A red Ford pick-up truck and a white Ford van are regularly parked in front of 613 and 619 S Eastside drive and both have a license plate that expired in Nov 2023. These vehicles are not abandoded, they are being used. Why has this escaped the watchful eye of the officer who drives his white Parking Enforcement car through our street several times a day?
Morton Street between Kirkwood and 6th really needs some increased signage and monitoring for parking and vehicle behavior. Cars are parking in all manner of places, especially along the Smith-Holden building. Delivery trucks will regularly block the entire street, either stopping traffic altogether or forcing cars to find an illegal or unsafe way around. And I see plenty of vehicles going the wrong direction and exiting onto Kirkwood. Please consider some increased monitoring and enforcement in this area, and some clearly marked parking areas, lanes etc.
I am routinely seeing cars parked in front of the fire hydrant at 525 E. University St. Twice I've called the BPD to report it (other times I've left notes on cars or spoken directly to the car owners) and twice I've watched BPD drive by and do nothing. Each time BPD drove by about 10 minutes after my call which makes me think they got the call and just chose not to take action. In the very least the yellow paint in front of the fire hydrant needs to be redone, as it is very faint. I think it would be helpful if they painted the fire hydrant as well.
What is the value of creating uReport incidents for scooters? I recently created Case #181916 and got three emails, the first to tell me the case was created and I should contact Bird directly. The second, to tell me that the case is closed and a third saying that Anonymous assigned this case to Anonymous and providing a link to the case. I also created 181882 over the weekend. Nothing has changed when I follow the link for the case. I have contacted Bird directly before but typically they then tell me that the case is resolved and I have to explain that the case was closed the instant I created and I was referred to them. And then we go round and round and nothing happens. Can we just an scooters?
CFC vehicle is blocking the entire sidewalk and cannot safely cross kirkwood or to College avenue. No signs posted saying side walk was closed or anything. Just unacceptable as I had to walk into traffic to cross.
There are a bunch of cars parked in the roadway blocking the street.

One of the vehicles referenced in the 12/13/16 report on this location is still there. Another vehicle is now present. A person had been living in the vehicle, stating that she had been given permission to park/live there from the homeowner at 1127 W 7th St. The police removed the individual but said they could not do anything about the car. Assistance in the removal of both cars would be appreciated.
