Tree branch blocking the road
Tree branch blocking the road
Tree limb still attached to tree is blocking most of the road. If it's not here, it was near 14th and Madison
There is a construction cut in the road on 17th that is really deep to go over. There weren’t any signs warning of a big bump. The car behind me severely swerved out of the way to miss it. This is move in week, this is a dangerous situation!
Ford Broncho with Illinois plates (see attached) parked in alley behind house to the south.
Car parked in alley
Car parked on road, seems that there are more than 3 unrelated adults living in this rental house.
Many places on third street, but particularly driving onto Kimble, where you cant see incoming traffic coming up.
Because of all the new construction in the area, there are a *huge* number of cars now vying for the limited spaces. The result is that people are parking in places they shouldn't, and backyards have become parking lots. This location is only one example. On the alley south of the house, over the weekend there was a Lexus with Illinois plates (AC7_2559) parked in the alley, blocking it. At other times (including this morning) another vehicle was parked in the same location (dark red Hyundai Santa Fe, photo attached). This problem will only get worse if Planning continues to allow developers to increase density in this area. There are already *NO* parking spots available on the streets. None. Zilch. It is no wonder people are parking in the alleys.
The mid-block alley between 10th & cottage grove has had a car parked in it for 48 hours. It never leaves. Everyone in the block uses this alley to egress over 50 apartments if going south. It is a very well-used alley. This person has turned it into their personal parking spot.
