Hello, I am reporting on behalf of the Park Ridge Neighborhood Association. We've noticed that this tree has a low hanging branch that could pose a safety risk to somebody walking into the park. Would it be possible to get it trimmed? Thank you!
731 Park Square has so many vehicles in their driveway that children walking home from school are forced to walk into the street. It is almost impossible to see around all their vehicles when attempting to back out of driveways around them due to all the vehicles obstructing the view. The vehicles in the driveway are sticking out past the curb.
I live at 319 N. Fairview St at the SW corner of W 8th and N Fairview St. Yesterday afternoon, Wednesday April 15, around 3.30 or 4pm the school was releasing the students and the usual long line of parent cars was lined along 8th street. I had driven west, up 8th St, past the school, to the intersection where I usually turn right to park in front of my house. Usually drivers don't block the intersection and this allows a smooth drive through in all 4 directions. Yesterday however when I reached the intersection where I take a left turn in order to park, I found a car parked right across the street blocking all north south traffic. Normally drivers in line keep the lanes open. The driver of this car wasn't moving because he couldn't. Eventually he was able to move enabling my left turn and a north facing school bus to continue on its way. I parked my car and went over to the male crossing guard and asked him why had permitted the driver of the car to block the street. He completely ignored me and was uncommunicative. So, I want to know what responsibilities the crossing guard had and has. His job is about safety I believe so why would he permit a car, part of a long line of waiting vehicles to block egress. His silence and unwillingness to engage with me really annoyed and I suggest you find him another job not involving public safety. I'm not being vindictive I just want people to take their job and role seriously. And, no children were around while this was going on. Robert Harman.
I quote the city Ordinance 15.040.020 (Abandoned vehicle means): 2) A vehicle left on public property continuously without being moved for three days. The white sedan at 613 S Eastside Drive has not been moved for over 30 days. Plus has a license plate that expired in Nov. 2025. "Neighbors' dispute" or not, does that invalidate the City Ordinance?
There are two large ground bee nests, both on the north side of the lake. Going from the dam to the boathouse, the first one is about 100 yards past the dam on the left-hand side. The second one is just passed the large bench and the nest is on both sides of the trail there.
Rental company has been notified several times about swinging vine blocking the sidewalk. It has been pulled back several times but continues to be hazardous for pedestrians
The bottom spout on the water fountain is not working, the one for dogs. The upper fountains are still working. This is the water fountain on the B-line Trail just north of 4th Street. Thanks for taking a look!
Car sticking out into street
The maple tree in front of my house is dying. The limbs are precarious, over the road and sidewalk and look like they will fall. It is a hazard to children and others walking by and of course drivers. It needs to be removed.
