addicts or homeless rummaging through resident garbages Open

170 Washington Ave. Kingston, NY - Kingston

To my dismay I found my garbage being rummaged through! Not while it was placed outside for pickup, but right in my own driveway! That is trespassing.
This is craziness. A mess was made and this is totally unacceptable.
After a few personal accounts, I have witnessed other people rummaging through recyclable containers and garbage up and down the street on
pickup days. They mess up the recycle
bins and thus, the city sometimes won't
pick up the bins!

Has this city gone completely down the
tubes? We cannot put out our garbage to get collected without
fearing people rummaging through
our trash?
This is absurd. I confronted a man who was doing this and he had nothing to say.

  I don't see why you think setting bottles in a separate from other recyclables in a area outside of your gate/yard is an act of charity or some type of reward. It simply nips the problem in the bud. You complain you don't want these people in you yard...well this is the solution. The real problem you have is that these people are undesirable and instead of thinking rationally you're reacting to them personally. Get over it! You have socially dysfunctional people in your neighborhood who happen to be poor. I understand your issues with safety, but you're not presenting that as your main concern, your harping about a boarding house and NIMBY-ing it up. Frankly, if your truly fed up buy a storage shed to lock your precious trash up in it, or work on reducing the amount of garbage you produce. The bottomline is you are not really kind or generous... you hang on to your tenuous middle-income (different than middle class) status by trying to draw an ever diminishing line between yourself and the poor. If you don't want them dropping cigarette butts outside of your house then put up a no loitering or no littering sign, and hope the wind respects it.

  OK, there is a real problem here, but this discussion is not moving toward resolution. Billy, please leave your negative attitude out of the forum - it is not helpful.
  
  I do agree that there is a time and place for charity, and this is not it. I never leave my returnable containers outside - but my recycling is outside next to my garbage. My garbage is always tightly closed. They don't seem to bother (other than going through the recycle bin and not finding anything). So the mess is not so bad. Don't leave it there for them. I think Billy I correct when he said if you give them a little they will come to take more. Don't give them any and they move on.
  
  If you want to be charitable, donate to one of the food pantries. Giving money to a bum only allows them to buy alcohol and drugs, and if they do use it for food, it will probably be something packaged and less healthy. Giving money to a food pantry (or your recyclables for that matter) multiplies the good since a food pantry can buy food far cheaper and help those truly in need with healthier food.
  
  I don't want to judge people who are rummaging to get returnables, but no one should encourage them. Keep your returnables inside and seal your garbage tight in plastic bags. I hope this will fix the problem.

  Desperate times call for desperate measures. It is not just homeless or addicts searching for recyclables to redeem, but even folks just struggling to pay the bills. Imagine if you were forced to do anything you could just to make a buck. How humiliating it would be. This is not a new "problem" and its not going to go away anytime soon. Separate out your recycling so that they don't have to rummage through your junk (it's not likely they like doing that), confront them to say that you want you privacy and please stay our of your driveway and offer a way to help your fellow Kingstonian. For example, do they know about the Queens Galley for food and shelter? Yes, I'm a bleeding heart liberal, but honestly, this is not a violent situation or a person that is a real threat to public safety - this is a person is an indication of the sad state of Kingston and he/she is a person that needs help and respect.

  The problem is not an indication of how bad Kingston is - it is an indication of how bad the whole economy of the country is.
  
  But I do agree with the a neighbor. Confront people who rummage through your garbage and make a mess. Ask them not to do so. DO IT POLITELY and respectfully. I've too often seen neighbors rudely criticising people on the street, and that only results in problems. If you are respectful, they will likely stop. If they don't - let's identify the individual here and work on resolving the issue.
  
  Has anyone seen a problem recently? I have not.

Cars Speeding Toward Golden Hill on Glen Street Open

Glen St Kingston, NY - Kingston

This is an otherwise pleasant, residential street that dead ends at Golden Hill Nursing Home. The only stop sign is about a half mile from the GH entrance, at the corner of Marius & Greenkill. Cars and trucks zoom along our street, seemingly without regard for the children and other residents. Is there anything that can be done to ensure safety-- speed bumps, a lowered speed limit sign, etc?

