Sidewalk is blocked from both sides - by a tree on the street side of the sidewalk and a bush on the other side.
Hello - as of 9:30 PM on May 31st, there's a very large tree limb that appears to have come down during today's storm that is completely covering the sidewalk and some of the street at the corner of Hillside and Palmer. I tried to move it but it's too large for one person. Thanks!
Multiuse Path/Sidewalk covered with low hanging branches and berries all over the path. South of Railroad tracks, north of Eastgate Lane, on west side of 46. Difficult and messy for pedestrians and especially cyclists.
Trailer parked on sidewalk. This house has been parking various things on their sidewalk for months I just always forget to report since the mobile version doesn't work anymore.
There is some sort of storm drain cover between 718 and 706 University that flips over if you step on it. I was walking down the sidewalk on the north side of the street and had to walk on the grass to avoid low hanging trees (that really need to be trimmed). I stepped on the cover and it flipped and I fell into it up to my knee, causing several serious scrapes on my leg. It is very dangerous! I was hurt so I didn't take note of the exact address, but it's on the patch of grass between the sidewalk and the street, and the low-hanging trees make it impossible to walk down the sidewalk - more people are going to fall in it. Please fix it so it doesn't flip - it was a very scary and painful experience!
The large section of the fir tree that blew down last Tuesday is blocking both the sidewalk and the entire southbound lane of Highland. This sidewalk is used by a lot of Winslow Farm residents who walk to the YMCA or trail around the park to the east of Highland. I've seen people walk into the street to get around the large tree section. I hope that will be removed soon. Highland gets a lot of traffic especially when there are events at the Winslow Sports Complex. Removal of the tree should be a high priority.
There is a tent setup on the curb doing some sort of commerce and the customers and staff are taking over the sidewalk, blocking pedestrian paths.
South side of 3rd St, between Woodscrest and Overhill, there's a construction sign and posts laying down across the sidewalk and completely blocking it. Thank you!
An increasing number of individuals are sleeping on the sidewalk every night along with their belongings. They are shielded from view & passing cars by presence of the tree planter. These people inevitably need to use the bathroom throughout the course of the night and do so on the surrounding properties leaving fecal messes all around - both an unsanitary hazard and burden on those who have to clean it up. In the mornings when they leave the area there is always a sizeable mess of garbage, clothing, personal belongings, needles... left behind on the sidewalk, tree planter ledge and surrounding areas.
