Vehicle come off Bloomfield rd on to Allen St an Accelerate way beyond the 25 mph speed and there are some cars and trucks with very loud exhaust that you can hear them as they get farther away. There are 6 intersection in this stretch of Allen st. Could the City place some traffic calming device on Allen St from Bloomfield Rd to Adams st?
I have requested this 6 months ago and have not heard anything.

Animal Control & Neglected Pets

the owner of 713 S. Clifton Avenue not only has dogs that continually bark, but the cats belonging to the house are left unattended to roam the street, killing baby birds/bunnies in their nest. Yesterday one of the cats aggressively ran at me in our yard. Its very disturbing to see such neglect with animals. It makes me wonder if they are not being fed properly.

Two issues that do not reflect well on the park: the sign about native plants in a mulched bed that contains mostly weeds. (This is curly dock.) And the starlings that are nesting in the tip of the roof over the picnic tables and leaving droppings. Please do not disturb the barn swallow nest in the back corner. They are neither noisy nor messy.

There are some loose bolts on the green bouncy rhino at south east playground. I was going to tighten them but they require a special wrench.

The integrated playground at Winslow park is directly adjacent to a high voltage solar panel area. This evening, while using the walking path, my husband and I observed 2 VERY young little girls INSIDE the high voltage fence area. They had climbed over the low fence into the solar panel area. I'm sure this is a major liability to parks and rec. My husband and I warned them out of the area and they climbed the fence easily. They looked to be about 6 YO....and as we walked on and looked back they were coming back with a friend. I warned them of the danger and they turned back.

Hello, there is a massive issue with drivers running red lights and stop signs in this city. I have marked a particularly bad intersection (Madison and 11th), however this issue is city-wide. The included intersection has a wall on the bridge that prevents vehicles from seeing around the corner to 11th street, which often means that people just roll right through the stop sign. I've been almost T-boned at this intersection multiple times, and I genuinely fear I may die there some day.
I have already been hit once by someone ignoring traffic laws on Third Street, and have almost been hit on foot and in my vehicle countless times downtown. It has gotten to the point where I am afraid to travel around the city.
There should be traffic cameras on the stop lights, and more aggressive fines to deter these people casually ignoring safety and traffic laws. I understand that it is hard to enforce stop signs, however I have witnessed (on multiple occasions) police patrol vehicles allowing people to run right through 4-way stops, and some even do it themselves. People are learning that there are absolutely no consequences for driving recklessly around the city, and it has gotten noticeably worse.
Please, consider taking action about the extremely unsafe traffic situation in our city.

Referring to closed case #188267: unkempt lawn at 1706 E Second Street, and part of the lawn that is adjacent to 607 S Eastside Drive. The owner indeed did mow a little more, but a large part of the lawn that borders 706 is still in the same horrible shape as it was, worse in fact, because the grass has kept growing since May 5. There also is a large branch that fell off a tree, that has been sitting there for ages and was not removed. Maybe it is time for another visit.
