Last night (Friday, 19 June), I removed several mats covering drains on Queens Way at High St, just south of Wimbleton on High St, and on Arden near High St. They are part of the Jackson creek Trail Phase II project - but given the immense rain, they were causing dangerous street flooding (several feet high). They will need replacing.
I have sent this in a couple times and it still has not been addressed. There are shrubs/trees overgrown into the road and it is making it dangerous because cars are swerving into the middle of the road to miss it. It has made it very unsafe for those walking in the neighborhood. The city trimmed it back a year or two ago and that helped. I would like for it to be trimmed back again. Thank you.
Excessive weed and grass growth.
This property is once again in violation of grass and weeds being above the 8 inch limit. Complaints were filed a month ago, and while the property owner did cut a portion of their yard (which ended up looking horrible and then had turkey vultures in it) they did not cut all of it. They part they did not cut in the backyard is many feet high now, and the part they did cut is back up over the 8 inch limit. Maybe a mowing service should be suggested to the owner. Hopefully they are facing higher violation fees since this is an ongoing issue. Also before tickets are closed, there should be a check that the whole yard was taken care of, not just part of it.
So my driveway and the sidewalk has been completely gone for a month now, without any notice from the city. Progress... It has been replaced with loose gravel, a mess of heavy equipment traffic, and ... nothing for many weeks now. My wife cannot drive her small car over this mess without bottoming out. I haven't been able to drive my motorcycle over this mess because it's too soft for a full touring bike. The contractors spend all their time making an even bigger mess of soft gravel. Mayor Hamilton: when will you make this virue signaling mess a priority? I want my front yard back. I want my driveway back. I want my sidewalk back. FINISH IT SOON.
So you're doubling the width of the sidewalk from 5ft to 10ft for a recreational path. Great. But does that mean you've also doubled the amount of sidewalk I'm now responsible to clear of snow in the winter? Should I be dumping tea into Lake Monroe?
Someone has moved a sofa into the landscaped area at the corner of Madison and Patterson. Unfortunately I wonder if someone is sleeping on it. Regardless inappropriate to have this dumped on city property.
Grass is nearly 18” tall
Grass is as long as the mailbox and has not been cut all spring
