These abandoned non functioning cars continue to be an issue since my last report.There are now6-7 cars parked in the backyard and the drive way. My attached photo is of a derby car that he worked on usually at night. Between the noise and the junk we have had enough.
There is a school zone sign on the east side of E 10th St., between the Smith Road and Tamarron intersections. It has been turned around somehow, so the flashing yellow light and speed limit sign face NORTH, toward cars that are LEAVING the school zone. Of course, the light and sign should face south, toward cars that are entering the school zone. Please turn it to face the proper direction, and then the solar panel on the sign will also face south as is appropriate!
These hand rails stick into the public sidewalk - a pedestrian not paying attention could run into these or a bicyclist could really have a collision with these. In at least two places. And they have put reflective tape on them which seems to indicate past problems.
The School Zone flashing light is not working and has not worked for some time
There is an apartment complex which has been in business for over thirty years that has had graffiti on the retaining wall for over six months. It is located at the corner of Fess and 2nd Street. I initially thought that the owners of the complex would do something about it but so far, nothing.

There is an alley that runs north/south from E 2nd St to E Hunter Ave, between 725 and 723 E 2nd St. This alley acts as driveway access for 725 E 2nd St and other surrounding properties. The gravel alley has experienced significant erosion over time. I am requesting that the City address it with new/additional gravel and/or grading to fill potholes and areas of mud.
Recurring flooding is affecting yards and driveways in our neighborhood, with water reaching depths up to a few feet during heavy rain events. This occurs several times per year and has resulted in property damage, including several vehicles in the neighborhood. Two culverts carry water beneath the roadway at this location. Based on observed conditions, the culverts appear to be insufficient to handle stormwater during frequent events, creating a backwater effect that causes water to pond in residential areas upstream. Previous inquiries have indicated this may be attributed to the area’s flood zone designation. However, the frequency and severity of flooding suggest this exceeds typical floodplain conditions and may indicate inadequate drainage capacity. Requesting a formal evaluation of the culvert system and overall drainage, including assessment of capacity and consideration of potential improvements.
There is no sidewalk to link the housing area (West Pointe Edition, Bloomington Apts, etc) to the business area (Buffalo Wild Wings, Subway, health complex. Many people will walk in the street but the road is covered and not lit so it can be dangerous for pedestrians. Especially at night.
