Mr. Shields called to complain about missed trash and recycling pick ups, but also described calling the sanitation office and dealing with a "rude" employee when discussing these issues.
A Cedar tree needs to be removed. I contacted the city forester a couple of years ago (and got an affirmative reply from him) to put this action on a waiting list. I called once again a number of months ago and did not receive any reply. The tree, which I believe is on city property, is growing into the power lines and is interfering with the street light on the electrical pole. I believe it might also be a vector for diseases of pine trees in the area. Thank you very much. Glenn Gero 8122728918
The outdoor lighting issues at 1000 and 1002 East Atwater have not been resolved. It appears that new, brighter lights have been installed in response to the request to have the lighting shielded/corrected so it does not shine into the neighbor's yards and homes.
Car parked illegally in the public alley next to my fence last night. This happened again (same place, different car) tonight. Picture is of yesterday's car.
Was not informed of military exercise that took place overnight from 07Jun to 08Jun. The noise from the plane/chopper was alarming & was loud enough to rattle windows. It also continued extremely late into the night (~ 2:30 am) which was a significant noise disturbance during quiet hours. City did not provide notice that (1) this was going to occur or (2) the timing of the exercise.
Whoever does mowing for the Old Thomas Sanitation Plant yard beside my mother’s home never mows all of the cities property. Her property only goes to end of fence at back of property as shown by the surveyed stake with a pink ribbon attached. This is approx a 5’ strip perhaps. Please inform mower to mow all of the cities property so we don’t have to!!!
The situation along the B-Line trail around the Grimes bridge is out of control. Tents have been setup along the side of the B-Line just north of the bridge. While riding through this area earlier this morning with my 11 year old, we had an individual come out of one these tents and start yelling at us. This does not feel like a safe situation for anyone.
The City is a real nuisance. There is some really loud, non-stop grinding noises coming from this property that City Utility vehicles are in and out of all the time. What is going on? You are making it impossible to do anything at all of the neighboring houses and properties with this constant noise. Please stop.
Grass clippings! Hazard! The southbound lane of Woodlawn along Bryan Park has grass clippings all over the right 1/3 or 1/4 of it. The park got mowed and a city employee left grass in the road. This is a danger to all the cyclists, motorcyclists, and scooter riders. Can we get that mower operator a leaf blower? This happens routinely around the park and on Sheridan and Southdowns in the multi use paths. Very careless and dangerous for the city to leave debris in the road.
Today I was driving on Walnut Street headed south around 11:30am. A white City pickup truck was stopped in the road with its hazard lights flashing. The City employee was picking up bags of trash and other junk that some careless person had lost on the road, creating a hazard for traffic and cyclists. This City employee should be thanked or rewarded in some way for going above and beyond. I don't know if he was sent there to get this trash. To me, it looked like he was driving along and saw it and decided to stop and do something about it. He was in a white Ford Super Duty pickup with a lift gate on the back. I think it was truck # 936. This was 11:30am on Saturday, June 4, 2022, on Walnut heading south in the area of about W. Allen Street or so. Please, find this City employee and give him a high five, some extra time off, or whatever you can do to thank him for doing a great job.
