SUV parked in alley not on pavement
The residents of this address have been parking on the street for 12 or more hours at a time. When this happens, the street is no longer "2 way" and vehicles often must wait for the car in the other lane to pass before they can proceed. Drivers often do not have a clear line of sight. The car blocking the street lane is also unsafe for pedestrians who have to wait for traffic to clear to continue walking. There is no sidewalk. This is not the only vehicle related problem at this address. There are always at least 2 vehicles that are not operational and have been sitting in the very sad driveway for years (literally). Vehicles also get parked on the property's grass near the street. There are 2 issues here: appearance and safety. Both are important. I wouldn't want to buy a house near 3616 E. Post, with its constant stream of vehicles and unkempt appearance. The problems at this address continue into the back yard, with a broken down unused shed that is a home for raccoons. And behind the shed are 6 foot high weeds. Please talk to this property owner.
23 minutes left on the meter when I got there. I put in a quarter. I got the message “transaction canceled“ no time was added. Tried it again. Same result.

This is the back yard of the home of Carl James. His grandsons work on cars and currently have 5 on the property, two are in the drive, one of which is up on jacks. Carl does not drive. These cars have been sitting in the yard for several weeks. The grass has not been cut in that time either. Carl has some health issues and the grandsons help out on occasion, and are difficult to approach. Please contact me if you need any further information.
These two cars have been moving from the same place for more than a month, so we don't have parking for a viciante or for our own cars. I think it shouldn't be like that since we also need a place to park
Large RV permanently parked in street and blocking street so neighbors can’t park. Trash and debris around location and in yard. Looks like both a parking violation and a magnet for rodents.
Blue car with flat tire appears to be abandoned. Garbage, junk, and debris is accumulating
An RV has been blocking traffic on cottage grove Ave for weeks. Someone potentially living there.
