Kirkwood and Morton

- 8/22/2025
There is a cable that is attached to a couple of concrete or limestone blocks on the Westside of the old Smith Holden music store which face Morton Street just north of W. Kirkwood. There was also a large dumpster sitting a few feet to the North of the cable…the cable was very low to the ground and barely visible as it blended in with the surface beneath it…I tripped and fell (8/14) sustaining an injury and went to the Hospital Emergency room…Today (8/22), I noticed that the dumpster had been removed and the cables had what appeared to be fairly long orange horizontal noodles that had recently been placed around the cable…this injury could and should have been avoided had proper precautions been in place….I want to know who was responsible for putting these obstacles in place without proper or adequate warnings…I was told this is private property and would like to get the contact information for the present owner of the building or their representative…and hopefully insure that at least some signage can be put in place to close off access to this area so no one else is injured.
