Sidewalk along eastbound 13th Street is rough and uneven between N Forrest Ave and N Walnut Grove.
sedimentation, dirt complaint
Overgrown vegetation on the north side of E First St is blocking the sidewalk
There is a lot of vegetation growing across the sidewalk covering more than half the sidewalk and it's invasive stuff, so it should be pulled not just cut back. This extends along the city owned property and somewhat to the adjacent home owner's property.
Winslow Woods has overgrown into the sidewalk along Azalea making it impassable. Residents and students walking to South are forced to walk on the road.
On Fees Lane between 10th and 9th street on the west side, the sidewalk has a wooden repair. The concert stops and this is a section of the sidewalk that is made out of wood. It is not a wide as the sidewalk. This morning (2/7), in the rain, I stepped onto that piece of wooden bridge and slipped. I did not fall, but I came really close and now I'm feeling it in my back and legs. Clearly someone knew there was an issue, but, the time to fix the sidewalk correctly was not done. If I develop any issues because of your departments failure to maintain the sidewalk, or your failure to enforce sidewalk repairs, I will be sending the City a bill.
There are "bump-outs" with pipes extending up from the ground surrounding them. I imagine the purpose for these is to protect pedestrians. The only problem is that they extend into the street, causing pedestrians who would not normally be out into the street this far to be there, and also they make it dangerous for cars turning left on each of these (Walnut onto 14th, 14th onto College)because it narrows the turn access, and it also blocks the site of the driver. Why are we putting pedestrians out into the street? Seems like a dangerous situation to me. Thank you.
Sidewalk below grade at Washington and cottage grove. Tripping hazard,
Broken curb pieces in road, I removed the largest pieces, but there are still several smaller pieces. There are actually two spots that need repair. Both are within 4' of each other. Thank you Randy Craw 812-360-3600.
