On the ridge overlooking the northernmost part of the B-Line - close to where the B-Line intersects with Adams St. there is a growing camp. The picture here was taken on 4/1/2024. There is trash flowing downhill from the camp on the ridge. Some of the trash includes at least 3 propane tanks. The camp is less than 0.25 miles from homes and a park. It is a bit scary to think that the campers might be using the propane inside their tents. What can be done to help these folks stay warm and dry without the risk of blowing up a neighborhood?
There is an encampment to the east of Somersbe along the access road that runs parallel to Rogers Road that is hazardous and toxic. Earlier in the summer this was reported anonymously for fear of retaliation. Apparently 3 entities own the property - the city, county, and a railroad. All that has happened so far to address this problem is a huge dumpster being moved to the access road and MORE people moving to the encampment when Switchyard Park was cleared. I am sending a plea for clean up. I am not representing specific people in the Somersbe neighborhood, but alerting your office to the issues that have been discussed. This morning open fires were burning along the access road. There is garbage, human and animal waste, unleaded dogs, along with illegal camping sites. At the beginning of June 2024 police were called because of a disturbance including threats of murder, and the fire department was called because of all the smoke. Our backyards are no longer safe, it is difficult to sleep with open windows or be in our yards or on our decks because of the smoke, screaming, and safety of being chased. This apparently happened to at least 2 residents this summer. A dumpster does not equate to crisis management. It is difficult to communicate when we have to do it anonymously for fear of retribution. I am not being redundant, I am providing documentation.

Please have police take a day to enforce 3rd and college at 515pm people west from 3rd turning left to go south on college constantly knowingly blocking the intersection knowing they won't make it through with the back up on college. Just clogs everything even more.
At the corner of Woodburn and W.15th St. there is a house covered over with growth. It grows out so far plus there is a dead truck that never moves that you can't see around without pulling way out in the street. I've been almost hit multiple times. The growth is never cut back and the truck has set there for many many years without ever being moved.
Intersection of S.Rockport Rd and W. Countryside Ln. When sitting in a car at the stop sign on W. Countryside Ln, I can't see traffic traveling from south to north on Rockport Rd. Trees need to be trimmed.
Very restricted line of sight at the intersection of W. Countryside Lane and Rockport Road.
Overhanging branches on north side of Driscoll between Lincoln and Washington.
Near impossible to see to left when on Ransom turning onto Allen.
