For the second time this winter, the City has neglected to clear the hilly curving streets in Blue Ridge. I have lived in this home for 29 years and this is the first time I have seen such neglect. These roads are treacherous. Please, send a plow this way.
Good Morning: My wife is an on-call nurse--meaning access to the hospital is a critical part of doing her job, no matter the weather. I was disappointed to experience the north side of the intersection of Dunn all weekend then again yesterday morning as well as today. The south side of the intersection has been cleaned wonderfully--but the north side of the intersection has been in poor condition since the snow began accumulating. Without a four-wheel drive vehicle that sits high above the road, I am not sure my wife could have made it to work at any point using that intersection as the snow has been deep and has hardly been touched. I feel I should also mention that Dunn north of the bypass is barely wide enough for a single car right now--and traffic on this road is substantial on a daily basis. Is there a reason why the plow only plows the very middle of our street? Lakewood Drive, Ramble Rd are both plowed completely in general, while ours has only one 'swath' plowed out of the middle. Thanks very much--I wish I could report better news! With thanks, Tom Wieligman

My trash can had 2 wheels when I took my garbage out Monday night but when I brought them in on Tuesday one wheel was missing. It must have fallen of into the trash truck. Can I get a re-placement wheel or a new trash can? Thanks
Somebody’s place to no parking sign on a public street 2919 North Bankers Dr.
Rogers Construction regularly parks their trucks in my yard within 800 feet of my mailbox so they block the mailtruck and my mail delivery. I have asked the homeowner and Rogers Construction to stop and I have put up a "no parking" sign. I have also called the BPD to ask for advice on how to handle the situation. This has gone on since May 2025.
Grass has not been mowed for about a month.
A tree branch fell onto the sidewalk. The entire tree at this point should probably be removed.
I would like to request that the "volunteer" workers that are cutting new trails into a state-designated nature preserve across from my home be stopped immediately. The state designates "nature preserve" land to be preserved for natural ecological functions. It's the highest protection the state can place on natural land. These "volunteers" are cutting new trails which increases the spread of invasive species. The ecological integrity of these precious few acres is already compromised by the proximity to homes and these new and poorly designed trails are adding to the stress and degradation of this natural space. They are using lawn mowers and power tools which disrupt nesting bird habitats. They cut one Asian Honeysuckle allowing several more to take its place. Trash bags with refuse are left for weeks by these volunteers. I understand that the intentions are to remove invasives but what is actually occurring does nothing but spread the same invasives. It is a misguided effort and needs to cease immediately. I have a Master's degree in Park and Public Land Management from IU and have seen this happen numerous times in other locations. In this case it seems that a small group of volunteers desired a walking trail next to their neighborhood and began "volunteering" to create these trails. While not a big deal on private land, these particular lands are designated by the state for the highest protection possible. I would be more than happy to discuss this further and suggest some alternative activities for this group of volunteers. You have my email and I hope we can come to a resolution that will stop the infringement of these state-protected lands. Thank you for your time.
