Resident who walks the Polly Grimshaw Trail on a daily basis stated that there is a Kroger shopping cart filled with someone's belongings on the East side of the RR Crossing at the bottom of the hill by the security fence. Also stated the brush is overgrown.
trash all over the walk and curb, in front of the old herald news paper building.
At least twice in the last 4 weeks when trash collection occurs, trash has been dumped in the street, appearently from the collection truck. The middle of the street is strewn with glass, cans and general trash. The residue is still there from the first time and today (6/4) it happened again.
A tenant in this house regularly drives the wrong way on 11th Street. To get to the parking spot in back, the approach should be from Washington (from the west) but instead she takes what she has decided is a convenient shortcut from Lincoln. This has caused near collisions multiple times with pedestrians who are walking on 11th street (which for some reason has no sidewalks in this block). Each time, she flippantly squeals, "Oh, sorry!" as if she didn't know better, even though she has been given a talking to about this several times. It is clearly marked "One Way" towards the east. Can the police give someone a ticket for something they did not actually witness? What is the best approach when entitled undergraduates regularly violate traffic regulations because they are inconsiderate, selfish, and feel the rules don't apply to them? This is a Chickering rental.
There a many locations in the neighborhood with shoes hanging from wires. We have attempted to contact the various utility companies, but can be an extensive hassle because they insist on there being an active account at a particular address for them to start a service call. It seems the shoes are mostly hanging from ATT lines, but there are some other communication lines (coaxial cable) and also some electric lines that are being weighed down by shoes. This problem extends at least from 8th to 15th streets, and between Washington and Woodlawn, and is mostly visible in the alleys though some wires passing over streets are also cluttered with shoes. It makes the neighborhood look so trashy. Is this an actual crime? If so, should the police be called if it is witnessed? Would it help if a complete set of locations were sent to some office?
'Express Hiring' sign in the grass at the corner (Longhorn) at the intersection of E Second Street and College Mall Rd.
Can the sidewalk and street at the intersection of East Covenanter Drive and College Mall Road be swept clean? See photo attached. Much gravel is on the sidewalk on the southwest corner and in the center of East Covenanter Drive on the west side of this intersection.
