Construction has blocked the only entrance and exit to our apartment building. The sidewalk is closed, and there is currently no clearly safe pedestrian route to enter/exit the building. Residents have to navigate this uneven gravel/construction area immediately adjacent to an excavation site with a significant drop-off and exposed stakes/rods. This condition has been left for residents to deal with- the construction crew has been gone for hours, and since it's now almost 6 pm I'm guessing they aren't returning tonight. There is no other entrance or exit to the building for two of the four residents. Could you please confirm what temporary pedestrian access is intended for residents and when safe access to the building entrance will be restored?

Hole in the ground, some kind of corroded lid? Poses a tripping hazard.

A branch fell on the sidewalk a few weeks ago, and it was cut back and cleared. However, there is still a sharp branch extending out over the sidewalk that needs to be cut back even further. I walked into it today while walking my dog, and the branch cut my ear. It’s nothing serious but it could have been much worse. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Re: Follow-up to Service Request ID: 208930 I am writing to follow up on my previous request to repaint the curb in front of my driveway with yellow "no parking" paint, to ensure drivers do not obstruct my visibility when exiting my property. Since the repaving and reopening of West 1st Street, traffic has increased significantly, with vehicles frequently traveling in excess of 40 mph. This creates a hazardous situation for homeowners along the street. With the fall semester starting this week, on-street parking near my home is (404 E 1st Street) already at capacity, further compounding the visibility and safety concerns. I would greatly appreciate it if this issue could be addressed as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Elida C. Behar Sunday, August 23, 2026

A broken tree branch is hanging in the way of the path. Also the tree and pylon are covered with mature poison ivy, which extends into the pathway.

Two doors down from us at 1012 South Grant St. the city did street, curb work that involved the digging the ditch out more and creating a much more severe dip in front of that home. The city put up orange cones along the the very edge, indicating it was temporary and in need of final repair. That was probably a year ago. This ditch has a more severe drop off than any other on our street, or any street near by. It is an accident waiting to happen. Please know that our block no longer is just quiet homeowners. We have three Air BnB's (two beside this house) and student rentals (across street and a few down); their weekend parties once included students taking the orange cones for themselves (owners got them back!) and we often have cars parking along our street late at night during their parties. We are concerned someone will get hurt if any car parks along this dangerous edge - (people move the cones), or a person walking along with their dog or late at night can't see the drop off. Please help our block of neighbors learn what the ultimate plan is for repair and safety. A new student season and Air BnB rentals are about to begin. Thank you for reading this and looking into it for us all.
