The North/South alley between 810 W. 7th and 804 W. 7th is being encroached upon by gardens, woodpiles, trees/vegetation and possibly the fence and cinder block garage owned by 810 W 7th St.
As a result, the alley traffic is being diverted outside of the alley right of way and onto the private property located at 804 W. 7th. This appears to have been going on for a number of years.
As the new owner of 804 W. 7th St., it is my full intention to re-claim the property/property line currently being encroached upon and proceed with renovations. I request that the Street Dept contact the owner of 810 W. 7th and order the encroachments be removed.
With the assistance of a surveyor, I have located the NW and SW corner pins delineating the right of way and pounded new T posts just outside of the right of way in those spots and plan to post the entire property line once the encroachments are removed.
Were I to reclaim the property line today, the alley would become impassible due to said encroachments. I request your assistance in remedying this situation in a civil and legal manner, as requests to the homeowner of 810 W.7th have fallen upon deaf ears.
I request that you keep me in the loop regarding this issue. I would be happy to meet with a representative of the street dept, with survey in hand, to assist in clarifying and remedying this issue, as renovations of 804 W. 7th will begin in a few weeks.
Thank you for your attention in this manner,
Sincerely,

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!

I have filed numerous complaints. Neighbors are frustrated with this house. Using a residential neighborhood as a commercial site blocking people’s abilities to park in front of even their own houses due to the people he has coming in working on these vehicles or parking all up and down the street. All hours of the day and night getting deliveries blocking driveways for periods of time while doing pick ups or delivery. Now they’re painting vehicles outside on the street area that’s causing overspray which I’ve already caused an issue on my last car I had. They shouldn’t be spray painting anything outside with all these vehicles out here. The next complaint goes higher up whatever it is this has got to stop. They block roads with doors open all the time working on these vehicles, you can never get through or even go that way sometimes to get out of the neighborhood. It’s ridiculous. We shouldn’t have to go through this we all pay. Our mortgage is just like everyone else please rectify this situation. Neighbors have stated this guy has done this for years and no one has been able to stop him from doing it. It is a issue that needs to be addressed immediately.

Apparently the diesel - electric buses enter into a "regeneration" cycle under idle to somehow clean out the soot particulates in the diesel exhaust system. Hot exhaust burns out the soot, right? It stinks all to high hel** and fills the cabin with what smells like CO - filled exhaust. I fear being asphixiated while waiting for the warm bus to begin it's route. I open a couple of windows everytime I board.
Is this an exhaust leak, or is pumping hot regenerative soot exhaust gases including CO into the cabin, er.. normal? This smells awful and scares me everytime I ride a bus in these conditions.
Please provide proof this is not a danger or remedy this nasty smelling problem.

This morning at roughly 9:30 am, a public transit B Link bus, number 2469, was headed south on S Highland Avenue and did not stop at the stop sign before proceeding to turn right onto E Winslow Road. The bus whipped out in front of me as I was headed west on East Winslow Road. There was very dense fog this morning, making this failure to stop especially concerning. Please make sure that bus drivers are following traffic laws, particularly when there is adverse weather. Thank you!

Owner is mixing tea at her residence in the basement of her home. This home and basement has sanitary issues (previously reported) such as ants, rodents, and squirrel infestation. There is not a licensed kitchen and I have ordered and afraid of what conditions my tea is packaged in. No response from business about my order and her tea shop is closed permanently since end of December. She has posted on social media she is working on the orders and other posts state she is working on them in her residence basement. This is a concern. Thank you for investigating. The business is Cup and Kettle Tea Shop. The website says it open, however no direct communication about online orders.
