A large tree branch is blocking the street.
Privately owned businesses on the north aide of the 100 block of E Kirkwood — a public street —have completely blocked off the entire width of the street, making it completely inaccessible to bicycles. When Kirkwood is closed to car traffic, the public street still needs to be shared space and not dedicated exclusively to private business owners of the Uptown and the Farm restaurants!
One and sometimes two cars are parked on the unimproved shoulder of the street preventing cars from easily passing. The south bound lane is obstructed by this parking.
Overgrowth on west side of Waldron St. between 4th & Kirkwood. Two lane road is becoming one lane due to overgrowth. I can't see when pulling out of my driveway and cars have to wait for one another to pass. Needs trimmed back.
A blue Toyota has been parked (facing the wrong way) at the corner of Meadow Lane and O’Brien Place for about two months. It apparently is abandoned.
A car has been parked at the yellow curb on W 6th just W of Elm since last night. This is a common occurance.
Alley between Union and Bryan, just north of 5th is barely passable in a small passenger car due to vehicles poorly parked in the alley. One of the vehicles is a yellow VW Bug.
This was an issue last night (4/19/23) around 9pm and beyond. Both lanes of S Dunn St, especially between 6th St and Kirkwood were completely backed up due to multiple Ubers waiting to drop-off and pick-up as well as Doordash or other delivery services parked (flashers on) on S Dunn St. Everyone in the right lane was trying to move to the left lane to get past these parked cars. There was enough traffic, that no one could move. There was also a car parked beside the the yellow stanchions on Kirkwood at this location. This is very frustrating and drivers were becoming agitated. I do not know if this happens every night, but parking in a driving lane on S Dunn St is not appropriate.
Rhodes Family Farm truck parked on sidewalk. North side of Kirkwood. It was unoccupied. I fell trying to get around it without stepping in the giant puddles in front of it. Now I'm soaked and still have more errands to do walking in cold temps. I'm getting so tired of everyone parking on sidewalks.
