Hello. Last May the property next door to me was sold to a couple currently living in Maine. They apparently plan to build on the lot but due to Covid-19 have had to postpone the project. I emailed the couple asking if they had someone to mow the property and I take it that I upset them because the lady didn't reply to the question and had someone put a no trespassing sign on the lawn. In the meantime, the grass is getting very high and I am concerned about pests coming onto my property from that...snakes, mice, rats, groundhogs, fleas etc.... I really didn't want to go this route but it makes my property look bad and I am concerned about the well being of my yard and pets.
Pot holes side of street.
Vegetation overgrowth from 709 W. 6th to 1125 W. 6th. Specific locations and photos attached.
There are a number of tree of heaven starts coming up in the wooded area north of the footpath along the north side of Butler Park (near the Story Walk station number 8).
Fireworks every night for a week is insane, and dangerous. Please move to one or maybe try nights a year. For those who still have to work this is very disrupting.
Can the City PLEASE do something about slowing down traffic on East Morningside through Park Ridge East. I think nearly every resident on the block has complained, particularly those with kids. It can be speed bumps, but can be anything else too, raised garden beds in the street periodically, rumble strips, anything. But it's getting worse now that traffic backs up past the stop sign more regularly now at Smith and Morningside between 3rd and Morningside because of limited lanes at the intersection with highway construction. So cars when backed beyond the stop sign are speeding through the neighborhood as a shortcut to get back to 3rd/highway. Any help is super appreciated. Please reach out to the neighborhood association if helpful, or honestly knock on any of our doors on E Morningside and we'd be happy to provide input as those living on the street are most affected. If you want a handful of names of supporters, let us know, but in short it's a residential street that is full of bikers and walkers and the neighborhood is largely contained so doesn't need a highway through it on Morningside. We welcome any sort of E/W B-line that we've heard about or anything else that isn't fast cars. Thank you! It also goes right by the park! Oh, we did want to say thank you for the new tennis benches at the park though! Folks across the city use those courts, so they'll come in handy!

On 6/30/20 at about 9:00pm I noticed a group of people skateboarding on the stage structure at Switchyard Park. Normally I probably wouldn't mind or notice, but being brand new, I figured Parks & Rec would want to be aware to try to prevent it from becoming common.
Overgrowth of brush and trees making it difficult to walk on the sidewalk.Property can be identified by a lot of tiger lillies in the landscaping. Resident wishes to remain anonymous but provided phone number to answer further questions if needed.
