There is an encampment to the east of Somersbe along the access road that runs parallel to Rogers Road that is hazardous and toxic. Earlier in the summer this was reported anonymously for fear of retaliation. Apparently 3 entities own the property - the city, county, and a railroad. All that has happened so far to address this problem is a huge dumpster being moved to the access road and MORE people moving to the encampment when Switchyard Park was cleared. I am sending a plea for clean up. I am not representing specific people in the Somersbe neighborhood, but alerting your office to the issues that have been discussed. This morning open fires were burning along the access road. There is garbage, human and animal waste, unleaded dogs, along with illegal camping sites. At the beginning of June 2024 police were called because of a disturbance including threats of murder, and the fire department was called because of all the smoke. Our backyards are no longer safe, it is difficult to sleep with open windows or be in our yards or on our decks because of the smoke, screaming, and safety of being chased. This apparently happened to at least 2 residents this summer. A dumpster does not equate to crisis management. It is difficult to communicate when we have to do it anonymously for fear of retribution. I am not being redundant, I am providing documentation.

The alley on the south side of 320 S Jackson has some huge and jarring potholes that need some gravel or patch to fix them. The other alleys in the area that were helped before could use a little touch up. Thanks, Chris

I submitted a uReport on 6/16 asking that our trash be picked up with this week (week of 6/17) since our house was skipped last week (the week of 6/10). uReport #188966. I received an email at 6:51am on 6/17 requesting I put my trash out and that a truck was being sent. I did put my trash out, but it was not picked up. I assume I didn't get it out fast enough. This issue was listed as "resolved" and was closed by the City. The issue was not resolved and shouldn't have been closed. Again, I am asking someone to confirm that our house will not be skipped again this week. Trash pick up is Wednesdays for this neighborhood. Can someone confirm that our house won't be skipped again? Thank you.
