Homeless people camping in shelters in building and trades park - complete with air mattress, blankets, sleeping bags, bags. Have gotten way to comfortable. I've called central dispatch/non emergency police and nothing seems to happen. Would like to see lights under shelters in the near future to inhibit this behavior. I am a resident on Howe and am getting tired of seeing this and being kept up at night.
A tree is growing in the middle of the alley next to their business.
There is at least one skunk living under the boardwalk/under the playground at Building Trades Park. Seen it multiple times in the last week or two. Lots of dogs and cats in the neighborhood -- worry it'll spray someone/someone's pet.
A tree in the berm or curb strip appears to be dying and may need to be removed. I've been told these trees are the responsibility of the city. Can someone look at it and remove it if necessary? In addition, there are a few other trees on my lot which are very close to the road, and I don't know if they belong to me or the city. Can someone provide insight about this for me? Thank you.
The city removed a tree from the verge/berm in front of my house this past summer, and they said another tree would be planted in its place. However, no tree has been planted. I was wondering if the city could plant a tree in the spot this spring. Thanks.
For the City arborist: there are two young trees growing side-by-side at the stop sign at 3rd and Fairview. One is a black walnut that I think should be cut down so the other one can grow to its full potential. They are so close it feels like they will just compete for space. We could have one very healthy street tree as opposed to two stunted ones. Thanks.
The owners of this property currently have a contractor cutting an entire tree down, blocking the alleyway. They frequently have contractors and tenants of their airbnb in and out of their property, blocking the street, blocking cars in, encroaching on nearby property. No one in the adjacent properties were notified this would be happening. This tree is old and enormous, and one of a pair that was clearly planted together years ago. They're chopping it down instead of fixing their sewage - not illegal or a violation, but 100% selfish yuppie hogshit in keeping with everything else they've done.
Why is the city incapable of not parking on the sidewalk? You also still haven’t fixed the issue where images don’t attach to ureports properly. It’s a photo of a city truck blocking 100% of the sidewalk in front of building trades park. Glad I’m not in a wheelchair
This is located at the Southeast corner of the parking lot. This is one of several trees needing attention. We would prefer this one to be removed. Also, the broken-off trunk was from a storm damaged tree 2 years ago. Can we get that removed, or at least cut flush to ground level? We are converting these mulch beds to rock beds.
The larger shelter at Building Trades Park looks like it will fall down any minute. I went there for a neighborhood meeting a couple weeks ago and am no longer comfortable scheduling our own neighborhood meetings in the park because it looks so unsafe
