For the last couple of weeks there has been an orange traffic barrel with a "Sidewalk Closed" sign on it sitting in the back yard of a student rental house next to our office. I assume it is a city barrel. Our office is at 914 E. Atwater, the first building east of the Subway. The house the barrel is behind is the next house east of us (blue siding, white trim). The easiest way to get to it is through the alley: go up Atwater past the Subway and turn right into the alley just past the grass lot. Turn left into the alley that runs parallel with Atwater. The barrel is in the grass between the parking lot behind our building and the parking area behind the rental house.
I'm currently on bus 0345 with a female driver going eastbound towards Fountain Park. She was just incredibly, incredibly rude to a fellow bus rider. She threw her hands in the air when the new rider did not immediately have their ID in hand, mentioning "this isnt a taxi service" and just overall being very disrespectful. Her attitude was very unprofessional and I could tell the other rider was very uncomfortable.
Caller reports that a neighbor (likely living at 416 or 418 E. Cottage Grove) parks halfway in the alley, blocking access and other parking spots.
Hello, The portion of the 446 between the Gentry East entrance and the newly constructed Gentry Park Senior Living is currently marking the median as dotted line, meaning passing is allowed. This does not seem to be a good idea considering that there are quite some traffic going in and out both from Compton blvd (Gentry East property) and from Gentry drive (Gentry Estates property) to 446. I had a near-collision incident yesterday. I was going to make a left-turn toward the Compton blvd from southbound 446. At the very moment of turning left, I happened to see my side-mirror to find a car was speeding up toward the opposite lane to pass the three cars all at once. I was fortunate to be able to make a stop to avoid the collision. Yes, that driver must be an idiot but I would like to ask the City (or State) to do something for this. As long as this portion of the road allows passing, there are potential dangers for the cars traveling this portion of the road. As the Gentry Park Senior Living is becoming open, the situation could be getting worse. Please make this portion of the road passing not allowed both ways. Thanks.
complaint of concrete blocks holding a tarp on the roof. Caller thought it was a temporary fix for a roof, but it has been there for almost a year.
