Messages such as the large "Black Lives Matter" painted on Winslow Way is accepted as a moral statement but is also viewed as political speech that advocates the defunding of police departments and other actions that ultimately impact public safety. Remarks by members of our City Council favor exploring the defunding of our Police Department as documented in the Bainbridge Island Review. These public statements by the City Council should make us all ask ourselves if we are being responsibly represented. Since painting messages on public streets now appears to be accepted as free speech it will be interesting to watch which speech we tolerate and whether free speech actually exists in Bainbridge Island at all.

The intersection of Sunrise & Valley has two stop signs. Traffic travelling on Sunrise must stop at the intersection but traffic on Valley does not. This creates a dangerous situation for cars on Sunrise.This intersection needs to be a four-way stop. I live south of the intersection on Sunrise, when I approach the intersectio (heading north)n I often cannot see the traffic on Valley becaus to the left, large US post office truck park on the stree and, on the right there's a hill and trees that make it hard to see approaching cars. This is actually a very busy intersection during the day and it seems like an oversight that it's not already a four-way stop. Similar problems apply when driving south on Sunrise.
Thanks,

The stretch of Hidden Cove Rd. road from the intersection with Henderson Rd down to the large group of mailboxes near 6336 Hidden Cove Rd is in a state EXTREME deterioration. This has been a problem for several YEARS now and the city has done nothing more than very tiny patches to 2-3 potholes. This minor attempt to fix the issue is NOT working. We have made request after request for the entire road to be repaired properly (re-paved) and nothing is being done. The construction of 3 new houses on this road has just intensified the deterioration over the last year. Please....our cars should not have to endure this terrible road any longer!

When re-paving is done, the asphalt should be extended beyond it's current edge at the mailboxes. This corner is currently (and every single year) a huge issue with pot-holes in the gravel making entry for residents, mail trucks, delivery trucks, and garbage services increasingly difficult this time of year. Please fill these potholes and then properly pave this corner as shown in the attached sketch.

The dust from the site at 8220 quail hill rd is out of control. Even after a hard rain the dust is unbearable. Is there a plan in place for this issue?

3 bedroom house has been turned into a roommate/tenant situation complete with a collection of undrivable vehicles and unleashed dogs. There's an existing shed on the south side of the house that's been previously rented out as an ADU. They are currently building a second shed next to it with plans to rent that out as an ADU as well. There's no way their septic is equipped to handle 3+2 bedrooms, let alone all the people actually living there any any given time. There's definitely no way that their shed situation is safe or reasonable housing, but I'm unclear if that's actually any kind of formal violation.

The whole situation over there is unfortunate and only getting worse. might be worth a welfare check if nothing else.

I daily cannot safely use the public sidewalk because Hitchcock continues to have a party outside. They are also using public benches for restaurant seating. I believe this property and business are not in compliance with current Covid-19 restrictions. I will complain to the State if nothing is done.

Digging to power line has led to increased waterflow over a private dirt road No permits have been made available nor are they posted They had an exposed power pole and dug across the road without informing anyone We also have an issue with our rose washing out regularly, and the city will only dump gravel The potholes are back within 3 weeks So if this is a city project the city needs to make sure they fix the road washing away as well

There is insufficient gutter along the north side of Wallace Way at the new Wallace Cottages between Madison and Nakata. Water drains across the roadway creating a possible ice hazard. This road is used by bicycle commuters in the morning.

I'm very concerned about the safety of the new roundabout. There doesn't seem to be adequate signage. Drivers appear confused. I was almost hit today by a confused driver.

Believe this is Poison Hemlock

Picture taken today. This corner is unsafe and has poor visibility for only a 2 way stop. This corner should be a 4 way stop. The city's continued negligence and awareness on this issues will undoubtedly lead to a lawsuit and someone getting hurt. Address this immediately by making it a 4 way stop.
