Plants on property encroaching onto sidewalk making it dangerous for pedestrians trying to avoid heavy , high speed traffic on atwater avenue. Plants are a trip hazard. Plants are also not allowing for handicap access on that block.
Sidewalk at least half blocked by trimmed bushes. Only 24” wide and no way can a wheelchair get through not to mention two walkers side by side . Then around the corner the same property has allowed there evergreens the grow out onto the sidewalk making it difficult for a wheelchair or walker to get past.
Big rock at tree plot and alley in front of this property has been knocked into the sidewalk r/o/w. It has been obstructing the sidewalk for over a month
Vegetation again obstructing passage on sidewalk on the Woodlawn side. During rush hour, with many walkers forced onto the street, this is dangerous.
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.
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.
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.
1404 E Atwater. Overgrown sidewalk. That street is too busy for pedestrians to be forced closer to traffic.
