On April 6th I reported eight sidewalk problems along the north side of Heather Dr. between Grasstree Ct. and Laurel Ct. I included photos and also mentioned these could be a safety hazard, especially for many of our older residents.
The following day I received a call back which was much appreciated. Although some work has been done (see last paragraph), nothing at all was done to the most uneven slab. It is directly across from 700 Heather on the NORTH side of the street near a mailbox cluster. See 701_E_Heather_Dr.jpg. There is a full 2" difference in height.
I am reporting this particular one again, because a resident tripped on it April 27th and received bruises and abrasions to her face and hands. Her name is Barbara Wachholz, and she lives at 3708 Grasstree Ct. A neighbor was concerned enough to photograph her face. Fortunately, no bones were broken.
I notice some of these raised/uneven slabs were recently beveled or chipped off which could probably help. But I don't believe this was done thoroughly enough to help very much. For example the other end of the slab adjacent to the one I mentioned above wasn't chipped off all the way across.
Please advise.
Thank you, Marvin Allen, 3907 S. Laurel Ct.

We are having an annual sidewalk sale on July 11th and wanted to get approval to have a food truck parked outside of our store. Just wondering who I would contact to get approval or fill out a request.
Thanks,

Excessive Growth
444 S Walnut ST
- Case Date:
- 5/25/2015
Spring cleaners at the corner of second street and walnut persistently does not take care of the VERY excessive growth of weeds on its property. This has gone on every summer since it opened the business at that location. Snow is not removed either in the winter. It looks like another summer of excessive neglect is happening. Please get this business to take care of this and certainly if the city has any responsibility for this property, get it under control

The wonderful new sidewalk so many of us use (1300 block of East Maxwell) was damaged by a cement truck working at the newly renovated home driveway, second house from Highland on the north side. On either side of the driveway, severe cracks will buckle over next few years with freeze-thaw and will be dangerous to the many of us who now use the sidewalk. Please see that the contractor repairs the damage done.

The bike lane between the bus stop and sidewalk (across the street from TIS Bookstore) is filled with sand. I'm guessing the street sweepers can't get into this narrow lane, but this is dangerous for cyclists riding through here and should be cleaned up.
Thanks!

This short connector sidewalk is becoming impassable due to overgrown vegetation. It is a really useful path to avoid biking up the hill on Winslow in traffic.

Hello. This is not a complaint. Its actually a thank you very very much. The turnabout that was installed on 17th St. behind tri-north is absolutely amazing. It has improved traffic flow so much. I thank you. I'm writing to let you know there are still a series of "sidewalk alternate route" signs that were placed on 11th and Blair, 11th and Maple, up by Mills Pool, and various other places leading from my neighborhood to the turnabout. They seem to not be used anymore and I notice they get moved either into the street, up into peoples yards, or back in the middle of the sidewalk. If construction is done, I just wanted to inform you that they are just generally being forgotten about by whomever put them there. If they are still being used, they are just laying about being ineffective. Just trying to be a good citizen. Thanks for all you do!
