health safety - ongoing issue that needs to be discontinued AND mitigated CLEANED UP

Part of this drainage canal is in the Pinellas Park district and part is in the city of Largo district. In other words behind our house is Pnellas Park but everything north that abuts Ranchero Village and Pine Forest is the city of Largo. I contacted the city of Largo several times and was told there was a work order in process to get the drainage ditch cleaned out. I’ve only see them go over and mow but from the pictures you can see below, it is terribly over grown. Over the years from my recall this has only been dredged out once maybe twice and I’m not sure who did it. It has been neglected for a very long time causing loads of vegetation to grow in the drainage canal and consequently the water flow is basically nonexistent. The stagnant water was checked last year by Pinellas County and loads of mosquito larvae were found and they treated it and my yard and the neighbors unkept swimming pool. We understand that money has been allocated to clean up drainage canal’s and ditches in our area and we would very much like a response from someone as to when we can expect this to be done. We purchased this property 40 yrs ago because it was actually considered on the water. Instead of a beautiful place for the ducks to swim and otters to Roam, it has become a horrible eyesore and we need attention to it .

Drug sales in driveway constantly.

Cars pay no attention to the do not block intersection here. This is a frequent occurrence.

Lights at this intersection are very long. It seems like 66th street north and south are extremely long and doesn't change until a vehicle enters the left turn lane on 66th street which changes for that car immediately. Then north and south bound traffic continues for a minute or so and finally the light changes for east and west bound traffic on 82nd Ave north. By this time so much traffic has backed up that not all cars can make the light to go north or south on 66th street.

Purple Haze has a part on April 20th of every year. They blast music for 10 hours that causes the windows in neighboring houses to shake. I am in the neighborhood behind them and work from home and cannot hear over their noise. Whenever I call to ask them if they can turn it down the owner gets an attitude about it. The entire neighborhood is suffering from this including people who have young children that are impacted by this. I have been up since 4 am for work and I am tired of listening to this and having no ability to do anything about it because it is unincorporated and there are no legal ramifications. Please stop giving this man permits to make life miserable for everyone within a 5 mile radius. I have tried speaking to him and he doesn't care about the community or the people he is impacting.

Sight restriction. Picture from stop sign looking west

City acknowledged complaint in January and stated home would be demolished, however it is now May and nothing has been done. Property management company was on site April 21 and did nothing to secure property and now there is a homeless camp set up behind home with junk/trash everywhere. Could the city PLEASE do something about this property as it has been allowed to be a nuisance WAY TOO LONG

Crossroads at Belcher and 118th Ave N Largo Fl

The website keeppinellasbeautiful.org says to report littering on private property to code enforcement. The Seminole Beacon litters the neighborhood weekly. I've contacted them multiple times to stop leaving their garbage in my driveway, which they agreed to do on May 29th, 2018. However, they continue leaving their garbage in my driveway, and haven't responded to my last email. I don't know how to resolve this issue in a civil way.
