The north end of this lot (adjacent to the RR fence and right next to Grant Street) is overgrown and there is a lot of trash that has accumulated in the area over the years. The trash is not as obvious during the summer when all the plants are leafed out, but right now it's easy to see it all. Broken glass and shards of metal, etc. Probably dangerous.
Trash in the woods looks terrible for the neighborhood. South of railroad tracks and east of Adams st
There is a City bench that is secured to the concrete, and someone has put their belongings underneath it, put a blue tarp over it, and tied it down. It has been there for two weeks now, and it is across from Chocolate Moose on the corner of Smith and Walnut.
There is trash all along the entire stretch of S Basswood Drive on both sides of the road, and there has been for years. I have seen the same trash sitting in the same spots for the entire 3 years that I have lived on this road, and I have never once seen anyone cleaning there. The photo I have attached is only the corner of Basswood and Bloomfield alone. The plastic bag in the tree has been there for over a month now. I would truly appreciate it if someone could clean the trash that is all along the stretch of Basswood Dr on both sides of the road. Thank you.
i did trash pick up on tapp and someon winslow rd and walnut street pike today. but as usual i cant get that strip on country club road, from rogers to rockport rd. theres no shoulder there to the rd so i cant risk picking that up. be great if the city or the b town crew, could get that strip. its getting bad there. i picked it up the last time about 3;30 am one morn before traffic got out much, but still to risky. thanks
Burnt out street light
I'm not sure who's responsible for this bank of lights on a high pole near the railroad underpass on East 10th St. Could it be shielded so that it lights whatever needs to be lit without being such an eyesore? It's very glaring, and the bulbs face outward (sideways) rather than downward.
The fiber crews were on our street and parked heavy machinery in my parking lot, they punctured a hole in my asphalt and scratched the concrete of my green space.
City workers should not be wearing shirts with white supremacist / militia iconography, fuck you faciats
On a whim, I decided to watch the 2/25/25 BPW meeting on CATS this morning. I was very disappointed to hear the casualness that the closed sidewalk on Lincoln was handled. Whether it is contiguous or not, it is still one of the only options of refuge for a pedestrian to walk with relative safety. The impression I got from the city staff is that it is expected and welcomed for pedestrians to just use the road. I understand that construction needs to happen, I just hope that in the future pedestrian considerations are treated with more care even if it is a small section! This is a long enough project (June 2027!) that I hope staff can look and see if other options are available.
