The mid-block alley between 10th & cottage grove has had a car parked in it for 48 hours. It never leaves. Everyone in the block uses this alley to egress over 50 apartments if going south. It is a very well-used alley. This person has turned it into their personal parking spot.

Because of all the new construction in the area, there are a *huge* number of cars now vying for the limited spaces. The result is that people are parking in places they shouldn't, and backyards have become parking lots. This location is only one example. On the alley south of the house, over the weekend there was a Lexus with Illinois plates (AC7_2559) parked in the alley, blocking it. At other times (including this morning) another vehicle was parked in the same location (dark red Hyundai Santa Fe, photo attached). This problem will only get worse if Planning continues to allow developers to increase density in this area. There are already *NO* parking spots available on the streets. None. Zilch. It is no wonder people are parking in the alleys.

You just spent $50000-$100,000 putting in handicap ramps and textured strips for blind citizens at the corner of Cottage Grove and Dunn. The house on Dunn, just south of that intersection, has a rope/hammock strung right across the sidewalk for four days. Should a blind person walk thru here, they wouldn't see it and would be "clotheslined"
The east/west alley to the south of the building is overgrown and we can not access our garage enterance.

There is a notable amount of brush overgrowth onto the sidewalk from vegetation that lines on and around the property line between the properties at 519 and 525 N Fess Ave.
