November of 2013 my truck died and I decided to try to go all of 2014 without a vehicle. So far so good. I hike and bike the B-line a LOT at all times of day/night. I have recently noticed more of a police presence there, I'm guessing in response to the recent crime spree there. I've also noticed police talking with parks workers there and stickers (on the parks worker's vehicles) alerting us that the park workers can alert police (and I imagine EMS) if needed. Today I saw a city worker bush hogging a bunch of tall weeds that a criminal could hide out in waiting to pounce. I say all that to say a BIG THANK YOU! That B-line is too nice to let it be ruined by a handful of thugs. Thanks again to all of you....and 'book em Dano.'
We moved into a new house recently and there is a car parked in front of it on the street. It has been there for months, since we first looked at the house in March. The windows are partly open and the hood is slightly open. It looks to be abandoned. It is in front of our house, which is annoying, but it also jams up the traffic a little bit because it is very close to the entrance to a busy street. Can I have it towed away? We live on S. Highland Avenue just off Hillside. The car is a forest green dodge convertible, I think. I have tried to knock on the neighbor's door to see if they know whose it is but haven't been able to catch them at home, I don't know them otherwise.
Man in white house next door to 516 (driving a silver Cube) backed in to a car parked on the street that belongs to a girl living across the street. He proceeded to back in to it twice within a minute while trying to get in parking spot.
Obstruction of sidewalk by protesters. It happens almost every day but especially bad on Thursdays. They intimidate people walking and post horrific images and also park a very large van every day. This needs to stop and reflects horribly on our city to have people out harassing pedestrians all the time.
Blocking sidewalk all the time.
Traffic flow and people blowing stop signs.
Vagrants living in the shrubbery behind our office.
Young person (possibly teenager?) open carrying a handgun - not sure if illegal or not, just suspicious
There is an old boat parked at 1313 South Madison Street. The last time this boat was registered to be on the lake was 2009. It has not moved since. The issue is that in addition to being an eyesore, it collects water and produces tons of mosquitos. We have asked the city to take care of this before but the neighbor said it was for sale, placed - a blank - for sale sign on it and it has continued to sit.