  I agree. The posted 30mph limit is routinely flouted.
  Maybe a couple of strategically place speed bumps or KPD handing out the odd ticket could help calm matters?

Dangerous Intersection Open

592-698 Delaware Ave Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Kingston

Speeding traffic on Hasbrouck Avenue, illegal turns onto Livingston Street and cars going the wrong way on the Delaware Avenue one way street have created many fender benders here. Also cars trying to pass on Hasbrouck Avenue (heading toward East Chester Street) have crashed numerous times into a telephone pole on the SIDEWALK.
What would be a plausible solution? A traffic circle? Speed bumps? A four way traffic light?

  @ Gerald Burke. Would be nice to "know your alderman." Been on this street ove five years and have never met the alderman. Neither have my neighbors. Nobody heard from him until the election period when the postcard came through the mail. Who is Bill Reynolds? The only alderman who has shown any concern for this block is Mike Madsen, who is now Legislator. Madsen still cares and still shows up. Don't know that Reynolds guy.

  I "know" my alderman: that's Shirley Whitlock... I can contact her if I really work at it, getting a reply, that's something else. Getting just information without having to ask: that doesn't happen.
  Bill Reynolds, oh so you're the ward that give us that guy... thanks but no thanks :-)
  He's the majority leader of the council: I've seen him give two lame, annual, "state of the city" reports, where he was blown away by Andi Levin, polite and competent. The democratic council just lets that stuff happen.
  I think Bill will be stepping down? if he's not, wow, now's your chance.
  Andi Levin was pushing for term limits... something, that to my mind, would work not so much to get a democrat replaced by a republican but get an unsatisfactory incumbent out and replaced by a competent member of the party.
  Bill does have a blog, but he writes to it just about not at all and interacts with people less.
  If Bill is running, ouch... that's bad. Anyone opposing him? Can we go for a write in?
  They have a strong mayoral candidate in Hayes, and those guys will come in on his coat tails, and Hayes is not likely to work against his party's candidates... he had to listen, silently with the rest of us, through 2 of Reynolds "state of the city"... But I do fear the Republicans... I mean, even Cahill, doesn't want to marry same sex couples, wants to give incentive money to small business to stay... no way he could have field tested those ideas...

  Here is one of the vehicles from the April 2012 car accident at this intersection. The two lanes on the overpass over Route 9W appear to continue around the turn onto Hasbrouck Avenue. This can be deceiving because the lanes merge into one. Unfortunately for this driver there was not room for two vehicles around the turn, especially with oncoming traffic headed Eastbound on Hasbrouck Ave. This photo shows the tow truck retrieving the vehicle from the ravine, as it landed, on it's roof. Living trees refrained the car from sliding down into the abandoned trolley tracks just feet away.

Bums in the plaza. Open

100 Kingston Plaza Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Kingston

The bums in the plaza specifically hanging out at Hannaford are disruptive. There is a woman named Barb with blond hair, her and her friends are constantly buying beer in and out all day and harrassing everyone for money or a ciggarette. There are also plenty of fist fights in the parking lot over their "camping site" right behind Hannaford in that little patch of woods. Not to mention the constant calls for ambulances because they have drank to much or took too many drugs and are passing out on the benches. Who do you think is paying for this?

  It ain't pretty but it is a free country: if you are not breaking a law, you cannot be accosted.
  There is no law against most of the stuff Bill does. And the laws that do exist, such as littering (he leaves a cloud of litter wherever he pauses), are not enforced. There are no laws about bathing, no laws about having your old body exposed in the park on a hot day when the kids from the YWCA are out playing. It may offend, but it is not against the law.
  We'll hear explanations the the police are over worked, etc, etc, but we know that a truly dedicated police force would get the job done, would make its presence felt. If you want more from your police, expect more. And if that means being "unreasonable", be unreasonable.
  Nonetheless, it is also fine and fair that people speak their minds and share with each other where certain public acts are offensive: that "free country" applies to all of us.
  So, keep it coming. And thank you.

