I live nearby as well and would like to see this taken down.

Bottom of rusty post.

Closer view of graffiti.

Agreed. It the entrance to our neighborhood and has an old rusty post. Also there are lots of kids crossing the street right there to get to the library. I can only imagine that it is not safe.

I'm also a resident of Forest West and would love to see this eyesore cleaned up.

Great idea! Let's add speed bumps down Arbor Vitae as well.

If I'm remembering correctly from my experience in retail management, the dumpster should be completely closed off from public view. The building's dumpster, as we can see, is surrounded on only three sides with fence pickets, which are falling apart. I remember that the dumpster for our business had to have a gate to seclude the dumpster from view... I don't know what the rules are these days, but this dumpster is viewable from Pinemont, so I would deduce that it should also include a gate.

In response to user: Amitch, a request has been opened proposing the need for speed bumps: https://seeclickfix.com/issues/1291694-speed-pillows.

Are there any updates from the property owner? Do we need to contact Ellen Cohen's office?

This is extremely frustrating. Nothing has changed?! Weeds overgrown, trash all over the premises, and the dumpster is still vandalized & in disrepair! What's it going to take to resolve this issue?
