The "dismount zones" are not working. They never did work, and now the scooters are an even bigger hazard. I see people riding them on the sidewalks around the square every day. If riders can't be bothered to care on their own, maybe we need some enforcement personnel out there to make them care. If we can have parking meter patrols, then surely we can have sidewalk patrols with authority to issue citations.

Dead and damaged trees are hanging over near the sidewalk and retaining wall. They appear to be ready to fall and pose a risk to sidewalk pedestrian traffic, as well as nearby homes. Please remove trees or as much of them as possible to avoid any potential issues.

Neighbor has allowed bushes in front yard to grow excessively, and sidewalk has not been cleared of large sticks, etc, forcing pedestrians to move off the sidewalk to pass by. Hate to complain about stuff like this but when you pay to be in an HOA its nice to be able to walk on your sidewalk (:

The sidewalk along Winslow between Henderson and Picadilly, the south sidewalk next the Sherwood Greens, has two spots in need of repair. One portion of the sidewalk is sunk in and the other portion is crumbling. There are several people with mobility issues who use that sidewalk and also many runners use that sidewalk as well. The photos I am sharing are a year old so the problem has gotten worse. Thank you.

East Kirkwood Avenue looks like a shanty town! Homeless are blocking the street, sleeping on the sidewalk, hanging clothes from fences and putting up tents!

Once again the police have had to come into our area, following a street fight along the sidewalk between our homes. Just 2 nights ago shots were being fired less than 12ft. from my grandson's bedroom at 1am on that sidewalk. Police did find 1 of the 6 teens. Yesterday the fight landed two young adults in my driveway seeking refuge from an out of control violent young man. I'm disabled on crutches, and when I tried to stop the attacker from coming on my property he threatened serious harm to me and my grandson. Just before it got deadly, police with a K-9 arrived. Thank you BPD. The cut-thru sidewalk has become a danger and a menace to all of us and it is used mainly for bad activity. It needs to be closed, and the broken steps up to 12th street need to go. Many of us are elderly, disabled, and tired of these constant problems. City leaders NEED to come and see this area, and the trash, broken steps, empty drug needles, etc. We need help beyond having to call BPD all the time. Please take this seriously before someone is not just assaulted again, but perhaps shot. 2 gun incidents this spring is 2 too many. Thank You.

I believe the underground roots of a city planted oak tree are destroying the sidewalk in front of my house, also causing large cracks in my driveway entrance....numerous people have tripped and fallen on this sidewalk, which has gotten worse this past year....this is a heavily traveled sidewalk on the way to RCA Community Park and has created an unsafe situation...Please contact me to see if this can be safely repaired...than you, Dave Reid

Blocked Sidewalk

The sidewalk on the west side of the street along Basswood Drive has multiple low hanging trees and bushes blocking the path from being used. It is particularly bad between the two Forest Ridge complexes, and can get bad on the east side of the street as well. Thank you.

The sidewalk from Rogers to Madison on the north side of 4th street is impassable due to mud from run off and from untrimmed trees and shrubs. This is a reoccurring problem and makes walking with a stroller impossible.
