Sidewalk south of Dixie is full of multiply-cracked sections. Msybe put it on a to-be-replaced lost? Also, easier to take care of: greenery is encroaching on the sidewalk; there's even a large branch there. Thanks!
At the Relato. Entire multi use path is blocked again with no warning and almost certainly no permit. This is dangerous, especially for bikers coming down the hill. Per ureport #209421 response from Kyle Baugh, further incidents will result in a notice of violation being issued. The pattern must be broken, hopefully the violation does that.
115 e kirkwood construction walkaround blocked by concrete truck
sidewalk on south side of 15th just west of woodburn (1015 N woodburn) is chronicly blocked with vegetation. if this is ever cleared off, please restore *full* width of sidewalk, because this has been growing on the sodewalk for a *long* time thanks!
220 W 14th St. This is a repeat of #212155. I need you to understand the methodology behind this photograph. I held my phone pointing directly ahead of me, with both of my feet squarely on the sidewalk (at the edge of the sidewalk). My phone was directly in front of my face. The branch directly in the center of the photo is exactly where my eyes would be if i had continued to walk forwards. Practically, this is a genuine problem because I really do walk along the edge of the sidewalk so that i can walk 2- or 3-abreast with my family. It's a safety problem because if I do not see the branch then it will hit my eye, as has already happened at this location! It's an inconvenience because it is a point where the sidewalk narrows from 5ft to effectively 4ft. Pedestrians are forced to reconfigure their groups at these narrowings. It costs us time and energy and makes conversing difficult. I'm not sure what enforcement authority you're acting under but it's a legal problem as well, for example BMC 12.24.040 requires a clear distance of 8ft above sidewalks. FWIW, I'm asking for 6ft. The transportation plan also weighs in on this, Table 5 Pedestrian Zone Design Parameters "Clear space for all pedestrian travel, should be clear of any and all fixed obstacles." I didn't think it was necessary to be so explicit but they were -- "any and all" definitely includes branches that extend 6 inches into your eye sockets. The specific undesirability of having fixed obstacles extending over the sidewalk exactly at eye height *for any distance* has been explicitly acknowledged and i can't believe i'm trying to point this out today. Anyways i really do appreciate that this has seen already more enforcement action than the whole city put together before about 2022 but if this is what compliance looks like then we have a problem.
another blocked sidewalk from overgrown flora
sidewalk is 100% blocked by this overgrown shrub/bush/tree
Sidewalk / path on west side of Walnut avout 100ft north of 19th st is missing part of the asphalt. seems like someone did utility work and forgot to replace the sidewalk. thanks!
The sign, tire pieces, and tall grass are blocking the sidewalk. Pedestrians have to climb over or walk out into the rod to get around the clutter. This situation has been there for over a couple of weeks now.
