happy to meet with a representative of the street dept, with survey in hand, to assist in clarifying and remedying this issue, as renovations of 804 W. 7th will begin in a few weeks.
Thank you for your attention in this manner,
Sincerely,
Rick Laux
