Brawley management has put up "For Rent" signs in the ROWs at multiple locations in the neighborhood along Washington and Lincoln and between 8th and 10th Streets, and likely at other locations around the city. Please remind them to periodically reread the City Code - hopefully, they will eventually learn to be less self-serving and dismissive of the neighbors.
Recently, the City has redone the intersections along East Cottage Grove to make the corners ADA-compliant. Unfortunately, the jobs were not completed. The installations of the warning plates are fine, but the street surfaces flanking them are not. The streets are all eaten up with deep, sharp gullies on each side of every installation at each corner of all four streets involved (Washington, Lincoln, Grant, and Dunn) where they cut through the concrete to prepare for the work. Also, the bit of asphalt applied to the corners afterwards was just mounded up and left bumpy and difficult for chairs (and walkers!) to navigate. Right now, all intersections are far more dangerous than they were before the project started, and if left in this condition will only get worse when debris, leaves, snow and ice begin to accumulate, and the rate of street degradation will intensify.
A new resident moved into the neighborhood recently who is in a wheelchair (permanently). He appreciates the ADA-compliant corners at the intersections, but he has difficulty navigating some of the sidewalks where they cross alleys. This particular location is *notoriously* degraded and should be the first alley-repair done next time the City is thinking about ADA issues. Specifically, it is midway between Lincoln and Grant on the south side of 10th. Thank you.
The gutter on the porch of the barn has started to detach on the south end and the water is pouring off rather than going through the drainpipe.
Street light is out near the B-Line on North Adams Street.

Around Arlington bridge, public walk way, there is debris, grass, and bushes that should be taken care of for safety of the children and the public that uses this walkway. It’s very unsafe someone could be hiding in the bushes to attack or kindap a child. Ty
Trash and worry in the street taking up parking places
Trash completely blocking sidewalk
I have reported this problem to the City several times, but nothing has ever been done about it. There is a used car business being operated out of a house at 1316 S. Palmer Ave. Deliveries of used cars and trucks arrive every week, and more often than that. The owner of the business has workers working who are always in the street. The vehicles and the workers block traffic, and it is unsafe for the workers refurbishing the used cars and trucks. In fact, that block of Palmer has become a one-lane street. The cars and trucks are parked up and down the street at all times. The place itself is trash heap. I own a house in the 1400 block, only two doors south of this used car lot, and my property value is diminished because of it. This would NEVER be allowed in any other residential neighborhood in the city. There are constantly many used cars and trucks coming and going as they get refurbished and sold. I've had enough. Please do your work.
