Neighborhood request

Northside/Northline: 212 service requests past the City's deadline

To: Council Member Mario Castillo, District H
From: Neighbors of Northside/Northline

Dear Council Member Mario Castillo,

We are residents of Northside/Northline in District H. As of Sep 27, 2026, 212 City service requests in our neighborhood are open past the City's own deadline, and 77 have waited more than a year. From Aug 2024 to Aug 2025, the City missed its deadline on 33% of requests here (about 33% would be typical for this mix of problems).

Neighbors voted on what matters most:

01
North Fwy · Illegal dumping & blight
Near the 7,400 block. 9 open, 8 past deadline, oldest waiting 4.9 years.
02
North Fwy · Signals, signs & street lights
Near the 6,500 block. 7 open, 7 past deadline, oldest waiting 4.4 years.

05

We ask your office to request a status and timeline from the responsible departments for these items, starting with those past deadline, and to share the response with our Super Neighborhood.
