Hello,
I am writing to this email address since I've been told that trees between a sidewalk and the street are considered street trees, and are managed by the City Parks Urban Forestry Program.
I last year bought a house at 3216 E Winston St.. At that time the two trees to the east of the house between the sidewalk and the street looked unwell, but I thought it might be because the summer before had been exceptionally dry, and I knew the house had been vacant (and so presumably not necessarily well cared for) for some time.
However, it's now apparent that one is dead and the other is nearly so.
Can you let me know if the city is responsible for these trees? And if so, if there's another department I should report this to?
Thank you very much for any assistance you can give.
Sincerely,
Tracy Whelan

At (or very close to) 509 N Lincoln St there has been water flowing onto the sidewalk for months. There is now a huge mud slick across several yards of sidewalk that everyone waking on that side has to step into the street to avoid.

A new drain on the sidewalk along South Henderson St by the South football practice fields has a raised portion. We are concerned that in the dark (night or mornings) that pedestrians will not notice the raised portion and will trip, fall, end up n the street. Could this be striped some way to announce it's presence?

South Highland Avenue

The sidewalk just north of the YMCA sign on South Highland Ave is slick with mud. Erosion from an adjacent hillside and mud/leaves from the gutter keep the sidewalk muddy. I shoveled mud off off it for an hour earlier this week, but it needs more work. Cleaning the gutter would be a big help. Thanks!
Potholes, Other Street Repair

Hi:
I am just wondering who is responsible for street/landscape maintenance along certain streets in the city and county that I travel often. Along Smith Rd., just north of Hillside, there was a lot of brush that has been cut down but nothing else and an ugly partial fence is still standing. The new roundabout at Sare Rd. and Rogers….who is responsible for maintaining the landscaping that was installed. It is a bunch of weeds right now. Along south Highland, just north of Rogers, there is a curve that is alway full of potholes and the street and sidewalk are a mess. On Sare Rd., at the entrance to Hyde Park, who is responsible for a mess of grass clippings that is always left after the grass is allowed to grow very, very long. It is still there. Just some questions. I tried to attach photos but I have not had success. Thanks. Debbie Kuratko
