We need this dealt with ASAP. I am prepared to call the news to report on the tire dumping and lack of response. If this happened in the West End it would be resolved already.

I've contacted the media.

Are you serious? This issue is NOT closed.

I am attaching a photo from a week and a half ago.

It's true that the tires that were actually left on the street are no longer there, but there are still DOZENS of tires that just are over the rail. It is impossible to not see them. They are visible to anyone walking or driving by. This is the 1900 block of Fenton St. in Montrose.

That location is city of Richmond property (it is not private property). Please do not allow it to become a dumping ground.

I saw the city employee load one tire onto his truck and drive away (this past Friday). I have a sneaking suspicion he just rolled the rest of the tires down the hill, because he felt like there were too many for him to clean up alone (and he is right--there are too many for one person to clean up alone--there are 50-70 tires down there!!!).

This will become a major problem once mosquito season begins. They will all collect water and allow for mosquito breeding.

VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!! I will continue to monitor this situation and hope it is resolved very soon.

This ticket is closed in the City's Work Order system.

THIS LOCATION WAS INSPECTED BY EB (INSPECTOR), BULK & BRUSH DEPT. DOES NOT SERVICE HILLS. THIS IS A COMMUNITY SERVICE ISSUE.

So what happens if people start dumping appliances there? It just remains there for the rest of eternity?

I am asking a serious question, because how does the neighborhood get this resolved without City help? This is apparently City property, and not privately owned.

Please direct us toward the appropriate department who can resolve this eyesore and also public health hazard...

This request has been received and submitted to the City agencies for review and appropriate action.

We are sorry, but Code Enforcement for the City of Richmond only enforces private property maintenance issues. This would not fall into that category. It seems to be an issue for either Roadway maintenance or Parks and recreation. We will forward a copy of your request to both departments
