Trash was left in the alleyway behind World Foods Market. I moved it to the side of the old Stahl Furniture building to get it out of the way of vehicles. I suspect it’s been left by students vacating local rentals for the summer.

This comment is for the engineering department regarding proposed improvements to the intersection of Smith Road and Morningside Drive. My observation of traffic patterns over several months suggests that the stop signs at the intersection are not the only problem. The terrain on Smith Road, elevation changes, vegetation and sightlines for drivers are contributing factors. For southbound drivers, the railroad overpass obscures visibility until the stop sign can be seen from the McCracken Way entrance to the apartments south of the railroad, although it may not be noticeable to a casual observer because the sign is beyond the crest of a hill. The highest point of Smith Road is north of the Morningside intersection. Many of the offending drivers are commuters who drive on this route frequently and have developed a habit of not stopping at an intersection that typically has no cross traffic. A Stop Ahead warning sign near McCracken Way would alert drivers to the eminent stop sign. More prominent (larger size) stop signs at the intersection on both sides of the street, with two signs facing north and two signs facing south, would command further attention from drivers. Additional amendments to the road surface would signal to those who are visually impaired, with speed cushions and small depressions in the pavement similar to those used on either side of the center line on two lane highways, creating a rumble effect of sound and vibration. An exceptional remedy may be appropriate for an exceptional situation.

The unimproved city owned right of way of Alexander St, between 10th St and the B-Line, has recently been occupied by neighbors. The right of way is used as a walking route by the neighborhood in conjunction with the B-Line. It hasn't escalated to conflict yet, but it is currently a little awkward. Adams St is a lot less pleasant to walk on than Alexander. Adams is noisy with car traffic, often cluttered with trash cans, very unpleasant in the rain and utterly unusable in the snow when the snowplow plow the snow out of the street onto the sidewalk. There's plenty of on street parking on 10th. The unimproved route is a bit muddy in wet weather, and it would be good if there was a sidewalk connecting the street network with the B-Line (much like the B-Line - Butler Park connector on the southeast side of the railroad overpass over the B-line). While the route on the Alexander ROW (on the west side of Rick's Towing lot) needs to be defended, if a connector is to be codified in asphalt, the Summit St ROW (on the east side of Rick's towing lot) would be better and serve more people (especially because of the walkway on BHA property between 11th +12th Sts, west of the the gas station and the Boys and Girls Club) if a connector was to be built.
Two aggressive dogs ran (charged) at someone walking in front to the CAP office while they were walking by. The person screamed/yelled and the owners recalled the dogs. The dogs were not on a lease or inside a fence.
Beeline Trail. Kids riding gas powered motorbikes popping wheelies and harassing people. Almost kick someone. I understand you’re not able to act on this quickly, but I want it documented.
