Lawn is over a foot long, concerned re: ticks.
Greetings, there is a small piece of land owned by the city directly next to 202 E Ridgeview Dr. It has not been maintained in a very long time. The grass is very over grown, a large tree is dead and has large falling limbs and it is the perfect hiding place for rodents and other pests.
After the snow storm two weeks ago, the street in front of my house was cleared, but not the dead end part of Brookside Drive that is beside my house. I e-mailed Joe Van Deventer, Director of Street Operations, to ask if that was an error or a new policy. I received no reply. I need to know the answer, so that I can attempt to reverse the policy if the policy for clearing snow from dead end streets has changed. As you can see in the satellite photo, I was forced to hand shovel 40 yards of Brookside Dr. to "get out" even 2-3 days after the snow storm.
Neighborhood children park their bikes and scooters in and on the roundabout over night and throughout the day.
Multiple potholes in the Sunny Slopes neighborhood. Some of the worst are here on E Ridgeview

This might be the worst hole in the Sunny Slopes neighborhood right now, but a lot of our little half-mile triangle could benefit from some patching. Thanks!
Trash was picked up yesterday, our day, but the recycling bin is still on the street not collected. No notice left if there is some kind of problem.
re ticket_id=173521 Our recycling bin was not collected on Thursday, August 27, per the regular schedule (trash was collected that day). I sent the problem note on Friday the 28th. On September 8th I received a message that "we took care of the problem." That is either incorrect, because I had to wait a week to have a full recycling bin collected, or it is correct that the reason why we were skipped was figured out (not likely-as it probably was just a momentary oversight). All that was needed was for a truck to be diverted for 10 minutes from another route to collect our forgotten bin. Strangely handled...
My sewer has been backing up in my basement for several weeks. Roto Rooter came out to identify the problem. They found that my line is "party line" and is attached to my neighbor's line. The lines meet in his driveway and my line crosses through his front yard (see photos). Our houses were built in 1962. I know talking to the plumbers that this is illegal. To make it better, my neighbor is deceased (died in November) and the house is a foreclosure. No family is wanting responsibility for the house. We tried to call the bank to see what to do. The driveway and front yard will need to be dug up to move and replace the pipe. Who can I speak to to discuss how to proceed with this and (honestly) who will help pay for it?
