Fauna overhanging sidewalk in 2 places at Laughing Planet. Blind pedestrian would hit head in branches
Fauna overhanging sidewalk in 2 places at Laughing Planet. Blind pedestrian would hit head in branches
The sidewalks between the B-Line Trail and Madison Street at the 3rd Street bridge are getting overgrown. Both sidewalks on the north and south sides of 3rd Street running west from the trail to Madison have low hanging trees and overgrown shrubs. There is also a lot of loose sand on the south sidewalk of 3rd Street overpass. As the only way onto the Trail at 3rd, this all makes for an adventure. On my Bicycle I have to be very careful. I'd like to see this trimmed. I bike commute on the trail from the south to the area of 3rd and Madison. My roommate bike commutes to Cowork. I see others use the sidewalks too. Could be much safer. Thanks!
drainage pipe from eaves is partially extending into sidewalk and constitutes a trip hazard especially at night; this area has heavy pedestrian traffic
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.
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.
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.
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

Resident called in regarding a smithville fiber utility truck that parked on the lawn between the sidewalk and street. It left very large tire ruts. It is difficult to mow and should be repaired.
