Low hanging broken tree limb in alley
Two trees are down in this area due to storm. Neighborhood residents removed trees from street and most of tree from sidewalk. Some of the trees have been cut into manageable pieces and are piled in yards. Some pieces weren’t able to be cut before dark.
A gust of wind ripped away a tree limb on the red maple in front of my house and was blocking the sidewalk. I contacted the urban forester and left a message describing this situation, but didn't get a response. Eventually my housemates and I brought the limb down ourselves, but it still needs to be removed from the side of the road. Most of the debris has already been cleared except for the limb. We have enough firewood. Please remove the limb from the side of the road, thanks.
There is a fallen branch on the sidewalk and treelawn (city easement) in front of my home. It fell from a city tree across the street. Presumably, someone moved it out of the roadway onto my easement. It is not thick, but is large and unwieldy. I do not have a photo I can submit.
A truck apparently lost two loads of branches on Rogers Street. Motorists had to drive around them as they were blocking the road. Someone then placed them in our yard. We have no way of dealing with this.
Our recycling did not get picked up along with at least one other can on Jackson Street. Also this is the can that did get picked up blocking the alley next to my house where I park. I have observed trash pick up on Jackson Street for about 40 years. The cans were always put back where they were left for 39 years. But this year the cans are left in the street, blocking alleys and thrown down where they land. This in not considerate and it not how the trash has been handled in the past. It is not acceptable service. I have complained to Adam Wason to no avail. I really do not think this is too much to ask. The other end of the alley was also blocked by a trash can sitting right in the middle and people park on the alleys and use them for transportation. At least we can drive around the cans that are left in Jackson Street but the morning after trash day, it looks like a tornado has gone through and scattered cans everywhere. Is this what we should expect and accept from our city services these days? I hate to complain and I was waiting for this to get better but it has not improved at all.... Chris Sturbaum
I found a needle underneath a bench on the b-line this morning when I was opening the WonderLab garden gates. This happens every few months. Would it be possible to get a sharps container on the b-line? Or could the city help WonderLab get a sharps container? It is not on our property, but the presence of sharps could directly impact our visitors.
Please regularly sweep this corner, it is always filled with sand/gravel
The vicinity of the corner of Howe and Morton has an excessive amount of broken glass and dust/gravel in the street, especially at the northwest corner of the intersection, washed down from further up the hill. Please send the streetsweeper!
