Vi took this call. Re: Men putting up new roof on house at NW corner of Hillside & S Madison - throwing old roofing material, nails into yard, street, sidewalk. Do they have a permit?

THE USED CAR LOT AT THE ABOVE ADDRESS HAS A 3' X 5' SIGN AT THE BACK OF THE SIDEWALK THAT OBSTRUCTS THE LINE OF SIGHT FOR THOSE TRYING TO TURN ONTO WALNUT FROM DODDS STREET. THE SIGN HAS BEEN UP A LONG TIME.
Received complaint week of 8-26-96 concerning water problem @ the alley and sidewalk since the new curb was put in.
Shrubs overgrown onto sidewalk.
Shrubs stick out so far into sidewalk that it forces someone walking to walk in the street on a busy street. Children use this sidewalk - close to schools.
Sidewalk on 2nd St. (by 601 S. Woodlawn Ave.) impassable due to overgrowth of ivy & bushes. Corners of 2nd & Woodlawn.
400 block of S. Grant - east side of street. Sidewalk overgrown & cannot walk down, must walk in street. PLEASE NOTE CORRECT ADDRESS & UPDATE DATABASE.
Mr. Prosser is a bicyclist. In October he sent Jim Sherman a letter inspired by the recent BPD brochure on bicycles. He notes that BMC 15.56.020, which prohibits bicycles with a wheel radius of over 14" from riding on the sidewalk, in effect allows all bicycles to be ridden on the sidewalk. He suggests that the code be amended to read "diameter." He also suggests that, in the future, the brochure correctly use "wheelbase." Please refer to B&PSC and the Traffic Commission. Thank You.
