About a dozen pairs of shoes are hanging from the power lines over Palmer & Grimes for several months now and need removed (as they just encourage kids to add more).

Illegal Discharge (Storm Sewers)

1020 S Woodlawn AVE

Case Date:
6/28/2022

On May 4th, 2022 I was taking a walk through the park when I noticed a chemical-type smell lingering near the stream that flows east to west through the middle of the park. When I went to investigate the source of the smell, I was alarmed by an opaque milky white substance contaminating the flowing stream. It also seemed to be the source of the smell. I followed the contamination upstream and traced it to a white PVC pipe that appears to originate from the Bryan Park pool facility. There was also particulate settling in the water where the pipe drains into the stream. Immediately after that I walked to the pool facility and confirmed with two city workers that the pool does indeed drain directly into the park's stream. They also told me that they were directed to power-wash the pool area and the resulting material was discharging directly into the stream via the PVC drainage pipe. Further, other city workers have confirmed with me that the pool water itself gets drained into the stream annually. I am not sure if this is legal - and if it is legal, it is certainly not environmentally sound. The material that is draining into the stream is very likely environmentally harmful.

Inaccessible Parking

701 S Lincoln ST

Case Date:

A large white box truck taking up residential street parking. It appears this person is moving this truck around the neighborhood. I believe the owner is running a business out of this truck. He meets people and appears to sell parts and then he locks the truck and rides away on a bicycle. There is a solar panel on top of the truck and a power cord running in. The owner and 'customers' meet and climb in to the back of the truck through the cab and then leave after some time. I have seen this because he has parked by my house more than once. It is concerning because parking is so very limited in my neighborhood and this truck is taking up a valuable residential parking. I have noticed he moves the truck around the neighborhood every few days so he is aware of not parking it for very long to avoid receiving a citation. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Inaccessible Parking

1326 S Dunn ST

Case Date:
4/4/2016

Please have some parking patrols added for 1200-1400 blocks of S. Dunn street, as people are parking both the wrong direction (south instead of northward for the east side of the street) and across multiple spots (thus blocking spaces) due to the parking lines not being visible (which have not been repainted since the original development ten years ago).

Inaccessible Parking

1315 S Dunn ST

Case Date:
7/26/2017

Thank you for considering and responding to my recent report regarding the now faded parking spot lines in the 1200 - 1400 blocks of the south Dunn street neighborhood. Until such time as they can be re-painted (for visibility), can there be some increased parking patrols, as it is common to encounter vehicles parked on or over the lines, limiting space and creating a hazard (which just pushes the next car to park over, and so on like domino effect) down the street. Vehicles parked facing to wrong way in spots, as well as sometimes blocking the street or alleys, are also common occurrence. Thank you. (Email reply - if necessary - is preferable)

There was construction at (Wheels Auto Sales) 624 S. Walnut street and ended about a week ago to fix a sink hole. There were cones left at the location (Wheels Auto Sales) and the owner of Wheels Auto took the cones and placed them on front of business sign causing blind spot for our customers trying to leave our business.

Line of Sight

1424 S Washington ST

Case Date:
3/7/2017

Attempting to turn left onto Hillside onto Washington is extremely difficult during high traffic times. Contributing to this is the very poor sight line when attempting to see oncoming traffic - the hill up from walnut blocks westbound traffic to a degree, and the porch structure built to the property line at 202 E Hillside makes it very hard to see eastbound traffic. What could be done to make this intersection feel less perilous?

Bush in the southeast corner of Allen-Walnut intersection makes it more difficult for westbound vehicles to see northbound vehicles.
