Several weeks ago Paul Ave was closed, near the FormPak property, for what I believe was a water main break. The asphalt patch work was poorly done and presents a safety hazard. It is on a curve and when driving over it, at the suggested speed, one is bounced toward the center line.
As we know, speeding in Ferguson is an ongoing issue. I am concerned that there will be a head on collision in this area. At the very least, our car suspensions are taking a beating.
Ferguson needs to demand that the entity that worked in this area come back and fix the job right!
Please provide information on who is responsible so we can lend our voices to a resolution of this safety hazard and injustice. This is how we can help so give us the tools to do so!

The front of this "DUMP"!

This has been reported before and I’m sure you know what’s going on, but, let us know because to us it looks like nothing is happening with it.

We’re embarrassed to have company over because of this dump.

Could you start a biweekly trash patrol for Suburban Avenue and Clark? They are major side streets that are always being litter on my people passing through Ferguson. The street gardens along Suburban are basically trash collectors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inappropriate parking along Jeske Park perimeter by by 516 N Clay homeowner, causing deep rut damage to park grounds.

I recently attended the “Taste in Ferguson” event (a wonderful event for a worthy cause). I thoroughly enjoyed the community atmosphere and great food. I had parked at the WhistleStop (another enjoyable Ferguson establishment) and walked to the Savoy (which generously hosted the event). As I walked back to my car, I took better notice of my surroundings. I was very disappointed to see, along the way, how dirty the sidewalks were, how many curbs were crumbling, how high the grass was at the Wellspring location (are they still there?). The downtown area used to be much cleaner. I also recall a time recently when I parked in the area in back of Natalie’s and the other stores along that strip. As I headed for the alley to get to Natalie’s, I noticed how the areas behind those stores had deteriorated (weeds growing in cracks, trash, etc.). I realize that Ferguson may be short on funds to make some repairs, but it cannot cost much to power wash the sidewalks on occasion. Or shouldn’t shop owners be required to maintain the areas in front of and surrounding their shops?

I was thinking that new businesses would not be likely to locate in a place that has not been kept up. A clean, neat appearance of the streets, sidewalks, parking areas, etc., would seem to be the first priority when trying to attract new businesses. Perhaps this is a situation that the city and code enforcement should take time to review.

Also, I can’t remember the last time I saw a street sweeper go down my street, or any street.

The parking lot of this business is a mess. Large amounts of trash just left in the parking lot. I picked up most of the bottles in front of the place as well as the island on the corner but it would help to keep the litter out of the street if this business would pick up their customers trash.

Two trees have been cut down with 15 ft high stumps left. All of the tree cutting debri is left in the front yard. This has been this way for at least three months. The house is not lived in, and has not been for probably six years. Mold is growing all over the outside. The back yard has an unfenced inground pool, which is empty. Code enforcement will have quite a bit to review.

So for whatever reason, this was deleted from issues. City of Ferguson officials, if this was your neighbor, you’d have this cleaned up IMMEDIATELY! Please do your job and help make Ferguson the jewel it used to be. This is unacceptable, unsightly and lowering the property value of the neighborhood. Thank you

Sidewalk is mostly covered by weeds that homeowner doesn't maintain, making it in unsafe for pedestrians.
