Property not being kept up. Weeds at knee-high. No activity in or around building. Looks like an abandoned warehouse. Junky cars being stored in the back, or maybe that is the neighbors. Really unsightly area because of these two properties.
Can't hardly see the house, it is so covered in weeds and growth. Appears abandoned.
The city lawn is overgrown next to the old bender lumber building 611 W 11th Street. Our staff almost stepped on used needles in this overgrown area. When the grass was kept short we did not have a problem with used needles in this yard.
Over the weekend, twice when I was driving on Walnut Street I had the light for traffic on Walnut Street at the intersection with South Drive turn red for no reason. There were no cars on South Drive and no pedestrians to trigger it. Both times it takes about 35-40 seconds before the light is green again for Walnut traffic. On one occasion, I counted at least 20 cars sitting on Walnut waiting for a ghost to cross the street or drive through. Can the city fix this light so it does not randomly go to red on its own and disrupt traffic significantly on Walnut? -- I have reported this before, a few weeks ago, and it is clearly not fixed.
owner states tree out by road close to sidewalk and his driveway has a lot of dead limbs. Can you take a look and see what it needs.
Numerous "Big Sale" signs placed within ROW.

Hello- The drain in our cul de sac regularly is clogged and I've written about this before. The pipe which runs from the drain to the city easement drainage creek, runs through our back yard. The city sent out a crew several years ago and Phil Peden emailed with pictures saying there were multiple breaches as someone (before we moved here in 2011) connected to the pipe with gutter discharges or something. He said it was our responsibility to fix the pipe, but since it deals with city water using our property, I was hoping the city could help us. We have regularly had water in our basement since moving here and have spent thousands of dollars drying it. The whole water from the neighborhood comes towards us, as well as the golf course water down the service road in our backyard. Our neighbors' yard along creek is overwhelmed with water as well. For some reason, I'm unable to attach a video of the creek from the last big rain on May 20, so if you give me an email, I can send it that way. Thanks for your help .Kevin Murphy 917 374 8069
