Despite the dozens of complaints I have seen on this platform the city continues to allow the homeless to utilize shopping carts that they have stolen to tote their crap all over town. Let this picture be proof that the city needs to finally take action! (Behind ace pawn on 2nd street next to our lovely city adorned seminary park)
This scooter parking has recently been placed in front of our home without notice. We feel that this parking will be an extreme nuisance to our home, as it is located directly outside bedroom windows. We fear that intoxicated people riding these scooters will be close to our parked cars and right outside our home on a frequent basis. We are worried about noise and the safety of our home and property with intoxicated people parking scooters in the middle of the night. In addition, we do not want people loitering outside of the home. We want this parking area relocated. The parking is located at the corner of 12th Street and Grant Street.
Just a few things that the city seems to be ignoring: why is there still a sign at Building Trades Park pointing to the now non-existent emergency department on Second Street? Why do Transit buses still post notices in August informing passengers that Sunday rides will be free in the spring of 2023? Why does transit have a display case downtown with the heading “Memories” that contains not traditional memories but legal notices? And why does the mayor still include a link for donations to his mayoral campaign in his monthly Let’s Keep in Touch emails?
Tic 184936 was closed saying the standard “they monitor the area and….” Also said they return shopping carts to stores but I have seen the exact same people for weeks with the exact same shopping carts. Just because they have their stuff in them doesn’t mean they are theirs. Staff needs to have them remove their stuff and return carts. Walked b-line downtown yesterday and saw 6-8 shopping carts with stuff in them.
Ticket #184913 was closed but I’ve have seen the same person(s)thoughout town and other areas on the b-line and seminary park with personal possessions and trash thrown everywhere around their shopping carts they have stolen. Having them leave one area to go to another doesn’t solve the problem. I already assume this ticket will get closed and say “we patrol the b-line and surrounding areas on a daily basis, and if they are doing something illegal they will be asked to leave….etc”. That doesn’t solve the problem…doesn’t even put a band aide on it. Unless real change is made (legistration) and the city follows laws already in place it will just continue! Please have police monitor these areas for theft, public intoxication, harassment, littering, etc…
Completely agree with report 184905. Why did previous report get closed? Says bc it is anonymous? Ridiculous…unfortunately bc of some extremist political groups in this city we can’t all put our personal information when we have concerns about the cities preformance!!!
This system is intended for reports, inquiries, etc. pertaining to this local government. This can include “anonymous” reports. However as in report #184895 it was closed simply for being submitted anonymously. Are reports or inquiries not being answered or responded to simply because they are “anonymous” even though that is an option for submissions?
Please help local merchants and do something about all the people that have stolen shopping carts all over town. I counted 6 at seminary park alone the other day!!! Contact the police department and give them direction to help address this problem and hold the people stealing shopping carts accountable! From what I’ve heard, the police are currently instructed to not address this issues. The city has an obligation to its (tax paying) citizens to uphold the law!
Frequently see that other departments close reports from constituents, but anything higher level related to administration, questions about policies approved, etc. do not get the same treatment. Are these staff members being held to the same level of responsibility regarding responsiveness? Constituents would like their reports and inquiries responded to. Thanks
There are two Veos blocking the public sidewalk at Rockport and Graham. And Banta.
