My son found this needle last week in the parking lot of the Butler Park Gardens. We went back to the visit our garden today and it was still there so I picked it up and put it in the needle box at the park restrooms. This is the second time in a month or so that our children have come dangerously close to used needles. Baseball field is basically unrecognizable as a baseball field because of the weeds.
Three street lights in a row are out on W 7th - at Oak, and the next ones in either direction on 7th. There is also a light out at around 8th and Oak.
The alley to the west of 1022 and 1024 W 7th is highy degraded and a danger to cars and traffic. It is so uneven that it's a danger to pedestrians as well. I am trying to upload an image here but the site doesn't seem to be accepting it.
My neighborhood (Near West Side) has been experiencing a very intense burning trash smell most nights for the past two months. This has been an ongoing issue for the past two years that I’ve lived here, but it has intensified. It causes me headaches and forces me to keep my windows closed and waste energy running my air conditioning. It’s not possible to walk around outside; this only happens at night. There are no neighbors or homeless people burning trash (I have walked around and looked, including on nearby train tracks). I have smelled this same smell coming from JB Salvage. Please help us! This is definitely causing long term health effects for this whole neighborhood.
Alley running parallel and between Kirkwood and 6th street - the section between N Oak and Elm St has multiple large potholes. It needs to be repaved ASAP.
In alley between Kirkwood and 6th street there is a tree branch blocking the road completely.
People consistently drive like maniacs exiting town from West Kirkwood Avenue heading west. At all hours of the day, including the evening and middle of the night, I hear people revving their engines like they’re on a racetrack—on a residential street. Considering there’s a school zone less than a half-mile down the road from where I live, it seems like there should either be better enforcement or more traffic-calming infrastructure in place.
