Street Lights
421 E Cottage Grove AVE
- Case Date:
- 2/24/2023
An extension of issues #182682, #182475 and #182390. There are four street lights in the block between Grant-Dunn on Cottage Grove. The two closest to the west end of the block are on the south side and the other two on the north side. They are mostly white right now, but they are starting to turn purple like the other lights did on this block and that have now been replaced by normal, yellowish lights. The lights on this block are not yet at the point that they are painful and glaring like the other ones were, but they might be headed that way if indeed there was a manufacturing defect with the other lights that were replaced. Just a heads up, in case Duke will be out soon to replace any other lights nearby.

Along the north edge of property where the alley intersects Grant and under the junipers, there is an old, metal fence with a single stretch of barbed wire at the top. This is alongside a public alley, so the barbed wire should not be there, as per City Code 14.36.030 - "Barbed wire fences". It would suffice if the offending wire were removed.

The residents leave their trashcan on the road for weeks at a time. This has been an ongoing issue for much of the year with their can rarely being stored correctly. Oftentimes, the trashcan lid is open and full of rainwater. In addition, the trashcan often blocks the road or the alleyway. Thank you.
