A red Ford truck at 613 S Eastside Drive has (again) been parked in the same spot for over a month now. According to the City's Ordinance it is abandoned: 15.04.020 'A vehicle left on public property continuously without being moved for three days'. If the owner (612 S Eastside Drive) does not want it to be considered abandoned, he needs to move it every four days.
Road deteriorating in this area of Rockport Rd/Guy Ave, there are several large potholes getting bigger by each rainy day. Long term, this area has really bad drainage, with many of the storm drains above the level of the road so water runs right around them and collects further south in a dangerously large puddle, in the vicinity of 2225 S Rockport road.
Shoes hanging on power lines. Safety hazard
On Friday, July 12, a crew from JE Reedy pushed through my double locked gate to clear a path so they could install fiber overhead (in a neighborhood that already has fiber). They seriously cut at least 3 trees: 2 are trees that get no taller than 15 feet, and a pine that was near the pole they needed to climb (Duke has cleared this area for years and never had to hack the pine). They said that they came by on Thursday but they did not leave any notice that they would be working in my backyard so they were trespassing. They could have done their work without destroying my fence row but that would have involved creativity and a little effort. I am sickened, angry and sad and want someone in the City to see this mess and come up with a way to make this right. I have several photos but could only upload one.
Blue, electric "Bird" bicycle #GTH2C has been parked out front of the Grab-n-go for weeks, on north side of 12th Street close to intersection with Indiana Avenue.
Cars and buses regularly speed on this street, often exceeding 35 miles per hour. Due to their speed, they are unable to stop at the stop signs—including city buses. I am requesting that a speed limit sign be installed, ideally one that displays drivers’ actual speed (similar to those used in school zones). Our street and its connection to First Street have effectively become an unofficial bypass for east–west and west–east traffic, including city buses. This is a residentially zoned area with pedestrians, cyclists, children, pets, and wildlife. The sidewalks are narrow, and vehicles—especially buses—traveling at high speeds pose a serious risk. I have personally witnessed both buses and cars run stop signs, even when pedestrians, families with baby carriages, and cyclists are present. The cars/buses still don't stop and merely drive around the "obstacles." At a minimum, a visible speed limit sign should be installed—preferably one that tracks and displays speeds.
Excessive growth
The entrance to the alley at my house (from Highland Ave) has a deep ditch from rain runoff. Hoping you can re-grade it. Thank you.
2 bird? scooters blocking sidewalk/boardwalk
These trash cans have remained this week for weeks. Not clear anyone is living in the house. It’s an eyesore and interferes with those of us who walk along Swain
