See attached picture of Stop Sign erected on SE corner of 17th and Woodlawn. My concern is that by mounting other signs on the same post as this stop sign, motorists may be distracted from the stop sign and fail to obey it.

Blocked Street

421 S College AVE

Case Date:
9/10/2015

Obstruction of sidewalk by protesters. It happens almost every day but especially bad on Thursdays. They intimidate people walking and post horrific images and also park a very large van every day. This needs to stop and reflects horribly on our city to have people out harassing pedestrians all the time.

Animal Control & Neglected Pets

Case Date:
8/27/2015

Green County does not have an animal control- SAFE Animal Rescue inc in linton is a filthy building, one breaker controls the whole building, ventilation is dangerous. they do not clean properly with chemicals and have no MSDS books for the people that "works" They have aggressive dogs in the garage but let kids run in and out of the building. someone is going to get sick, or hurt The Cat's are dying all the time. They post they need money on their Facebook but their volunteers say they are not putting the money to take care of the animals. They are abused and left all day unattended while the board members work, even when the president is there she is not taking care of the animals in the building. I did not know who else to contact- I have contacted the Sullivan animal shelter a few times but one of their board members Rebbecca Carmichael removes the complaints because she is on the board at safe. I have also reached out to GCHS but there is personal issues between them and safe that they will not get involved. They presidents husband is a police officer out there, so trying to call them does no go either.

Traffic Related Complaints

2942 S Walnut ST

Case Date:
8/18/2015

Hello, I am re-developing the property @ 3000 South Walnut. The location is where the former Southern Winds Hotel and Roosters club were located. The property at the beginning a workout facility and a chiropractors office. AS you pull out from the property and are going to turn left (North) and cross traffic, there are two trees located to the north on the side of the road. When cars are coming South and I am turning to the North, it is difficult to see whats coming and that is where the speed limit changes from 30 to 40mph, which is the place many seems to start speeding up. We will have more traffic than ever entering and leaving the property right from the beginning and even more as the property continues to be redeveloped overtime after the initial building and business's are active. A stop light right around there of course would be superb for the property but probably could never happen due to the traffic that occur that comes over the hill when people are traveling South down South Walnut. With that in mind I was hoping the two large trees could be taken down so it is much safer at that point because of the visibility that would open up. One tree is directly in from of the property and the other is directly in front on an older apartment complex that has around 10 apartments in it, it looks like. Would this be possible? Or maybe we could plant a couple new tress which would be much smaller and take several years to grow out? Of course that problem would show up again several years from now but it would take care of it presently for sevevral years. I am just worried about such a great new area being redeveloped for the area and future to have potential traffic issues with people being able to see when pulling out of the property. Thanks a lot, Tommy.

Abandoned Vehicle

Case Date:
8/17/2015

There is a bicycle at the North West corner of the intersection of 1st and Fess streets that appears to be abandoned. The rear wheel is bent such that it appears to be inoperable and it has been locked to the sign post at that location for a few weeks now. Thank you for your assistance in removing this abandoned bicycle! :)

Traffic Signals

Case Date:
8/13/2015

The traffic on West Third Street is consistently HORRID. The timing of the traffic lights desperately needs to be changed. Especially around peak times, like morning rush, noon-ish, and 5:00pm, traffic is so backed up and the traffic lights are so poorly timed that barely two or three cars are making it through a single light. What should be a 15 minute drive to-and-from work for me (even with some normal peak traffic factored in) but it usually takes about 45 minutes. PLEASE have someone from your department attempt to drive from downtown to the West side of town via W. 3rd street so you can see first-hand how awful it is and how poorly timed the lights are. It doesn't make sense for one light to turn green if the light ahead of it is still red and the cars are completely backed up. Nobody can go anywhere! My car has overheated a few times from remaining stagnant for so long. Please have someone do something about this and PLEASE have someone from your office try it out for themselves during a peak traffic time. It is unbelievable and ridiculous and needs to be adjusted.

Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)

2402–2998 S Weimer Rd

Case Date:
7/15/2015

While riding my bike on Weimer Rd.; I've noticed on two different occasions the strong smell of sewer gas. A Sewer gas smell to me means either there is effluent top side or there is an over flow into waterway. (Or I suppose something else) but there a definite issue. Exact location is post bridge on Weimer's south end heading toward Tapp Rd. It is also just past the mid point of bridge to Tapp Rd. points. Yes, I know there has been a lot of rain that contributes to these kind of issues, but being that the creek eventually "dumps" into Monroe Reservoir ( our drinking water) Thank you for looking into this.
