Auto Heaven (junkyard) is parking junk cars on both the South and North sides of Allen St. Several are on the first block west of Walnut Street, which is not his property. Can you please get him to move these? The unhoused have access to them and sleep in them. It's not safe for them and it's a serious eyesore for pedestrians and bikers. The owner of Auto Heaven should be storing these junk cars behind his fences where they are out of sight and cannot be accessed by the unhoused.

These vehicles are abandoned. Or someone has claimed the street as their private junkyard with abandoned vehicles. Can these vehicles be removed? If they are allowed to stay, could you share information about why? I appreciate your time, thank you!

I have lived on South Park Avenue for over a year and have found that the brush and foliage at 1200 South Park Ave (at the corner of South Park Ave and Grimes) is becoming a hazard for those turning out of South Park onto Grimes. The foliage has become so overgrown that it is very difficult to see the traffic coming from the left when you are stopped at the intersection and about to turn onto Grimes. You have to edge out quite far without being able to see the oncoming traffic. It is also very difficult to see South Park Ave. (and any potential cars turning out of the street) when you are traveling East along Grimes. The inhabitants of the home are not known within the neighborhood and so no one feels comfortable asking the owners/tenants to trim their trees and foliage. I am concerned that as the foliage continues to grow unabated that there could be a serious accident at this intersection. Not only is this a concern for those of us who live on South Park Ave., but for those who drive down our road each day to pickup and drop off their children at Templeton Elementary.

Hi there - the Habitat for Humanity build on Cottage Grove has a lot of erosion and the drain in front of the property is completely clogged. I connected with someone from Habitat about it at a social gathering a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure it was remembered. It would probably have more heft getting connected by the City. Thanks for all you do - very much appreciate the quick and thorough work of the CBU employees in this area during the recent heavy rains!!!

Received call to HAND Dept. Wished to remain anonymous. Reporting gravel from the alleyway extending into the back-yard, likely for parking and does not think this is allowed. Would like a compliance officer to observe and issue citation.
