Tree branches need to be trimmed as they are blocking the sidewalk. 316 n Washington
I would like to report several trees along High Street with low-hanging branches that are partially blocking the sidewalk. These tree branches are hanging 3-5 feet above the sidewalk and making it very hard for anyone to walk or run without having to duck constantly. The tree branches are posing a hazard because pedestrians may need to step out into the street to navigate around them because they are partially obstructing the path. Is the city responsible for the trimming of tree branches above sidewalks? The issue has been worsening since last year.
The bike rack at Sahara Mart on 2nd street is not ideally located. It is afixed to a street sign. The street sign blocks one of the parking spots. The rack faces the street and if you park your bike on the side of the rack that you are supposed to, it hangs in the street. The other option is park your bike on the "wrong" side of the rack and have it hanging in the sidewalk in the way of pedestrians. Plus, the bike isn't well supported on that side, so the chances of it falling over are great.
Sidewalk I front of 415 N Rogers is crumbling and causes a hazard to walking pedestrians
My little sister and i got to walk in a high speed street because yet again people are parking on the sidewalk.
Sidewalk directly east of/ next to Noodles Restaurant building @ 517 E. Kirkwood is completely dark afer 5:30 pm. Last night, there were people in the tree/shrub area as we walked toward the restaurant, hidden from view. Construction tarp along this sidewalk makes walking along this strip between building potentially dangerous. There is no lighting coming off of the building or the construction site/lot. Suggest some type of lighting from building or IU lot now storing construction materials.
Sidewalk is in need of repair. Multiple trip hazards. Major upheaval at tree sidewalk juncture. Curtesy of tree roots.
Bushes are overtaking the sidewalk on the NE corner of High street, just above the Rogers/Winslow roundabout. This makes walking or biking along the sidewalk to get to the Jackson Creek Trail somewhat dangerous, as the overgrowth pushes you out towards High Street. Cars are coming out the round about and accelerating, in this area, and sure seems real dangerous for smaller kids trying to navigate the narrow strip of sidewalk with speeding cars so close.
There is a curb cut from the Turkuaz parking lot at 3rd & Lincoln onto Lincoln. For pedestrians walking south along the sidewalk, their is poor visibility to see cars pulling out here, and likewise I suspect cars don't have a good sightline for pedestrians. I was almost hit last night as a pedestrian by a car quickly pulling out here and onto Lincoln. Can the city review this and see if it can be made a bit more safe? Is the curb cut even necessary here?
