The brick work here is very uneven and overgrown, with some bricks being broken, leaving jagged edges that are dangerous. I was jogging and tripped and fell, causing this huge gash on my leg and requiring me to go to the ER. Please get it fixed for the safety of the community and the children that walk there everyday to go to school.
The alley running east to west has been closed since 11.05.2025 due to a small asphalt repair. I am unsure why it is still closed eight days later. It is disrupting the flow of traffic through the neighborhood.
At 3:54 pm today, an emergency vehicle was approaching this intersection from the south (with lights and sirens) and a white BT SUV turned from W Grimes Lane onto N Walnut Street. The emergency vehicle turned west onto W Grimes Lane, making their paths a close call. This is just a friendly reminder for them to stop and yield rather than turn right before the emergency vehicle reaches the intersection.
Instead of slowing down when motorists see pedestrians attempting to cross 3rd Street, they instead often speed up and appear to only have their eyes on the stoplight ahead of them and other cars, especially westbound traffic when the pedestrian is crossing the crosswalk from The Burger Bar to head south to the other side where the apartments, bus stop, and Pizza X is. East bound traffic is only slightly more gracious (likely because their eyes aren't fixed on a stop light that is around the corner and somewhat out of view.) Obviously, I would not walk out right in front of a car, but only cross when the Westbound traffic is high up on the hill, but they accelerate driving downhill regardless what color the stop light across from the police station is. They accelerate for red lights, even though they are hurrying up to wait. Just overall hostility and carelessness at this cross walk. Perhaps a push button with flashing lights would be appropriate here since drivers ignore the pedestrian signs and painted cross walk.
Owner got a dog a few months ago and does not allow the dog inside the house under any circumstances. As temperatures drop, this dog will be left outside all hours of the day and night just as it was last night. I am unsure if the dog is allowed into the unheated garage, but, the owner has openly acknowledged they will not bring the dog inside because they have cats and don't want to make their girlfriend upset. The owner was dismissive when asked what they plan to do in the cold months. This is a lovely dog that is being neglected regardless of weather.
I’m not 100% sure it’s this address, but someone nearby has a rooster and it’s crowing all the time and is quite annoying. I believe the guy at 615 w Ralston has chickens and that’s the general area the rooster crowing (starting as early as 5:15am) is coming from. If it’s not him, it’s someone pretty close to him. Maybe next door to him or even on Country Club. Can someone please try to get this rooster out of the city limits? Thank you!!!
Speed bumps/rumble strips. Pedestrian crossing light. I’ve been almost run over numerous times here in the crosswalk people are going 40 or 50 miles an hour—-very dangerous for pedestrians crossing.
There is a stand of invasive Velvet Leaf that has doubled in size over the summer. I think it is in a city easement just south of Greenbrier on the west side of High St. I don't know if you can do anything about it but I thought I would report it.
601 Maxwell Lane is a house zoned as a rental property but may be in violation of occupancy restrictions. The house consistently has 5 plus cars in the side driveway, on occasion blocking the alley that runs behind S Fess Ave. Garbage is consistently in front of the house, on the lawn and surrounding areas, and parties from the house leave garbage along the alley and on nearby property. At present, there is broken glass in the driveway/alleyway where cars enter the alley from Maxwell Lane, which was presumably broken during a party last evening (with noise complaints filed by neighbors).
