Hello, I reported a case regarding early morning trash pickup and was told that the waste removal company has been notified that per City code, waste removal is only allowed after 5 am. However, I noticed today and a few days ago, the trash was being picked up before or around 4 am. I hope that the City code is followed because it's been stressful waking up repeatedly by the noise in the middle of the night. Thank you.
no stickers on trash
People treat this traffic light as an optional stop sign. Even if the light is solid red (not blinking), if cars have seen a pedestrian finish the crossing or don't observe a pedestrian they continue through this red light. BPD could set up in the switchyard parking lot and rake in $ from all of the traffic violations here. More enforcement and maybe making the light always green (unless a pedestrian is crossing) would force car traffic to better respect this light. No one takes it seriously as is and I have seen multiple bikers/skaters/walkers almost get hit as they make the cross when the crosswalk is still clearly lit up.
There is a pedestrian activated crossing from the Switchyard park over to the B-Link Trail on South Walnut. Activating the signal triggers a red light for traffic on South Walnut, but I constantly have issues here with traffic blowing through the red light, often at high speeds. Is there anything that can be done to make this crossing safer for pedestrians and cyclists?
There is an accumulation of sticks, trash, and general debris that has dammed the stream running alongside the B-Link Trail, approx. 600 feet from S Walnut Street. As of late, whenever we experience heavy rains, the water floods onto the trail itself, as photographed.
At the end of the B-Link trail, where it crosses Walnut into Switchyard Park, there is a button activated crosswalk. This has been up for quite some time now, and yet everytime I'm at this crossing and have the green signal I still have close calls with vehicles that blow right through the red. Maybe this would be a good spot for some enforcement action from the Police?
Out walking yesterday and I was alarmed by the rapid decay of this very large Pin Oak tree. It is leaning toward the street. It is dead and looks like it could fall within the next few months. I believe it is a tree that falls under the responsibility of the city but my apologies if it is a private owner tree. Specific location is 1715 S. Wexley Road, front and south of property, very near road and very near fire hydrant.
Roads not cleared
Larry Barker, Sanitation Director, stated that this address was a late trash set out.
The sanitation web page calendar does not show the one day delay in trash pickup due to Christmas and New Years at least for Renwick area. Our trash was n\out all day as a result and would do the same again next week if we didn;t ignore the calendar.
