Bus driver got off bus on December 2nd at 4:56 pm and gave someone keys. The 18 people on the bus were waiting for over 5 minutes and also did not know what was going on. The bus route was the 3 West bus route.
With Smith becoming a mess (please address N. Smith too with the State), traffic and speeding only continues to worsen on E. Morningside Drive. Of particular disappointment is the frequent speeding of school and City buses, going far in excess of reasonable speeds with even deadlier vehicles. The small City bus (Access bus or whatever it was called) was going INSANELY quick two days ago. Recent neighborhood chatter: -At the bus stop at Sheffield and Providence this morning I watched a car fly around the school bus while it was fully stopped with its arm out. The car was heading out of the neighborhood. The vehicle was a black Hyundai Veloster, I believe. Very frequently there are kids running across this area, to catch the bus. This driver was reckless, and put our children’s lives at risk. As a mom of small kids I am very concerned with the number of drivers who don’t seem to remember they are in a neighborhood. Those who are against some strategic speed bumps, how do you propose we curb this behavior when a stopped school bus can’t even cause them pause? -I know I have many unpopular opinions such as this one, but, I fully support speed bumps. I know that doesn't ✨solve✨ it but I can't see anything else really being equally as/more effective at this point. -Hear hear! And while we are at it, does everyone know texting and driving is illegal and VERY dangerous? Our house sits high up and we can easily see down onto the road and into cars. We see how many people are doing it. If you’re one of those people, we probably see you doing it. Speeding/being reckless/texting and driving through a pedestrian/bike/pet-heavy area isn’t a problem. Until it is when someone gets struck. Please be mindful!! -I agree, we need speed bumps in this neighborhood. We live on a culdesac and it is frequently a racetrack! -We’d be happy to have speed bumps or strips on Morningside and keep all the kids by the park, crossing the intersection, safe. It’s clear it’s being used as a cut through. Someone flying into their driveway the other day in front of my son gave us a good scare. I know we all get in a rush, but slowing down would do us all some good. There are so many littles and pets in the neighborhood. -Well, since my house has been hit twice in the last 20 years by speeding teens, and the fact that the stop on N Park Ridge and Walpole seems to be ignored more than not, I'm fully behind speed bumps!!!! -Ron Smith" Please let us know what change and enforcement can be coming soon. In addition, the Longview Greenway portion behind Aldi's has now been destroyed? That was a primary bike path for our neighborhood to campus and downtown. When will that be restored? We have hopes speed humps with cut-outs and/or other measures to slow traffic will not only be present there but be present all the way through Park Ridge East for east-west connectivity and safety of children/pedestrians/cyclists.
There is a streetlight out on midblock on 8th street between Grant and Lincoln.
I am an Adopt a Storm Drain volunteer for Queensway from High to Montclair and Sussex Dr. I have cleared leaves from drains numerous times this fall. I have cleared the drain at the SW corner of Queensway and Chelsey Ct several times this fall including raking leaves of Queensway for about four houses west of the drain onto the city easement. Today December 15, 2021 I cleared the drains because of an approaching rain event. The property owner nearest the drain on the south side of Queensway has raked not only the leaves that I had raked onto the easement last week but their entire yard into Queensway, blocking the drain completely. I suspect they will once again rake them into the street. This is one of the stormwater lines/creeks that results in flooding south along Rock Creek. Can the city take action and remove the leaves?
3 potholes: on High Street near the intersection with E Second, near the church sign, close to the sidewalk; in the 500 block of Woodscrest across from the Mallor and Grodner building; E Second Street, between Woodscrest and College Mall Rd across from the red, wavy wall.
A large branch fell during the storm this week in the wods to the east of the basketball court. It is projecting into Renwick condo backyard. I picked up the part that fell into the yard and put back into the park.
There is a big abandoned pond at the end of 2511 N Dunn property. I believe this abandoned pond is the cause of a mosquito issue nearby neighborhoods including apartment complex next to that pond. Can city do something about it or at least investigate the issue? Thank you
The trash service available to us at sunny slopes is terrible. This is just one of a dozen houses that now have broken trash cans. Do you replace these or do we have to pay for this persons incompetence?
I called and was told I need to discontinue my service online and not over the phone. But your form online will not allow me to type in the address of the property that I need the service discontinued. It will not let me submit the request without this information, but it won't allow me to type in the address. Am I doing something wrong or is your form the issue? Please let me know how I can make the request to discontinue service, as we are closing on this property on Dec 28th. Thanks.
