The sidewalk south of Taylor Ct along Olcott Blvd has about a 1" of sediment on it and needs cleared. There was some ponding occurring on the sidewalk but we shoveled a channel through the tree plot to release the water to the inlet in low point of the road.
A resident called and complained of trees needing to be cut down and general issues seeing stop/street signs in the area. I believe the area that he is describing is the three-way stop at the back entrance to the CVS parking lot. Trees have apparently become overgrown, making the signs difficult to see.
We patrol Crestmont area often and find many kids out playing on the side walks and street. There is also a lot of speeding traffic through there. We are requesting signs be put up, especially around the area that the new park is being built. Signs saying to slow down, children at play. We would like signs in several places in Crestmont, as there are many kids everywhere, if possible.
RE: The intersection at Fess and 2nd Street. Requesting a four-way stop be put in.
Resident requests speedbumps in the area of 12th, 13th and Illinois Streets. Said people fly through that neighborhood and he's worried about kids at the new park.
Jane Spencer of 916 E. University Street called to report a dead doe in the easement behind her back yard.
Melissa Grange called me and said the ditch in front of her house was clogged with debris after the recent rain. She would like it cleared.
called into city hall - K.Cummings, AHA inputting this issue -- John stated that he has called several times regarding this issue - there are two storm drains, one directly in front of his residence and another that is across the street that are in need of repair. John advised that the grates are too low, causing them to consistently get debris on them, causing flooding.
Can Olcott Park change out several if their "big kid" swings to toddler/baby swings???? The big kid swings are always empty and the toddler/baby swings usually have a wait.
Resident reports excessive trash buildup and trash strewn across properties at Dollar General and CVS Pharmacy off of South Walnut. Resident has contacted both companies and was told to call the Office of the Mayor.
