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.
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 people who live at 712 E Hunter Ave constantly throw glass bottles from their porch into a dumpster that is not theirs. Most of the time they miss on purpose and shatter glass all through the alley and road making it terrible for me to drive on. I have yelled at them but they still continue to do it multiple times through the week almost every night now. Tonight after their party they threw being loud until 2:30 am they shattered multiple bottles and I watched them throw them straight into the road. This is unacceptable and dangerous to not only our cars but all of the people who walk through here. This has been happening for MONTHS. I’ve tried to let it slide because I didn’t know if it was them but now tonight I watched them throw them straight from their porch. If you drive by tomorrow there will probably be glass shattered all over the alley/road. This is the only way for me to exit my parking so this is very inconvenient.
Retaining wall is collapsing onto sidewalk, blocking wheelchair use. Owner has not maintained wall - pieces have been haphazardly thrown back onto the property over the last couple years since the house degenerated into a rental.
I don’t know if this is the right place to report this, but this seems like it might be a problem. The owner has covered the entire yard and the tree plot with gravel. It looks like they’ve done some additional planting lately, but the gravel is eventually going to stop the water from getting to both their new plants and to the street trees. I don’t think this is OK/legal. It looks like a student rental.
These people have spreaded their leaves all over the sidewalk instead of putting them on the street and they get in peoples shoes and make them uncomfortable

ACCESSIBILITY: I ride the bus to work at the Gov. Agency building at 1531 S. Curry Pike, and there most definitely needs to be a sidewalk that continues to wrap around further toward the bus stop so that wheel chairs or folks with other disabilities do not fall into the road. The area is super muddy, and even someone with good balance like me can't walk through it. There is a sidewalk leading through the parking lot, but where the bus drops you off there is no actual sidewalk, and the bus won't drop someone off at the actual sidewalk due to it obstructing the parking lot entrance. All it would take is probably about 20-30 feet of sidewalk right there. There may already be a number of complaints, but I really hope it gets fixed so someone doesn't flip their wheelchair into the road or something. Member of the Community Council for Accessibility here, and want to thank you for giving the opportunity to voice our concerns. Thanks, Chris :)
As the population of NW Monroe county has grown, Maple Grove road has become more and more of a main through-way. I have lived near Maple Grove / Lost Mans Lane for 15+ years and have one suggestion that could save some lives... add a shoulder to maple grove road between Arlington and Lost Mans' Lane. The effort would not be a huge one and would 100% solve the safety problems of Maple Grove road.
The curb area in front of Switchyard Brewing Company has no grass-419 North Walnut St. this causes a very muddy mess inside of the business we have a tempted to grow grass with no success
