ColoGuard box left at curb. It may be 'full' and have a 'sample' within it. Apparently someone didn't get it into the mail on time and decided to 'dump' it here. If so, it is considered a biohazard. Could DGS please pick it up?

A construction crew on Corlaer Street caught this little dog running around loose with no collar and asked if I could keep the dog on my porch for now.
Not a complaint more of a community bulletin to try and find the owner.

This is a sink hole left by National Grid when they did an emergency dig for a leak when the temps were near zero several weeks ago.

The cold patch they put there has sunken into the road and it is getting deeper. Not a pothole from erosion but one from the dig with a temp fix when it was cold. It needs a permanent coat.

Busy road. Thanks for the attention to it.

'Speed bumps' created by heaving pipes on Hoffman Ave (again)

Road construction was halted on Twiller due to rain - Luizzi Bros., the contractor left all their signage up and it is blocking two stop signs and creating road hazards both on the street and on the sidewalk on S Bertha Street between Corlaer St and Leedale.

Signs left with screws turned up on the grass between sidewalk and road. Pets or kids could get hurt.

The feet of the signs are hanging into the sidewalk where seeing impaired neighbors walk to the bus every day.

The legs are poking 4" of the curb on the street side, where people parallel parking will damage their cars/tires.

Luizzi Bros. need to adjust things if the rain is going to continue.

The flag at Myers Middle School is in tatters. How are we supposed to expect the kids to respect the flag and what it represents when the adults that teach them and manage their facilities don't find it important enough to let it get to this badly damaged flag. They say the pledge ever day, but this flag flies in front of their building? Not sending a good message at all, IMHO. This is ridiculous.

These can either be replaced or can be brought to the flag store in Rensselaer to be sewn back. It would be better off if there was no flag than to have this one in tatters displayed as the kids arrive each day. It looks like it has been through a battle.

Please repair or replace this flag, and the respect it deserves. (For the veterans sake, at least - because above all, that is whose flag this really is)

I reported this bag of illegal trash a restaurant has dumped here three times. They are obviously trying to avoid the cost to pay for commercial trash pickup. I called Jackie at the dgs Monday before Thanksgiving. I called again on Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The snow storm came and buried it and I thought it was gone. It is still here I have called at least two more times. This garbage needs to be inspected to figure out where it came from. I suspect the Chinese restaurant next to the store it's on Delaware A
venue.
