I live on the Waterman section of W. 8th Street. A few years ago, before the city repaved our road, there were yellow center lines and also marked roadside parking spaces. When will the city repaint those lines? It has been a few years already. We have an issue of people speeding on our road, which they do by driving down the center of it regardless of oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and bicyclists. I think the speeding was less of an issue back when the road lines were painted because those lines prevented people from driving down the middle of the road like they do now. I think repainting the center lines and the parking spot lines, we could actually solve the speeding problem.
A street light in that location is very much needed. I bike every evening there, and can attest to it being a dangerous intersection at night.
There are a lot of broken items or items that are NEVER used in the side yard and the back yard. This property is an eye sore and brings all of the surrounding property values down. The RV that sits in the drive way has not moved in FIVE+ years and is FULL of stored items.
The crest of the hill on 8th street has inadequate lighting. People on the sidewalk are invisible for security purposes, and cannot see obstacles to walk safely. A neighbor hit my car door because he could not see it. People leave their porch lights on all night, so we have some visibility.
1650 still storing garbage on back porch, even on front porch now(no photo of front porch, but you can see it from the gravel drive)
YES THERE VERY MUCH IS TRASH ON BOTH PORCHES, I HAVE INCLUDED PHOTOS. WHOEVER DROVE BY TO CHECK OBVIOUSLY DIDNT SEE IT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OTHER THAN JUSY FINES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS
