Turning from Dixie to the right onto S Rogers is difficult, because a couple of spruce in the corner yard block the view.
The footbridge right next to the Bryan Park restrooms has two or three damaged planks. This seems new, just noticed it today.
We own a business building next to Kinser Flats. During covid, business slowed down and people had to work from home. The people that still went to the office became uncomfortable there due to the fighting next door, gun fire, profanity, vagrant people who would be passed out on the back deck, human waste, needles in the yard and on deck, random junk cars in the parking lot, zombie like people with camp sites set up in the yard and huge amounts of trash. We have had to replace Hvac (5 units) 2 times due to vandalism and had a concrete block thrown through a window, another window cracked, lots of broken outdoor furnishings, torn up masonry and lawn equipment stolen from shed that was also completely torn down. As a result of all of this, the value of the property has gone down significantly. We would like to get back into the building to do business and would like help/cooperation with the city and the people running Kinser Flats to make this possible. This building was a beautiful and safe place to work and do business before Kinser Flats and now it is unsafe and impossible upkeep. Please help!!!!!!!!!! Lucinda Farkas Owner, 441 W Gourley Pike
Someone left a shopping cart filled with their belongings and it is blocking the sidewalk. I’m not sure if they are living in the bushes or abandoned the cart but it has been there for more than 2 days. It is up against the back yard fences of Sherwood oaks, in the arbor of trees/bushes at the intersection of Allendale and Winslow Rd, just east of the 3 way stop. Additionally, I felt very unsafe walking through this hidden area with the potential of someone hiding in the bushes and the cart blocking more than half of the available walking space.
