Around Arlington bridge, public walk way, there is debris, grass, and bushes that should be taken care of for safety of the children and the public that uses this walkway. It’s very unsafe someone could be hiding in the bushes to attack or kindap a child. Ty

Near miss. During the morning, walk to school, kids were crossing high Street around 8:35 AM, there’s a crossing guard there who triggered the crosswalk lights, and stood in the middle of the road with his stop sign, but a car approaching from the north did not stop, and drove through the crosswalk around 25 to 30 mph. Talking with the cross guard, this happens quite often, because it is at the bottom of a hill with limited visibility. I highly recommend putting a stop sign at that intersection similar to everywhere else on high Street.
There are 4+ unregistered junk vehicles parked on the street. And 2 unregistered junk vehicles parked on the driveway.
This is a continuous issue that seems to have no resolution. This person is parking their various cars right in front of a fire hydrant. In case of a house fire their car would be damaged due to how close and inaccessible the fire hydrant is. The current car parked in front is a blue Honda Civic license plate #DHB956
The ADA requires that sidewalks be firm, stable and slip-resistant. Numerous bricks that make up the downtown sidewalk are loose or missing. I saw an older woman trip on one of these in front of Fountain Square this week. I helped her up and when her husband took her to the ER because she may have broken her ankle. When it’s wet, these sidewalks are slippery than concrete sidewalks. They look nice but they are hazardous. At the least, the city needs to do a better job of maintaining them. Thank you.
There appears to be no street sign at the intersection of W. 17th and Crescent (just before the bridge going over the bridge over I69). If there is one, I certainly could not find it. I was looking for an apt complex (Union at Crescent) and wasn't sure I had the right road to turn on. Sign would sure be helpful. Thanks!
