Sidewalk Requests

The north side of 13th Street between Indiana and Fess has an old limestone masonry sidewalk, maybe from the 1950s (?) It is interesting for historic reasons - it looks like it matches the sidewalks that flank Lincoln between 10th and Cottage Grove - but parts of it have degraded to a point that it is now a bit awkward to walk on it, especially at night. (It is definitely not ADA-complaint.) Is there an office in town dedicated to historic preservation that could commission a team of masons to redo this sidewalk? There is a concrete sidewalk just east of this block that appears to match the pattern, but it is poured concrete with pattern-pressed and actually looks a little comical, as if it is trying to be something that it is not. Also, a side note: there is no sidewalk on the south side of 13th Street in this block. If there were one there (especially ADA-compliant), people could more safely walk from campus to "The Standard" along that street.

I live on West Dodds street. Now that Rogers is closed there is a lot more traffic on Dodds. It could be because the yellow curb markings are fading, but folks are parking their cars on the street all the way to the 4 way stop sign at Rogers/Dodds. With cars parked like that when you enter Dodds and a car is coming down Dodds there is no where to go. I am an older driver and its scary entering my street. With the increase in traffic I am hoping that you can remark the yellow curb lines and hopefully keep cars from parking so close to the intersection. Thank you

This Washington and Grimes street light that was recently repaired is obscenely bright. The cool LED is a migraine trigger for at least one resident, and the brightness is disruptive to local wildlife. Replace with a warm colored light with minimum required lumens for street safety.

This is the second time I've reported this. Earlier in the year it looked like they were using plastic containers to start seeds in the front, now it's just become junk and they are not mowing.

This is an Envirosac of cement (concrete construction debris), likely left over from fiber optic installation one year ago. It is at the residence of 2809 E Daniel Street. It was a box of powdered cement, that naturally hardened into concrete, making it VERY heavy. I would like to know who to contact to remove this from the easement? Another neighbor asked the residents to please remove it, however they have not, and they likely do not think it is their place to do so since the fiber optic company fractured their driveway and did not take this box of cement with them when they repaired it.
Can you please point me in the right direction. Photos included. Thank you!
