A citizen called in to complain that the owner of a property located at the N/E corner of W. 5th & Fairview Street has not mowed the grass. The grass in the back yard is very tall.
Picture is on property of 206 s Fairview and looking east. Huge hole. Unclear if sinkhole as area of old quarry or if recent digging for fiber optic contributing. Hole is about 1 ft across and about 2 foot wide. It caverns under the road slightly and appears to go deeper under the property on 206. Since there is no side walk, people often walk on the grass in that exact area. I walk this way often and first time seeing it this evening.
faxed ddh/ missed pick-up/other:
#Y###O### Resident said Xmas tree was missed -- crews probably haven't been there yet (8:30 am)
Mr. Stockwell feels the city should pick up branches and debris from private residences without them having to reduce the yard waste to 4ft. bundles. He feels it is the city's responsibility to help residents with this type of clean up (especially after a strom like this one!), and we should not be so restrictive in how we do so. Mr. Stockwell sepcifically requested a call back on this matter.
I would like to suggest that 2 speed bumps be installed on S Jackson St between 3rd St and 4th St. Drivers use this route as a shortcut when traveling east-west on W Kirkwood and W 3rd. They avoid the light at Kirkwood and Rogers to save time by driving fast on S Jackson St. The drivers usually speed along S Jackson St, making for a dangerous situation. At least, a study of traffic patterns on S Jackson should be conducted.
There is a large/full/mature mulberry tree hanging over power lines, utility lines, cable and telephone wires. The tree is specifically at the edge of the alley entering Jackson St from the property address listed above. In storms the branches bounce off the power lines and causes a lot of sparks. Cars are parked very close to this and concern is of fire or tearing down the power lines if a branch were to fall. Recommending a thorough cut back of large branches back to mid alley. Duke came out to trim some small branches, but didn't resolve the problem.
Recyclable items not properly sorted. Must be sorted for pick-up 945 las Recyclables & non-recylables (plastic bags) waste mixed. No papers in plastic bags.
