Penny Dillon (219.5445) called the night of 9.22 to complain about the loud music at Lotusfest. She said she could hear it inside her house, a mile away from downtown. She said it's "not good for the community to be put through this every year" and she doesn't care if it does bring business to the area. She asked for a call back so she could discuss the matter in depth.

Jeff Ellington called on 9.26 to voice her frustration over something that had happened that morning. He was removing a tree that had fallen on a house on E. 11th St and the homeowner, Phil Stringfellow, had to move his car to accommodate Jeff's service truck. The homeowner had no other choice but to park on the street while the roof was being fixed, but still received a parking ticket. Jeff didn't think that was fair and said the parking enforcement officer "should have used some common sense."

I received a phone call from a resident of the Near West Side neighborhood, who wanted the City to know how much he appreciated the Brighten B-Town crew that was recently working on his street. They cleaned up the yard in front of a vacant home and edged and cleaned the cracks in the sidewalks up and down the block. The resident frequently walks in his neighborhood, and has noticed improvements throughout. Kudos to the Public Works department!

Mr. Walls is very happy that sand on the streets is removed once not needed, especially for children riding bikes etc., but he wonders why the city doesn't "filter/screen" it to recycle it for use during the rest of the winter season? He noted the method of "screening" for re-use - has street dept. considered this? He thinks it would be more cost-effective. If screening for re-use is NOT feasible, could sand be recycled for use as "fill material" for other city projects (Utilities dept.)?
