Description
Graffiti all along Arthur Street between California & Kedzie. These gang markings are all over, on signs, buildings, poles. Infact they are on every conceivable surface.
This shows that the gangs are present and are showing their power of control over the area. I want to see arrests with serious consequences as well as cleanup.

What exactly did you do to resolve this issue? You need to put someone on foot walking East on Arthur to see that most of the graffitti is still there.
It is on the back of signs, on a US Post office lock box and on light poles. etc.

Even when you do someting, it is usually half fast. Arthur between Kedzie and California has had some amelioration but there is still plenty of graffitti left. Even some new graffitti has been recently added.
I have some video showing graffiti or gang signs actually in progress. Unfortunately is is shadowy and facial features are not possible to recognize. In addition the owner of a building on the 6000 block of California cleaned up the mess and refuses to make a police complaint.
What we need are arrests and serious well publicised punishments for those perps who are apprehended. We need to stop calling this graffitti and call it by its true name, vandalisn and destruction of private and public property.

What does it take to get it through your thick skull that you do not get to close a report without identifying what you have or have not done to correct the situation. Furthermore, I expect a person's name to be published as the verified official closing the request.
Otherwise this whole process is bogus. The vandalism is still not completely cleaned up and no arrests have been reported on this channel.

Look you dummies, who are ungreatful to have a city job when so many are unemployed. The vandalism has now progressed to obliterating a stop sign. If anyone gets hurt because ofyour negligence, I will ask you to be fired because of your indifference. DO YOUR JOB! Acknowledge this comment! There is a way of finding out who needs to be fired.
Taxpayers are tired of begging for services that we pay for. Short of money? Stop painting the river green in March each year. Mr. Mayor, you are not cool trying to stick the taxpayer for bills that are the result of prior administrations. Find the responsible parties and attach their properties to pay for the damage they have done. Then throw them in prison for a month or so to send a message that we will not tolerate incompetance and outright cronyism.
