The image is one of the sycamore trees planted along Madison, where the planter space is being outgrown. It appears that the metal sides of the box could be removed, and some bricks as well, to give the trees space to continue to grow. The trees are really an asset, and I hope that the arborist team can help keep them healthy. Just FYI!

I contacted the property manager and she said that this light could not be shielded or dimmed or adjusted for "safety". I would like to see if this is something that would constitute a light violation for the city so that it could be adjusted. I made a previous request about this light due to it shining into our bedroom window after a tree was cut down which had been blocking much of the light. Is there something that could be done?

The bike store recently put up a super bright orange neon light in the window facing Grant Street that says Velotric. It lights up the apartments across the street all night long. Can they turn it off at night or move it to another window? This is a neighborhood not a mall. They are the only busines in the area.

Trash was left in the alleyway behind World Foods Market. I moved it to the side of the old Stahl Furniture building to get it out of the way of vehicles. I suspect it’s been left by students vacating local rentals for the summer.

This comment is for the engineering department regarding proposed improvements to the intersection of Smith Road and Morningside Drive. My observation of traffic patterns over several months suggests that the stop signs at the intersection are not the only problem. The terrain on Smith Road, elevation changes, vegetation and sightlines for drivers are contributing factors. For southbound drivers, the railroad overpass obscures visibility until the stop sign can be seen from the McCracken Way entrance to the apartments south of the railroad, although it may not be noticeable to a casual observer because the sign is beyond the crest of a hill. The highest point of Smith Road is north of the Morningside intersection. Many of the offending drivers are commuters who drive on this route frequently and have developed a habit of not stopping at an intersection that typically has no cross traffic. A Stop Ahead warning sign near McCracken Way would alert drivers to the eminent stop sign. More prominent (larger size) stop signs at the intersection on both sides of the street, with two signs facing north and two signs facing south, would command further attention from drivers. Additional amendments to the road surface would signal to those who are visually impaired, with speed cushions and small depressions in the pavement similar to those used on either side of the center line on two lane highways, creating a rumble effect of sound and vibration. An exceptional remedy may be appropriate for an exceptional situation.
