Ferguson Dog Park Large Dog Area chain link fence has been compromised. If you begin walking East along the fence behind the picnic tables you will see an section of the bottom of the fencing that has been damaged, probably by a riding mower. The horizontal cable at the bottom has become loose and dogs will soon be able to escape if it is not repaired.
There is construction happening in the alleyway of 111 E 6th St, which is behind the Btown Smoke Time (corner of walnut and sixth). My apartment is in this alleyway, and there is no other access besides the alley door. The construction is currently blocking me from entering my apartment, and is blocking my roommate from leaving the apartment, because they have torn the alley out and blocked any alley entrance with heavy machinery. While I’m sure this was a necessary project, this is something that needs to be informed to residents if they are going to be blocking them inside/outside of their homes.
Trash container left in the street after trash pick up day.

Two Bird scooters were abandond on the sidewalk in front of our house last week. My husband filed a report on August 8 and spoke to someone at HAND, who submitted the information, and it was assigned to Jeffrey Jackson. My husband left several messages to Jackson's office over a period of a couple of days to let him know the scooters were still there. Eventually, only one of the scooters was picked up even though they were parked next to each other. As I'm writing this, the scooter is still there. I am concerned because parking a scooter on a sidewalk is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. If nothing is done today, I will contact the Mayor's office with my concern.

I was struck by a car June 2 about 8 a.m. as I was crossing 6th St on the B Line. I was about 3 steps into the intersection when it happened. A young man helped me up. I’m not ready to relive the event, so I won’t go into details now. My daughter came to take me to ER. I am getting much better and continuing to walk on the BLine with great caution. The intersection f 6th and the B Line is not marked well. Some days the pedestrian walking sign is in the middle of the street, some days not!!!! I’ve seen women with strollers walking across there without looking, bicyclists going across, kids on electric scooters… all thinking cars are suppose to stop, as has been the case for many years. Please do something about signage and white lines immediately before someone is killed.
Fire hydrant tested recently?
