Excessive Growth

There is a very uneven crack in the sidewalk in front of The Bishop just up from the corner of 4th and Walnut, sort of in front of the tree that was removed. Last night I was walking up the sidewalk and fell on all fours because of the crack. Luckily I didn't break my already repaired wrist to which I am still paying medical expenses and only escaped with a cut knee. When I sat down, a woman mentioned that while visiting The Bishop, she sits in their outside seating area and sees people trip over this crack countless times. Upon hearing that, I too remembered seeing a woman fall on all fours in the same spot. Clearly, this is a hazard that should be looked at and taken care of. Thank you.
Excessive growth? Potentially other issues. Was phoned in, and appears you have visited.
People REPEATEDLY drive up Washington between 10th and 12th going the wrong direction (it is a one-way street going south). The problem has increased this summer. I see at least one driver a day. Is there any way to mark the one-way nature of the street better? There is no obvious signage.
Received a call in to the HAND office reporting trash and mattress out in front of the above trailer.
Hello, I would like to give feedback on some unfortunate observations recently on Kirkwood Avenue and the surrounding streets. This took place last Friday evening around 8:30. We took a stroll after dinner to walk around the downtown area, and it was the first time in 20 years of living here, I felt unsafe. I witnessed people doing drugs, drinking on the street, and what appeared to be a drug deal, right on Kirkwood. I have to say I have come to expect public intoxication from college age students, but I think the police do a very good job of handling those cases. The people involved in the activities I mentioned are not college students. Most looked like they could be homeless or struggling in some way. I understand there is no easy solution. These people need therapy, but they have to be willing to try to improve their lives. I'm not advocating arresting the people. I do think a stronger police presence is needed in these busy areas. I'd recommend posting cadets or others in uniforms strategically in the area. Maybe better lighting and security cameras would help. Thanks, Aaron Perry
I think it would be great if the Meetings page where it displays agendas, packets, and minutes listed the title of the meeting from the Google Calendar next to the date. That way, for the City Council, someone visiting the site looking just for regular meeting dates would be able to see the difference between a meeting and an internal work session.
