A big invasive bamboo plant is growing in front of this house
A big invasive bamboo plant is growing in front of this house
I’m not sure if this issue involves municipal resources, but I have been hearing what I believe to be trash collection happening around 5:30-6 am right around my apartment and it wakes me up in the early morning. Is there any work around for the trash pickup schedule so it does not disturb residents’ sleep at reasonable hours?
This car has been sitting on street in the same spot with no license plate for a few weeks.
I sent in a concern several weeks/months ago regarding this area and nothing has been done. There are cars and trucks that park on the east side of Auto Mall Rd, especially up to the point where people leave the Smile Doctors parking area and have a difficult time pulling out as they cannot see oncoming traffic from the south side coming from the Kroger area. I believe this area was once painted with yellow no parking paint, but it is being ignored as it is worn off an no one is enforcing it. It is very frustrating and there will be an accident sometime soon! Please paint the curb immediately!

I frequently drive through the intersection of Hillside and Henderson, often approaching it from the south (on Henderson). I hope the city can consider putting a "No Right on Red" sign there. This intersection has students from Templeton and South High School as pedestrians and cyclists (and from South as drivers). When you are turning right/east from Henderson onto Hillside, you do not have visibility until you have pulled forward into the crosswalk across Henderson. Because of the difficulty seeing if you have a clearing, I can imagine someone wanting to speed into a right turn...but it is a very populated corner with Feast there and apartments and Templeton close by, and pedestrians in the crosswalk could be at risk. I have counseled my daughter, who is learning to drive, not to try to turn right until the light turns green (and to wait to signal till then). If you have your turn signal on, people behind you can get impatient...a stressful situation for a new driver. And since there is a lot of traffic going to and from the high school, this intersection has a high concentration of new drivers. A friend of hers on a bike was hit last year at that intersection.
Stop sign is bent backward at intersection of Montclair and Rock Creek. This is already a hazardous area due to people running through this intersection.
We have had multiple incidents on our street due to people driving too fast and visibility issues for drivers coming out of E Allendale Road. A car flipped and landed at the entrance of Barkley Square apartments, a car went off road striking the corner of a carport and edge of a house, a woman was killed after striking a moving vehicle and most recently a young woman struck our walnut tree at the edge of our driveway suffering a concussion and a broken arm. Totaled her car and the other driver’s car was damaged badly but her airbags seemed to have prevented injury. We, as well as our neighbors have had to replace our mailboxes several times. It is a matter of time before someone on the sidewalk is struck and killed. I have not seen police stopping speeders on our street for some time. I believe some type of traffic calming devices would help as no one drives the 30 mph speed limit on this road.
This sign from Wright Traffic & Construction has been sitting on the sidewalk and yard for about 4-5 weeks. Somebody was repairing something on East Hillside, and this sign was left behind. It had been in a different yard, and as of this morning, has been moved across the street. Nobody knows who to call to pick this up.
Stop sign has been knocked down/fallen and is not very visible as you approach Montclair from heading west on Rock Creek Dr.
