There are 3-4 grocery carts full of what seems to be the belongings of an unhoused person that have been discarded at the end of Madison. They have been there untouched for 3 days now. The neighborhood would appreciate if they were removed soon. Thank you!
Trash all over the place, looks like a homeless camp
There is a dangling guy wire at pole #152-572, located at the south end of Madison St. just north of Patterson/Grimes, at west edge of New Hope for Families property.

Graffiti on the south wall of the 113 S Gentry Building: Breanna Tayler and George Floyd
The beautiful Linden tree in front of our store (JL Water's) has been reported a couple of times now for dangerous hanging branches. The christmas lights from a few years ago are all that is keeping these some of these good sized branches from falling on pedestrians or cars. Please send somebody out asap, thank you. We love the tree and think just a trim is necessary!
After reading about the variance denied to the property owner, Randy Lloyd, I couldn’t help but think about the current use of the site at or about 113 E Kirkwood. This property sits in an overlay that does not permit surface parking. I can’t find any use in the UDO where parking is allowed when not attached to a structure, and I specifically remember a number of discussions regarding this issue. In particular the Methodist Church’s desire to convert the footprint of the old post office to surface parking. I believe that had to turn it into green space. I also have concerns that this lot is 100% impervious. 20.4.20 I just don’t see how this use satisfies the spirit of the Comprehensive Plan, the existing UDO, or is consistent w previous use determinations. Further, the owner expanded the parking from what was there pre-demolition of the 4th street garage without any public review. Finally, I doubt this parcel meets the requirements of 18.12.10. How would BFD access or service a car fire on this parcel? It’s too narrow to get truck in there and difficult to service from the alley. This use may have been over looked during the demolition and reconstruction of the 4th street garage, even though parking was not really needed downtown during the pandemic, however, it’s time for enforcement against this parcel and other nonconforming uses.
Street lights on the south side of Kirkwood from Washington to Grant are not on