Cars Speeding Toward Golden Hill on Residential Street Open

Glen St Kingston, NY - Kingston

The back entrance to the Golden Hill Nursing Home is on Glen Street, and cars and trucks frequently speed down it, as there is no stop sign for about a half mile stretch. Can anything be done to ensure the safety of the children and other residents of this otherwise pleasant street? Perhaps speed bumps approaching the stop sign at Golden Hill, or a lowered speed limit sign?

Does Anyone ever "STOP" at a stopsign? Open

I live in midtown Kingston and does anyone ever stop "completely" at a stop sign anymore? I have small children and i can't let them play in this neighborhood in fear that some idiot (young or old) will just roll right thru the stop signs on any of these streets and not see my children playing! Can the police please start enforcing this law or can the city please invest in speedbumps or stoplights. COME TO A FULL STOP PEOPLE...DIDN'T YOU LEARN THAT DURING YOUR ROAD TEST!?

  So what's the status here?
  
  I certainly can relate - I won't let my kids play on the street side of the house, but why do we always rely on government to fix all our problems? Hello people - we need smaller government for less taxes. The idea of stationing a cop to enforce stop signs sound like a real waste of tax dollars. Perhaps they can drive through more often and watch for problems (cruising the city IS worthwhile in my book), but consistent police present at a stop sign? simply doesn't sound like a good solution.
  
  Let's figure out strategies to encourage compliance - stop sign cameras? Taking video? When I'm walking my neighborhood in uptown, I certainly will step out into the street to get the attention of drivers who are being stupid. And I do report licence plates. But those aren't perfect solutions either. Better placed stop signs could help.
  
  Let's figure out solutions.

I can't understand why the candidates for mayor are against the housing project at the old kings Inn, It will create jobs and from what i read in the freeman it's not for homeless, it's for veterans, seniors and single mothers with supervision, this is a good use of this land which is and eyesore in Kingston.

  Kingston is a bastillion of the ignorant. The candidates are against the plan for affordable housing because they sufffer from the dellusion that it will become the next Woodstock or some kind of suburb of Westchester County. Put artist lofts in mid-town and try to gentify the area! Great idea--- execept gentrification applies to more then just minorities and the poor. The old hill billy's that live here are not wealthy enough to afford the plans they have for the city and will soon be forced to move to the outskirts, which in turn will increase the land prices in outlying areas. Great idea. Put yourselves out of house and home :-) The problem with these candidates is that they have little understanding of the acutal concepts they are trying to employ. Victims of their own ignorance and doomed to as much economic prowess as a small city in western new york... welcome to your future. No investment in transporation. No investment in city infastructure. No conservation of green space. No real assistance for the poor. A horrible education system... just why do think anyone from more a prosperous area would want to come here and stay. Kingston needs affordable housing because our artifically inflated real estate market is unsustainable and the national economy is in a recession and kingston had been in one since IBM left in 1994. Kingston needs afforable housing,because it's poor and spends its money like a drunken redneck on payday for an example see the pike plan!

  The same guy who panhandles at the bottom of the mall entrance is the same guy who also asks for money at the traffic circle. I am not sure if it is the same one you saw Frank, but they brag at the Clinton Ave church about how stupid people are to give them money. They collect Social Sec. and they also get some welfare benefits, but panhandling offers them the opportunity to get the beer and cigs they need for the month when there money is gone. I am so surprised that people are giving them money.. If you are on of them PLEASE STOP. You are being taken advantage of. Donate your money to a charity in Ulster County or to a local Church that is also a soup kitchen. They need the help more than the men who are taking it and buying the wrong things with it..

  If what you say is true that there are plenty of services then maybe they don't address the true need and circumstances of these less fortunate. You all assume that they have the capacity that we do. Come on get a grip. If someone is on drugs they are impaired emotionally, mentally, problem solving skills are impaired. Mentally ill people depending on the type of illness also have the same lack of skills. If these programs are not effective then what good are they. Find anouther way. Remember when you say that there are plenty of services you keep in mind how many of our mentally ill who required institutionalization were let out and expected to adapt to a life they were not prepared for. When you speak of these people think that they are someones child, brother, sister and they are valued human beings. Now having said that I do understand there are some that really perfer to live this lifestyle but lets not group everyone together. So many services and yet a great increase in homeless children in this small city answer that or is that not politically correct. I'm tired of politicians who feel they can spew defensive remarks however the so called programs have not reached everyone in need.

when they patched the pot hole here it is massively overfilled and created a road hazard. It is like a speed bump in the middle of the road.

