LOST DOG!!! Cocoa colored Labradoodle scared off from gunshots at the shooting range at Goose Cove Reservoir in Gloucester off Gee Avenue. Her name is Stella and she loves FOOD. People are searching for her now but if you see her please hit me up! Thank you, Melissa

Christmas Tree pick up did not happen last week as stated it would. I put my Christmas Tree out next to my waste containers last week on Thursday night (because last Monday was a holiday and because a post on your website said they would be picked up last week too due to the storm 2 weeks prior). It's still there. 22 Oakland St

2 very large trees' roots have made the sidewalk in front of 22 Oakland so badly rutted that anyone with a disability or in a wheelchair would have significant difficulty. One tree is causing moisture and moss growth on our roof and another is impacting the growth of a tree on our property. Any help will be appreciated

I'm not sure if its that Crescent Ave has now become a new major roadway between Washington and Broadway or if the street cleaners have not been able to get to the street to clean in awhile due to construction or something but it seems like the garbage in the street and on sidewalks is REALLY BAD moreso than ever. This garbage blows into people's yards making it very difficult for owners to keep their yards looking nice and it also does nothing to encourage people to keep the place looking nice. Surrounding streets look much cleaner? Are the street cleaners having an issue or something? Are they actually coming like they are supposed to?

Sidewalks on Crescent Ave between Washington and Broadway need weed spraying - there are tons of weeds cropping up in the cracks of the sidewalks.

Last week we put our trash out as best we could, some on a banking, some at the entry to our driveway so as not to block the sidewalk - the garbage guys took the cans for us. This week we did the same thing, they DID NOT take them, even when I ran out and asked them to do so. They said they weren't on the street so they aren't taking them. Here are two things that make this unacceptable to me:
1. The City cleared 1/2 of Crescent Ave to make room for all the teachers to park on the street for the school and yet they leave the rest of the street and the people that actually have to live here with 6 foot bankings on either side of the driveways so there is no place to put garbage at all. I can't even get out of my driveway without nearly hitting a kid I can't see or making a 30 point turn because the road is so narrow. If you think this is safe for students walking to school - I can assure you it isn't.

2. While I appreciate the situation that the snow has caused for everyone and I know that the orange garbage bags are cheap, I think its a ridiculous request of people especially buildings with multiple dwellings to expect them to rebag their garbage and take out of containers just to accommodate trash removal. It's the city's responsibility to ensure the streets can accommodate the daily necessary services that it provides especially when taxpayers are footing the bill. Even more so when animals get into that trash and strew it all over the streets.

Our building doesn't have an area of parking spaces in front of us we can use to put garbage cans like some of our neighbors. We need the snow cleared or someone to tell the garbage guys to get take the trash where we have placed it.

We have now missed 2 weeks of trash removal because there is so much snow on the street piled on either side of sidewalk there is absolutely no place to put the garbage cans without blocking the sidewalk or the driveways. Is there a plan to remove snow on this street sometime? Last year after the big storm a backhoe came in and removed all the excess snow piled up. Haven't seen them except in front of the school this year.

Trash dumped on private property doesn't appear to be anyone in our building.

Flies are swarming all over this big pile of poo.

A warning violation was issued to incorrect property owner - Violation #2014-1-2496 should be issued to 40 Crescent Avenue Condominium Trust, not to an individual owner.

Warning should be re-issued to the following:
40 Crescent Avenue Condominium Trust - address is on file at City Hall for Water/Sewer billing

Behind the garbage truck, leaving broken glass all over the road. Hazard for cars and kids...also, it totally could have been avoided.

Who is licensed to do this in the city? Is there a way we can avoid getting this unwanted material strewn on our doorstep?

Most mornings children are dropped off or walk to the Carter Street School only to stand outside on both sides of Carter St and on Crescent typically from 7am - 8am when they are finally told to come into the building. During that hour and especially earlier in the hour there is no adult supervision, children often come onto our property, to fight, try to climb our trees, leave trash, hang on our fence, break our fence, etc. In addition, the noise level is pretty much unbearable - children will be children - but blood curdling screams at 7:30 am when one is trying to sleep is not good. If I'm not mistaken, 8am is when the noise rules end in this city. In addition, with the 10 or so registered Level 3 sex offenders in the neighborhood based on the map at the Mass.gov site, I'm not sure parents would want their children unattended.
