Traffic Suggestions
724 S Park AVE
- Case Date:
- 6/8/2025
We have lived on first st since 2020 and our stretch of road (between the stop sign at Woodlawn and the one on Henderson) that our young child has to cross to get to his school bus stop is the only section of first Street residentially that has a big space between stop signs and no speed bumps. Because of this what I've noticed, since the speed bumps east of Woodlawn and first were put in, is people often speed on our stretch of road. There are two other families at our bus stop and they have noticed the same thing and often worry about crossing the street to either get to the park or the bus stop as a result. I believe we also need speed bumps on our stretch of road as it feels like drivers are now compensating and trying to make up for lost time.

Parking on Unimproved Surface

See cases 164681, 171500, 171508, 202944, etc. No need to enter property - car is obvious from the street and alley. Yellow VW bug is sinking into ground on east side of garage + lots of junk lying around.
Nuisance Lights
111 W 4th ST
- Case Date:
- 6/5/2025
The street lights on the West side of the parking garage are way too bright and low to the ground. The patrons at the Backdoor and the Blockhouse bars use that alley to socialize ( There is never any automobile traffic in the alley). The worst light is the one that shines directly into the entrance to the Blockhouse ( Its where everyone gathers outside and between shows). The light is blinding and shining directly into the faces of the patrons. Please: 1) get rid of the light(s) or move the to a higher location. 2) physically block the lights so that they will not shine straight out 3) replace the bulbs with something less bright and with a warmer "color temperature" ( 2700k). Or do a combination of these things. Thanks.

3500 N Morningside Dr
- Case Date:
- 6/4/2025
Sign attached to a road sign on E. Morningside Drive just off E. Third Street. "Hydrant Flushing This Area". I assume this might be related to the Greenway construction as a hydrant was moved I believe. No notification to any neighbors regarding hydrant flushing. This sign has been in place now FIVE weeks and without neighbor notification, it has lost all effectiveness. Has Utilities forgotten the sign was placed? Please let me know so I may inform the Park Ridge Neighborhood (Association) of the sign status? Thanks -
