An anonymous person reported a cat stuck in a storm drain at Brookside and Ridgeview on the Lost Pets page. We have encouraged them to report it immediately but I wanted to follow up and report it as well, since the matter appears urgent due to the duration of entrapment and weather conditions. I also thought that this might be a multidisciplinary solution type of situation! Thank you so much.
Trash scattered about on north side of property along 11th Street. Wild animals digging through it.
Discarded furniture along street. Property to the east across the alley has the same. It's been there so long it is killing the grass. If residents have moved out, can property owners be obliged to clean up their tenants' messes?
Property is regularly overgrown with invasive, noxious plants such as tree of heaven. Parker management openly admits that they do not regularly mow or shovel sidewalks for their properties, and will only do so if they receive a complaint. We hope that HAND chooses to issue fines rather than warnings for this company's rentals. They know better, but just choose to disregard responsibility and decency.
Property is so overgrown with invasive, noxious plants along alley that a tree is now leaning and is in contact with electric service wires. Also, utility pole on SE corner of lot has vines growing up near the transformer and just a few feet away from high voltage distribution lines. Property owner has let the entire property degrade so that what was once a good example of 1890s architecture is now a hovel/shack that is an embarrassment for the entire neighborhood.
Some type of line down in the alley before E Smith Ave between the parking garage and The Bloomington Project School.
Near the Polly Grimshaw trail just off of Eastgate Ln, I saw an abandoned duffle bag on the other side of the railroad track fence. Looked full but I didn't stop to check.
The stop sign at Allendale & Bainbridge is constantly driven thru without cars stopping. It’s frightening when we have so many kids in the neighborhood, & it is a school bus stop. With school starting again, it’s a concern. I’ve seen numerous cars just whip around a school bus there without hardly slowing down. I also think it would be really helpful to have speed bumps on Eeliston Dr., on the way to the park. We have so many pedestrians on the street, and no sidewalk.
Resident at 2730 N. Smith Pike leaves 2 pitbull mix dogs unattended in non-fenced backyard, dogs are very protective and are often left to roam the neighborhood unleashed and unattended. These dogs are constantly entering multiple neighbors yards, barking, stopping traffic on N. Smith Pike. Someone has already called the Sheriff to speak to owner about this issue.
The pedestrian crossing at 10th Street and John Hinkle Place by Woodbridge apartments is very unsafe. I cross there every morning to get to the bus stop on the other side of the street. Cars don't slow down, and I've never had someone stop to let me cross before if though I'm waiting. They pick up speed on the slight hill in both directions. Could there be a flashing light, a pedestrian-triggered stoplight, or some other way of allowing safe crossings at that busy road to access the bus stop?
