Overgrown bushes and trees on the property of 604 Swain St are not only obstructing the view of the stop sign at the corner of E University and Swain but also hits car windshields and pedestrians trying to walk along the side of the street which has no sidewalk.
I've noticed sidewalk-users and students having to duck and walk into the street to avoid crowding at this spot on Dunn. The tree overgrowth has made it so anyone over 5 feet tall has to duck to get past.
Low-hanging tree growth is obstructing sidewalk on North Maple Street between 5th & 6th Streets on the west side of the street towards 6th.
This intersection is BLIND to travelers on Grant Street. The building on the NE corner abuts the sidewalk (who allowed this to be built there???), preventing a south-bound driver from seeing cars traveling west on 9th Street, and it's almost as bad for travelers heading north. If the building at 401 E. 9th is allowed to remain standing, there should be at least a stop sign on 9th Street, since it is so difficult to see oncoming traffic.
Property owner should not be allowed to continue renting property until the sidewalk has been repaired to allow pedestrian traffic to pass by safely.
The sidewalk is covered by vegetation. It's extremely dangerous to ride bike since I have to get really close to the end of the sidewalk which was a steep drop off toward the incoming traffic.
two sections of the sidewalk are sloped together so that water pools immediately after a rain. It is a heavily walked sidewalk and the puddle is definitely an inconvenience. I'm considering work on my driveway; can I/should I have the contractor improve the situation? Do I need city approval?
Because this house is so close to the sidewalk, it is nearly impossible to see the E->W cross traffic on 9th Street when one is traveling south on Grant. An easy way to address this is to ask the owner to trim or remove the shrubs that are on the south side of the building. Of course, a better remedy would be to install a stop sign on 9th Street at this intersection, making it an 3-way (= All-way) stop.
sinkhole developing over street train, also sidewalk material deteriorating, coming apart in several places
Virtually all streetlights on the north side of 17th between Dunn and Fee are out. I assume this is due to the construction of the sidewalk. Will the city make sure these lights are restored when the construction is completed?
