The alley behind Mrs. Gwin, from 15th to 16th St, is over grown with weeds. Since 1940, she has always kept it mowed. She's 81, was just in the hospital, so can no longer do so. City crews have graveled and trimmed the rest of the entire alley from Walnut to Dunn, except the block behind her. She feels it's time for the city to take over this part of the alley too.
the property at the Southwest corner of 16th & Woodburn Ave has been vacant for 7 years, and is on a large wooded lot. The yard is uncared for. Complaintant saw a rat go into the structure.
Mr. Leiter is calling b/c he feels that there is very poor planning when it comes to sidewalks currently being installed on E. 3rd St., and in the past on Smith Road. Concrete is being placed around the mailbox posts which will rott or rust way before the concrete will erode. He is thinking of the disabled who can access the sidewalks due to the curb cuts, but then once they're on it they cannot utilize it because the mailboxes get in the way!