  I really think there should be a training school for road repair!!!

  Then slow down. I think most folks would rather have them over-filled than not filled at all. Besides, the weight of each car passing over it helps compact it.

  Is this an issue anymore? Or can we close it? I think things are better, but I don't drive this road everyday.

What happened to repaving Lounsbury/Irving? Open

Lounsbury Pl And Irving - Kingston

In the spring there was a complaint on See-Click-Fix about having this area repaved...the issue has since closed, but the repairs that were supposed to have happened in May are still not repaired. Lousbury Pl. is a bumpy mess at the top, much like Main St. was, and Irving was promised repairs for the damage made by water run-off. Is Lounsbury Pl/Irving still on the DOT's list of areas to be repaired and repaved?

  I posted this complaint four months ago. Add this time to the amount of the time the original post was made last April.
  
  This coming April it will have been ONE YEAR since the DOT said Lounsbury/Irving was on their list of paving priorities.
  
  After the spring run-off Irving will be even worse. PLEASE put the Irving/Lounsbury corner further up on your priority list and get it taken care of. THANK YOU

  I have been requesting this for a while, just sent email to DPW making sure problem streets are on their radar for repaving requests.
  This is not 1st ward, but I do live nearby and am curious about flood damages in the past. Contact me and I'll see what I can find out for you.

  No, this issue HAS NOT been fixed and is getting worse! Each rainstorm makes the roads at the top of Lounsbury and Irving more and more broken up and unstable while the bottoms of Lounsbury and Irving get the runoff. Lounsbury is a very long road and the work needs to begin asap in much the same manner that Main street was repaired. My guess is it will turn out to be just as big a project with the same pitfalls. But now the DPW knows what they're working against.
  
  This is the second see Click Fix complaint. In the original complaint the DPW said it was on the list to be fixed in May.
  OF 2010!!!! It has been over a year since that assurance.

Homeless man who lives in his car.. Archived

Vandeusen St. Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Kingston

There has been an ongoing problem with a man named Bill P. for more than a month on my street. He is homeless and lives in his car often. His car was on my street on Vandeusen. He was told by Perry's to move it off of the street last night due to the fact that it had been sitting there for more than 3 weeks. The engine is blown in the car. Last night Bill pushed the car )with the help of a friend ) in front of my house on Vandeusen St. I told him to move it or lose it because I was calling KPD.. He then pushed it around Broadway to M&L Nail Salon across from Perry's where it sits right now as we speak.. I called the police last night at 8pm and reported this behavior. NO RESPONSE. I called back around 8;20.NO RESPONSE. I called again at 8: 30 and was told that an officer would check this out.. STILL NO OFFICER SHOWED UP. I can see the car from my window. By 9pm I gave up.. I watched 3 KPD cars go down Broadway and not one stopped and looked at the car. Not one called me or stopped at my residence to ask me about this problem.. They ask your name, phone number and sometimes your social security number.. Why? because I live on Vandeusen St.. This is B.S in CAPS.. This man is a problem. He urinates by the car. has defecated by Perry's building and he lives in his car, but KPD has said it is registered and the tags are good, but the car does not run.. For that fact alone it should be removed from the city streets. Now it is this poor lady's problem. She has a great business and does not want riff-raff parking in her lot.. What a shame no one is doing anything.. I can not solve this on my own.. I need help!!!!

  Last time I saw the car it was still at M&L nail salon on Saturday when the police were questioning Bill . He was siting in the car and the owner of the salon was yelling she wanted him removed from the parking lot.. I did not know where the car went after that? Thanks for letting every one know.. I feel better now.. He is living in the Academy Green Park during the day and night.. A new problem!!!!!
