Sidewalk is completely blocked from downed tree since October 21st.
Euclid and W. 2nd intersection: visibility is greatly impaired for drivers turning off of Euclid onto 2nd here, due to overgrown grass and flowers in right of way on NE corner of intersection. Many folks have brought this issue up and it’s true that it’s quite dangerous to turn out of Euclid here. Some people say the homeowner does it in purpose to discourage people from using Euclid. I worry someone will get seriously hurt.
The sidewalk at 1107 S. Fairview at the property's secondary entrance is always either flooded, slick mud, or covered with dirt and grass is now taking root across it. Until very dry periods one must walk out in the street to get around it. Likewise, the weed trees at the line between 1107 and the apartment complex to the north are overgrown to a point that the sidewalk is becoming increasingly impassible.
Individuals in wheel chairs are forced to be in the street due to in accessible sidewalks, curbs, and no safe crosswalks in the Sherwood oaks neighborhood. Vehicles use high speeds over 35mph on this multi-modal road that is shared by bikes, cars, and individuals in wheelchairs. This is unacceptable and unsafe.
Poisen ivy growing onto side walk
I am a bicyclist and must use the sidewalks occasionally because of lack of bike lanes. The large house on the NE corner of S. High and Maxwell (I believe it is 831 S. High) has large bushes that protrude onto the sidewalk and vines that cover about 1/3 of the sidewalk, creating hazards for pedestrians and bicyclists alike. The homeowners have neglected to trim the bushes and vines for years.
I reported this issue 10 weeks ago, and no action has been taken that I can tell. The home at 831 S. High St. (on the NE corner of High and Maxwell) has vines that have grown over 1/3 of the sidewalk, and branches from bushes hang into the sidewalk as well, making it a hazard for pedestrians and bikers. This home has had hundreds of thousands of dollars of renovations done to it, but the homeowners can't seem to pay someone $25 to cut back the vines and bushes. Something absolutely must be done about this -- I'm tired of having to encounter this neglect on a daily basis.
The sidewalk on the north side of East Moore's between Olcott Rd to just west of Fenbrook is narrow and too close to the road. The road itself is narrow there and there's a lot of fast traffic. It's dangerous, several times I have had trucks speeding by inches from me. West of Fenbrook the sidewalk is crumbling into the road.
Individuals in a wheelchair are forced to travel in the street due to know curb ramps in the neighborhood.
