Ms. Rayle stated that she and other neighbors in her area have been calling the city all summer to come mow both empty lots near her home on N. Monroe St. She said that the growth is terribly out of hand, and that something needs it needs to be cut down. She is frustrated because she has to go through this every summer, and feels she shouldn't have to!
Caller is outraged that the program @ the Banneker Center has been eliminated. His child, Rory, cried when he was told the news. Doesn't feel that this was discussed w/user group. Child is in 3rd grade @ Fairview. Father will be contacting his Council rep. Feels this was very irresponsible.
Wiring in Cascades South shelter is substandard. The wiring has been torn out by vandals and bare live wires exposed. Feels apparently the city can get around passing inspection -- he also contacted BPD.
FIRE HYDRANT HAS BEEN HIT AND IS LAYING AT A 40 DEGREE ANGLE.
The property located at the southeast corner of W. Cottage Grove & Alexander Street (1219 W. Cottage Grove) has overgrown weeds and tall grass that needs to be cut down. It is very difficult turning off of Alexander onto W. Cottage Grove. If you call Ms. Angell, please do so after 3:30 p.m.
Disappointed that after school programs for her son, age 2 and daughter, age 6, @ the Banneker Center will be discontinued this fall. She spoke with Sherry Franklin, who was very nice and explained the situation -- giving her other possible resources. She now feels unwelcomed in the "community center" and fears programming will be geared only to older children in the future.
