There is overgrowth reported extending to the roadway on the east side of South Highland Avenue where Wylie Street runs eastward into South Highland; the land itself is part of the Old Kinsey Estate.
Email says: "property is violating 20.05.052 (a) (1) regarding the placement of landscape materials in the right-of-way"
The sidewalk in front of the first tree to the east of this address is raised up a few inches, creating a tripping hazard.
Complaint received via twitter. After City work was done on the south side of the square, there was a large screw sticking up out of the sidewalk. I've attached the picture that was sent to us. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DFlpx5TXcAEzm02.jpg
There is no yellow paint or other indicator near the intersection so people don't part close to it. As such, turns become tight and difficult, as well as there being an obstructed line of sight because cars are in the way. The request is that there be some measure put in place to prevent parked cars from clogging the intersection.
I have noticed several unfinished areas along my walking route to downtown. In my neighborhood at the corner of S Dunn St and Wilson there is a large hole with a construction sign lying next to it. In addition the entity left a large oil spill in the gravel leading into the neighborhood green space at that corner.
Cassie Slone owns Cherry Canary Vintage (214 W. 4th St). There's a metal plate across her sidewalk that is disintegrating and she's concerned that it's dangerous if someone steps into it. She believes that a similar sidewalk issue was repaired at the business next to her several months ago.
