Trash

- 5/30/2023
(Note: This is the third time that I have sent this report. Now, the trash has not been taken out for five weeks. Please help to rectify this.) The owner of this renter-occupied building (Tariq Khan) has not taken the garbage out to the curb for pickup in four weeks. Also, this home has rain gutters and downspouts that go directly into the ground or into areas between the home and neighboring houses - which is causing water damage to the neighboring houses.

signal at smith ave and walnut (by chocolate moose) has a bunch of bike & ped problems. It's not generally possible for me to get a green light to cross walnut by bike (is the bike sensor supposed to work? it doesn't). this morning, we got a green light but it only lasted 2 seconds! this is supposed to be a greenway! i am trying to get two kids across! also, the north south crosswalk signals (parallel to walnut) are generally red DONT WALK even when walnut's car signals are green. its been screwed up one way or the other for about 9 months, but it worked fine (recall mode for east-west traffic) last summer, at least at 8:30am and 4:30pm. anyways I'm teaching my 9 and 11 year olds the illegal idaho stop light and i wish i wasn't!!

There is a pedestrian activated crossing from the Switchyard park over to the B-Link Trail on South Walnut. Activating the signal triggers a red light for traffic on South Walnut, but I constantly have issues here with traffic blowing through the red light, often at high speeds.
Is there anything that can be done to make this crossing safer for pedestrians and cyclists?
Parks & Playgrounds

Please create more shade at Switchyard Park near the playground and splash pad. I was there with a young child and a baby this weekend, and it was impossible to keep the baby in shade while still having a view of the child on the playground or on the splash pad. The grates above the swings do not offer shade, and both shelters were being used by groups/parties. There should be shade structures at the playground and alongside the splash pad. I encountered a number of people with the same complaint.

I am concerned about the mowing/bush-hogging on the side of I-69 off of Tapp road and other similar places on the side of highways. It is destruction of wildlife habitat and there is no point to mowing it since nobody ever touches that area. I apologize if I am reaching out to the wrong department. Have a good day!

The unhoused community on the east side of the trail just south of the Switchyard dog park is causing some issues. This morning I was walking my dogs and noticed a dog running off leash, chasing down deer. It started to come towards us but its owner stepped out of the woods and grabbed it. The dog is obviously just being a dog but the owner needs to have the animal on a leash so it doesn’t injure anyone or get injured by someone who isn’t a fan of dogs. I did notice one of the deer limping.
