311 isn’t as effective as it used to be. Almost all issues you cite here either aren’t responded to or just noted ‘case closed’ with no action.
I agree although sometimes by the time they send someone out, the area is clear so what else can they say?
I do agree that they are somewhat responsive to pick up errant trash. Larger issues like homeless camp behind Steriti, valid traffic issues that need enforcement, infrastructure issues don’t get a response. Would be helpful to see in this Site what’s being ignored. I’d love a chart- issue, address and status. We could reference and actually keep the City accountable.
I called 311 on Sunday, the 9th around 7PM as all residential parking spots on Hanover street were taken up by cars without stickers, many from out of state. Valets were actively parking cars in residential-only spots. The 311 operator response? “We do not enforce parking on Sundays, call 911”.
Well, maybe you should get off your a…, do your actual job and call 911 yourself? Maybe you should consistently enforce your own rules and ordinances in this city? Maybe it’ll be a better place to live not just be a tourist in?
Something really needs to be done about those mopeds. It’s all the waiters from a certain restaurant. They park there and then after their shift throw 50 bags of garbage in the spot to hold it. Not only taking spots away from residents but causing rodent problems. Disgusting.
