Today at 1:18pm I was traveling north on Hawthorne and came upon someone from parking enforcement parking directly in the middle of the street, blocking traffic from both sides, as well as the 'neighborhood greenway' bike path, in order to (I assume) write a parked vehicle a ticket, despite there being available parking along the east side of the street (both in front of and behind the large silver SUV shown on the right hand side of the photo). The officer returned to the car and moved out of the way upon our approach (although not for the bicyclist that was ahead of us). While we didn't wait very long, I would think parking out of the way in the first place would be the preferred method for performing his duties, rather than blocking traffic to do so. Just a thought.

this is at 701 S. Lincoln Street on the corner of Lincoln and Wiley. The bike path sign in front of my house is leaning over the sidewalk again and blocking the side walk. Someone keeps doing this. I would appreciate if it could be secured or removed. There is a large hole in the ground. thank you

Snow clearance - big ice boulders left at foot of driveway making it hazardous for me to back out. USUALLY cul-de-sace cleared much better, so I hate to complain but I have to go to school Monday. The cold temps make it difficult to break up and I am 65. so. . . 3622 S Eddington Drive.

I do a lot of walking for exercise. I have noticed that many homeowners are allowing trees and bushes to grow over sidewalks. Can you help it getting foliage cut back?

Apartment building (Hyatt Place) construction on S. 4th Street between College and Madison has been frequently blocking traffic or limiting it to one lane near the B-Line for the past 8-12 months. There is rarely anybody directing traffic (and if there is, it is usually a construction worker who only sometimes has a handheld stop sign). Construction vehicles often dart out into the street during high traffic times (morning and evening work rushes) and block entrance to nearby apartment buildings. Furthermore, lack of barricades or proper containment causes debris, shrapnel, and other detritus to spill into the street from construction vehicles and dumpsters, often causing hazardous conditions for drivers and vehicles. My own vehicle was recently damaged by stray debris (which was impossible to avoid) and may even be totaled as a result. This also creates dangerous conditions for pedestrians on the sidewalks and makes it impossible for pedestrians on the B-Line to see oncoming traffic before crossing 4th street.

There is a lot of growth on the south side of the alley behind 1412 S Walnut, making it difficult to get in and out of the parking behind the houses from there south to Hillside.

The public sidepath between Southdowns and Greenwood Avenue is blocked by overgrown plants. This is a walk-to-school route, used by people with strollers and at least one person in a wheelchair. Walkers are currently trampling the adjacent yard in order to avoid the plants. The plants are growing from the garden of Mr. Sagarin, who you may remember sued the council over the path, so I hesitate to contact him directly. Please resolve this urgently. Thank you.

Earlier tonight a tree fell down over the bridge at Lake Griffy, blocking both lanes of traffic. A few of us motorists got out and pushed it over the guardrail to clear the road. It occurs to me that now it's possible for that tree to roll down on to boaters (although I think it's still partly attached at the base). You might want to check it out though, and also possibly the guardrail sections on both sides. It's on the side closest to the boat house.

The lawn crew at Barclay Square (3000 S. Walnut St. Pk.) are blowing ALL of the leaves out into the street. There are piles of them. With the rain just beginning, it is quite slippery in that location. This is a dangerous hazard created by these idiots.
