The current construction project on 2nd street is extremely disruptive and causes the building to shake. For necessary/emergency daytime construction this is totally understandable, but the project on 2nd st (between Walnut/Rogers) has been doing construction only from late evening to overnight around 4-5am every day. I have not slept since the construction started a week ago and it is scheduled to continue another full week. Even if there is a permit to be exempt from the noise ordinance, please consider rescheduling this work to take place during daytime hours. As I said, the deeper digging affects the foundation of the building, causing very irritating vibrations that give me headaches and make sleep impossible. It has affected my work life and mental health to miss so much sleep. My window faces the road and this has been an absolute nightmare of a time for me.
The Nail Studio on the East side was dumping their cleaning solution into the parking lot. Eventually, this detergent will wash into our waterways. Our MS4 investigated this illegal dumping. At the time we did not see any liquid on the pavement or see evidence it was entering our drain system. We conducted education to the Nail Studio and informed them that dumping any industrial/commercial waste on the ground was prohibited by municipal code.
There is a low hanging branch that is hitting one of our school buses near the three way stop.
Just had a question. What are the cones at 3rd and N Smith for? Are improvements happening? Hope so. The new bike lanes are cool but N Smith is backing up more now with inability to turn easily. Thank you!
There are branches of a tree that are hanging in the road. I hit the branches, and they almost broke my side mirror. I also started to swerve as a reflex, but into oncoming traffic. My wife also had the same problem on this road, also today. If this doesn’t get fixed soon, it will definitely cause wrecks. It’s on the East side of the road, going north past the bridge.

Storm water drain is clogged causing large “pond” of water on the north side of Atwater and potentially a storm runoff problem for property owners that could lead to flooding basements.
