Broken parking meter in 100 block of College Avenue in front of JL Waters.
Hi. This is a friendly note to tell you that the new 4th Street Garage has a trash can on the exteror, Southwest corner, that hasn't been emptied since it was first placed there. It's definetely full and is in need of being emptied. I've mentioned this twice to parking garage attendants (via video chat at the exit) but wanted to be sure someone is aware. Thanks very much.

1. Parking meter is comparable to every other parking meter in town. 2. Meter is clearly configured and marked to accept coins: coin slot, label stating “COINS” with an arrow plus a notice “INSERT VALID COINS ONLY” 3. Despite the clear labeling and configuration of the meter to accept coins, alternating digital display actually reveals “CARDS ONLY” 4. Someone using the meter puts money in, only to get nothing for it, and THEN discover that despite the labeling, this particular meter (unlike hundred of others like it all over town) DOES NOT ACCEPT COINS. 5. Not accepting cash is an equity issue. Not everyone carries a credit card around. 6. There is no reason to make this so utterly confusing. This problem of misleading labels on the meter about accepting coins but not actually delivering paid time to park seems to be either a scam, incompetence, or laziness.
Michelle called to report an abandoned vehicle on Oak Street between 6th and 7th Street. The corner address is 1100 W. 6th St. It has been there for 2 months and its plates expired in July.
Not a huge deal but my neighbors park in the yard off the alley in the grass making it hard to use the alley which gets used a lot...they have designated parking behind their house but don’t use it...
TWO abandoned cars parked in street. BOTH have rear windows smashed out and covered with plastic. Haven't moved for quite a while and have weeds from cracks in the road and curb grown up around them.
Parking meter bent in front of the Buskirk entrance.
Residents at 203, keep parking in the alleyway behind our house and block our exit from our parking situation.
This motorhome has been parked in this spot for the last 3 weeks. It is parked 10 feet in front of a No Parking sign and is blocking part of the street. Two cars cannot pass each other in this area.
