Together, We Can Do This! Will You Help Us?
Consider this an open invitation for new ideas relative to the plight of the homeless. This is not our area of expertise, but we know a few individuals who have years of hands-on experience in this area. We will definitely…
This has been on the ground for a while now. Just took the photo today. It will be interesting to see what happens on this site.
This black offers constant resistance. We are using a new plugin to help us better calibrate to see how long issues can go without being addressed. Latency is the operative term here, for it does appear that serious issues can…
This is a classic example of a block with recurring issues. The vacant, City-owned lot does little to help the cause. It wouldn’t be significant if the block didn’t have housing, which it does on the other end. This can…
We are familiar with this location and have seen this before. Notice the squirrel on the ground? Definitely monitoring…
Fire hydrant partially-obstructed by tall vegetation near 58th & S. State St. In this section of the city, we see this frequently. Cannot be good. This is another issue that is easy to spot, yet apparently, difficult to track. Let’s…
Open dumpsters present a host of obvious issues. If the condition goes unaddressed for weeks, the situation becomes all-the-more significant.
Some issues go unresolved for extended periods of time. When one takes a block-by-block approach, it is easy to notice that this particular section of Wabash has significant latency issues. We recently modified the site’s code to more effectively track…
A robust pile of fly-dumped wood (w/nails) and additional construction-related debris. This has been in place for some time, now, but the photo was just now posted… This can be totally rectified with communal support.
This definitely jumped out at us. Fly dumping tends to occur in areas where the is an abundance of embedded filth (trash). Tracking latency is one way to help target problematic areas. Our posts now indicate the amount of time…
The trash has become embedded in this particular location. Over time, the items will get bleached by the sun as additional debris accumulates. This can definitely be dialed out.
