July 4 there were fireworks shot off in RCA park until at least 1:30 in the morning. This later led to shouting and what sounded like arguing before someone finally called the police to break up the situation. I was wondering why the city allowed fireworks to be shot off by private citizens in the park? Why when the park is supposed to be vacated at dark there were people there long after dark? Why the city had to call out a city worker on a Sunday to clean up the mess that was created? and finally what the city is going to do about the constant problems that occur after dark in this park? If it can't be serviced and maintained by the city then maybe something else needs to be done.
There are cars parked in the alley behind 1000 and 1002 East Atwater on a daily basis. This makes it difficult for trash truck to remove bins. Trash overflowing into the alley and street does not get picked up.
Overgrown bushes to east of driveway block the sidewalk
Over the past several months, the sidewalk in front of 1001 East 1st Street has gradually become almost completely blocked by trees and bushes encroaching from the yard. Yesterday, I was relieved to see someone *finally* trimming the bushes—but the work is completely inadequate. Half the sidewalk is still blocked, the bushes and trees still overhang the full sidewalk at a height low enough to force pedestrians to duck, and the trimmed branches have been left lying on the sidewalk. Please require the property owner (or owners—it's hard to tell where the property line is, and some of the problematic bushes and trees may be on the land belonging to the next house) to fully clear the sidewalk and haul away the resulting debris. It shouldn't be necessary to duck and fight one's way down the sidewalk, or to come away smeared in bird droppings.

Overgrown vegetation on the north side of E First St is blocking the sidewalk
Overgrown vegetation on north side of E First is blocking sidewalk. NOTE: apparently someone else reported this same problem on 5/24 in ticket #183948. The city closed the case on 5/26 with a Notice of Violation but nothing has happened yet to make the sidewalk passable.
