These hand rails stick into the public sidewalk - a pedestrian not paying attention could run into these or a bicyclist could really have a collision with these. In at least two places. And they have put reflective tape on them which seems to indicate past problems.
What a surprise, it's 517 W Howe again! Blue car 964DNT parked on sidewalk! Again! WHEN WILL THE CITY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE IDIOTS IN THIS HOUSE?
Parking on the sidewalk and blocking it. They do this regularly.
Shrub on corner of yard is so big that people on the sidewalk have to step onto the grass to get by it.
You just spent $50000-$100,000 putting in handicap ramps and textured strips for blind citizens at the corner of Cottage Grove and Dunn. The house on Dunn, just south of that intersection, has a rope/hammock strung right across the sidewalk for four days. Should a blind person walk thru here, they wouldn't see it and would be "clotheslined"
Homeless blocking and sleeping on the sidewalk south side of 2nd st between college and walnut and camping in the park late night along walnut st
Vegetation obstructing sidewalk in front of 919-921 E. Hunter (esp. the part between the houses, which no owner seems to take responsibility for) remains a problem.
600 E. First St. has a parking area off Henderson St. that fits two cars without encroaching on sidewalk. Current tenants are parking three cars, which results in sidewalk obstruction because they don't angle in enough. See photo. Please work with landlord to prevent this busy commuter sidewalk right of way from pinching down to just two or three feet.
