Sidewalk overgrowth between The Dillon and Rose Hill Cemetery
Sidewalk overgrowth between The Dillon and Rose Hill Cemetery
Southside walk on 11th Street just east of college avenue. They moved the fence to be too close to the Jersey barriers. It's about a foot of clearance. And that's if you're willing to walk on the base of the fence. Less than that if you aren't. In addition they've allowed cones to accumulate fully blocking the pedestrian access. I moved the cone. In addition you should check out the south end of their construction walk around on the east side of college just south of this photo. There's no handicap access and the access to sidewalk is partially obstructed.
Sidewalk on east side of college avenue just north of 7th Street. About half to 3/4 obstructed by trees hanging over from the property at 120 West 7th Street.
Overgrown bushes to east of driveway block the sidewalk
Sidewalk obstructed by overgrown tree branches
Over the past several months, the sidewalk in front of 1001 East 1st Street has gradually become almost completely blocked by trees and bushes encroaching from the yard. Yesterday, I was relieved to see someone *finally* trimming the bushes—but the work is completely inadequate. Half the sidewalk is still blocked, the bushes and trees still overhang the full sidewalk at a height low enough to force pedestrians to duck, and the trimmed branches have been left lying on the sidewalk. Please require the property owner (or owners—it's hard to tell where the property line is, and some of the problematic bushes and trees may be on the land belonging to the next house) to fully clear the sidewalk and haul away the resulting debris. It shouldn't be necessary to duck and fight one's way down the sidewalk, or to come away smeared in bird droppings.
