PORTAGE

Trash of all sorts all over the front yard and driveway including a large pile on the curb lawn (city property) that's spilling into the street (see photo taken this morning). Garbage toters on the driveway but apparently not used.

All kinds of clutter/litter/tents outside and in the back yard. Eye sore for the city park entrance

They have homeless people living in tents and cars and an RV parked in the drive. They have free range chickens wondering around.

there is a duplex on westnedge and it sits across the street from Cliffwood. The person that lives there has so much junk in the North Side and back yard out in the open it is unsightly and its growing

There is seemingly a homeless woman residing at the old Clark gas station on S. Westnedge and Schuring Rd. There are a heap of items at this closed gas station and a woman sleeps beside it.

Can she receive some assistance?

The city needs to do more than put up a sign to deal with the traffic mess caused by Panda Express. It is creating a hazard for drivers on Westnedge.

Closed gas station at intersection of S Westnedge and Schuring..this has been reported before and received response back from the city stating no violation. The grass and weeds are over two feet high and the property is a mess. Can the city explain how this is not an ordinance violation?

There is quite a bit of sand on the side of the road at the end of the bike path. This is a huge hazard to cyclists, especially at a junction where they have to make a fairly tight turn. Someone could easily be looking for traffic or pedestrians, miss seeing the sand, and lose traction and fall

Somebody made a submission about a potentially dangerous cyclist and Public Safety requested more information and later stated that no response was given to their request.

Unfortunately, most (if not all) submissions state: "Public commenting and status changes are not available for this request."

This either needs to be changed or city departments need to be made aware that the public is unable to respond with additional details to make investigating submissions less labor intensive.

P.S. I know nothing about the cyclist issue, I stumbled on the report and found the situation "humorous".

The plows went down wrenbury, leawood and sandpiper this morning 1/31 to clear snow. Then left the rest of the neighborhood streets full of snow.

My wife and I walk more outside since the pandemic. Our route takes us through Millinium park, south on Westnedge to Centre; Centre to Kingston then to Celery Flats down the trails and back. Most of the businesses along Westnedge on this route don’t remove sidewalk snow or ice. That includes city park sidewalks. The stretch east from the Westnedge/Centre intersection to Kingston is ice and snow covered (except for the community center and the funeral home). The folks on Kingston generally do a great job except for a few residents. I recommend the city keep the bike/walking trails free of ice and snow because they’re being used more during the pandemic. I live on Sparrow Ridge St. The house at the corner of our subdivision (805 Romence) never removes sidewalk snow. The plows add layer upon layer over the winter forcing us to walk in the bike path in front of this house and adjacent lot. Perhaps you can use city snow removal equipment for offending parties and charge them for the cost of removal? Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Glenn McDaniel
